Hi people, I'm Martyn from Lincoln, will hopefully be joining the ownership ranks this coming week. Going to look at a 6 MPS on Friday, so joined up now to gain more info about the cars. I've wanted a 6 for a while, and the time seems right now. Hopefully it will be a big step up from my Clio RS182! I'm sure if I get the car i'll be on here quite a lot! Cheers!

I have read the buyers guide and have done a lot of research so hopefully won't get stung!
I've seen people say the 6 mps looks dull, but I love the way they look too.

Welcome along.
I went from an mps6 to a clio RS182. I lasted 4 months in the clio before buying another 6. Obviously they are very different cars and the clio is very good at what it does, but for me as a daily driver, the 6 wins hands down.
Hope the viewing goes well

So I bought the car, moist silver, 96000 miles. Couple of minor niggles, a small split and Wear on the drivers seat (which I'll have a go at sorting myself) an unpainted totalmps front grill, which will just get glossed black, and some bubbling in various places (of which research suggests is a common thing on these) but overall I'm happy with the car! Will post pics when I pick it up next week!
