I bet that goes mad on 98 Octane too, as it's probably designed to run on 89. I assume it'll be remapped for over here to run on at least 95 but I wonder if a remap to run solely on Optimax might release a few extra horses.

I'd have bought a yellow one, but good choice mate.

I bet you don't get 23 mpg from it

I reckon about 18 will be more like it

but so what

The only slight reservation I have with LHD , is I saw a guy in the Multistory car park, I park in having to get out the car, feed the ticket in and then run back in and try to get through the barrier before it dropped.

I'm not sure I could do that on a daily basis. Plus overtaking must be a bit scary.

And you'd have to reverse through the drive through at Maccy Ds

Nice car Chris, is Donna allowed to drive it?

Never really thought about that.

That is amazing for that price...! Not if only I could widen my garage by about 2x

Very nice.

EDIT - had to go lookon Piston Heads and Autotrader You did get an amazing price there. Even more weird, that advert with irish bloke trying to insure his Corvette, then changing to a people carrier has just been on

Fletch looks cool mate. My mate has one and the HUD is , not seen it at night but it's enough in the day so night time would be awesome.

So whilst you blast my little 1.8 Malaysian special into the dust on the straights I'll see you in the corners mate

Verry nice....Always liked the way they look.

Cool,
You're nice and close to the pavement so you can follow the line while driving and if you've got long arms you can reach the bums as well.

I'm told that the general maintenance costs are very good.
Comparable to most UK cars.

My only concern is finding a garage I trust with it.

I reckon the engine will be simple and bombproof

out of warranty an independent beckons

thing is, once a year you could combine servicing with a couple of days away

so it doesn't even have to be a local specialist
