Nice. It's a pretty tempting proposition. I keep pondering what next, "needs 4 seats" is a massive pita

Just signed on the dotted line. Car will be at dealers 18th April and then a PDI/registration later it'll be mine
Gone for satnav in the end. The increase balloon payment due to residual value means the monthly cost is almost identical.
Woooohhhhoooooo

Bet you can't wait Ben!

I just got my first auto since 1988 (Audi 100).
Bloody brilliant for a cruiser, so much more relaxed around town too.
Last time I drove with a slushbox was in a Plymouth Breeze, in Florida, about ten years ago.

I have already made a knob of myself a couple of times by hitting the brake pedal with both feet,
attempting to change down a gear lol.
Bloke oncoming in the country lane must have thought I was taking the piss with my exaggerated panic braking
Its all good though, paddles are nice but I just cant be arsed to move my fingertips (BMW driver).

So Ben, how is it then?!
