Hi Tony, don’t know how important they are to you but it’s not got heated seats :?
I’m not sure but they could be the style 296 wheels which are infamous for cracking :o
Apart from that it looks great! :thumbsup:

I like that car.
I'd be inclined to hold out for heated seats though, just my opinion. They are very nice when the roof is down on a cold day or even on a cool summer morning and are a key thing folks look for as an option.

I think you need to see it in the flesh to make a real judgement .

I saw one in Germany last year and can honestly say it caught my eye. It looked a very attractive colour in the sunshine and suited the car very nicely - but would i have been brave enough to buy it....? Jury’s out!

never really considered a 35i - do they cost substantially more to maintain than a 30i ? Tax is only a few quid more :D

I can’t see any reason why they should cost more - oil, filters, fluids - oh and the dealers mark up!!!

So I bought this today no it has no heated seats no biggie for me no sat nav either
But extended white leather and wood :)
But does have only 2 keepers a big history file has had some big jobs done rear coil springs and the high pressure fuel pump sorted.Along with recent service carried out.
The colour is stunning the car was fully clayed and polished upon arrival and looked amazing in the sun.The chap in his 50s swapped to a very very nice Porsche 918 boxster and was someone of a car nut.
Also 2 new rear tyres good discs and pads and 1 cracked alloy wheel sorted all in all a very good car for the summer that I intend to use it for.
