Did both of ours last month and no issues whatsoever. Worked straight away.

Hmmm. I paid £33,500 a couple of years ago and now it's going up to £35,320 Given the current situation I'm not sure it's the right thing to do. Most people right now are probably looking for prices to go down rather than up.

I noticed my one doing the same thing last week.

We've had our FK8 over 2 years now. It's a fantastic car all round. Only thing that lets it down is the POS infotainment system .... but that's been discussed to death now. Apart from that there's absolutely nothing I can complain about. And that's unusual for me :) Hope you enjoy the new motor.

£500 for the set .... that's nuts!

Good choice, you'll love it.

Pretty sure we're around £250 a year. Was £180 until I hit a barrier in a car park. Even with protected NCD it gets whacked up a bit.

Collected this one on Tuesday as my day to day commuting car (since the wife won't give me the Civic) :) 180bhp, Koni dampers, Brembo brakes, Monza valved exhaust system and Sabelt bucket seats. Not quite the FK8 but it makes a hell of a lot more noise.

My learner car was a Maestro and was truly horrible. Swapped instruuctor and the new one had a Sunny 1.4 and it was so much better to drive.

It's actually my son. He was supposed to get his test in March but it got cancelled on the day just when Covid kicked in. His next one isn't until November so he's been driving the FK8 at weekends and he absolutely loves it. He's a brilliant driver so we have no issues at all. It's less than £7...

Been taking my 17 year old out in the FK8 quite a bit as he's waiting for his test and noticed that metallic L plates won't stick to the bonnet or boot. They work on the roof and sides, so what is the difference. Are these sections not made of metal?

We got a call from the dealer yesterday. Booked in for 2nd November as it's the first date they can collect the car from home. Told to leave as little fuel as possible.

I've had this a few times but a good bang on the shield with a long screw driver seems to sort it.

Dealer was a bit better this time. They sent a video showing the brakes and tyres. Pads both front and rear are about 40% worn so OK. They tried to do me on tyres again, they found a cut on one of the rear tyres that is through to the cord apparently, but it's tiny. They were looking for £502...

It worked perfectly well until about 6 weeks ago. Makes a screeching noise when turned on now and no cold air.
