Adaptive Suspension does make a big difference with the RF's. I like them a lot in comfort mode on a long drive.

Just for info - the DCT blips the throttle each time you change down and makes a lovely noise!

Ok .. fair enough I will respect that, but I feel I only changed my mind not to sell due to my op ... I was going to offer a full tank of petrol on me, when you received your new car, but I will respect your wishes

I will place you in my ignore list, but good luck with your purchase

DCT or manual?

Great spec, the same I went for, pics on collection if you will. :thumbsup:
Sorry I forgot to say manual not DCT - I prefer the manual box and espcially when down changing when you can blip the throttle in between gears :thumbsup:
Hope thats not going to get the arguement of manual v auto started again :rofl:
