Does nobody drive hot hatches as they were supposed to be driven? Or are they just McDonalds car park cars?

[quote="wardie_206"]
Hmm...agree that its sat low, but, if you were to straighten your front wheels i can guarantee (looking and going by this pic) that the gap between tyre and arch is MUCH greater than that of the rear, which...if what i've been reading off some of the ''professionals'' on here - is not nose down?
Pretty much, if not more so, in the same boat as me yet mine gets a hammering and yours gets praised.... 
Very nice car though mate

Like it so much more, when as you say, it's flush to the ground. If you aren't finding it annoying to drive definately keep it.
