1. I know about cars. 2. I value performance most important when buying a car. 3. I'm still conscious of running costs.

They think the car is awesome and that I've won the lottery.

Absolutely but an even better engine next time.

September 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
Excellent deal, a lot of car for the money. they essentially price matched what was available else where.

The best performance/fuel economy ratio on the market at the time.
What was the dealer like?
I very surprising lack of knowledge of the car from the rep (I knew more) but they employ a 'genius' (yes that's his job title) to take you on test drive and he was very good. they were good logistically.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In 2 years...nothing unless you can count the mirror occasionally sliding out of position! top notch reliability.
What's most practical about your car?
It has a big boot and is handy that it can be opened remotely by the key, especially if you're carrying a load of shopping!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The adaptive drive button or whatever it's called. eco pro when in heavy traffic or city centres, comfort for every day driving and sport mode on country roads or overtaking. it's an animal in sport mode and feels like a completely different car.
