I’m told they pessimisticaly spec them as 580 but they all make 600.
Not only was the performance fantastic but it was delivered in a very refined and drama free manner. I’m sure the electronics keep it feeling that way.

Now the 340 in my 35is will feel quite limp wristed by comparison.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

I’d love one, but couldn’t deal with the £50k depreciation after 2 years motoring.

Isn’t that the problem though? Makes it feel detached and un-involving.

It felt very grown up and poised - I loved it and it felt very special to me.
The cars ability to cover the ground at speed was unbelievable - I think it would knock my 35is into a cocked hat.

I could really fancy one. :thumbsup:
