I've only had this 'beast' a week. It's absolutely everything I imagined and more, from the best gearbox on the market to the noise and acceleration. It looks discrete and classy, I added the 19 inch black alloys and leather seats that finish it off for looks. I never test drove it, I just saw the modeland colour in showroom and ordered it. It's practical, comfortable and a pleasure to drive.

What a great car! I needed a good all round family car which would also scratch my 'hot hatch' itch without huge running costs. This car does it all and then some. I added a few extras to mine with the rear cam, climate screen and the Dynaudio (which is superb). When you just want to take the family on a trip it's perfect. I get 37+ mpg on a run and when the kids aren't about the car goes like something off a stick. It goes just as well in the rain, the grip of this thing is fantastic! The ride can be a little firm but you get used to that. The way the car goes around corners is great and offers so much confidence. I don't really see any downside to this car so far, it's understated looks help to keep it as a Q car and it really does shift when it needs to.
