One of the best ?hot hatches? ever
After I passed my driving test at 18 I longed for a ?boy racer? car, I dreamed of having car to be proud of, to drive round aimlessly at night!

Advantages: Retro, Vintage, easy to drive Disadvantages: Choke
I am a new driver of only 1 and 1/2 months, 17 years old. I passed my test on the first attempt, which surprised the hell out of me. Fortunately, my dad had already bought me a car for my birthday about 3 months before. This car was my very own Peugeot 205 GT (G reg). It's a sort of slivery blue, 5 door.
I have to say that I whole heartedly love this car, it is actually my favourite posession, so I thought I would write a review to reflect how it does from a first car point of view.

Advantages: Great for tracking your performance and working to improve it Disadvantages: Doesn't feel good losing a race with your virtual partner :-(

+ The Product:
Essentially its a small wrist mounted GPS, at its very basic it will record information on your run (or walk or cycle ride). Information can be viewed on this history section of the GPS so you can see / compare things like distance run, average speed, fastest speed etc.. You can then download this information for a permanent record, or to carry out more analysis, or even to save the route so you can send this to friends.
+ Training Options:
Another key feature is the training options built into the GPS, training sessions can be set to enable you do carry out specific training ...
