Utterly more brilliant handling the worse the conditions get, demists/warms almost instantly - possibly due to the twin SOHC heads, which are tiny.

And it sees round corners, like a DS.

Bought this for £1600

Actually love it to bits, love how bland it is, love the heated leather, love the economy, love the space

Looks like an old shape highline. Had one of them from new about 10 years ago. Long gone now.

Lack of snow doesn't help, FB.

If / when it snows, this is usually what happens





My 'hack' is this. I ran something cheap and it ended up costing more per month than something far less nasty - S2000 is all but retired these days.
