3 door, 4 door, 5 door, Estate or cabriolet?

Phase 1 model or phase 2 model?

To get the correct weight you need to say what model type as above the year and exact model spec, L GL LX etc.

They all make a difference.

If the car is fairly new then all the relevant weights will be on the VIN plate.
