I have always wanted one for about 3 years . When I finally got the chance to couldn't resist .

What was the dealer like?

A very nice place , always getting hot chocolate and was nice to be left to look at the cars and not get harassed by a salesman every two minutes. Very clean and tidy setup.

Biblically fast , surprises many people just how fast it is , the torque of the engine is immense . Handling sharp but doesn't compromise comfort .

Its not the biggest car . Boot space is big but the entrance gap isn't . Seat folding triggers in the boot make it easy twofold the seats flat from within the boot . Easy to park .

Harmon kardon sound system enough said. Little sad that front fogs weren't standard on a 30k+ car.
