Hello Paul,

Many thanks for the response. Your car sounds like a really nice example, but my preference is the 3.0 version.

Regards,

Bill

Does it have to be an auto? - mine is the 3.0si 68k in black with red heated seats but it’s a manual!

It's got to be Auto due to my left foot being quite weak and I cannot cope with the weight of the Manual Clutch.

Still looking for the right car.

Can I ask why the preference for the face lift version please?. Like a previous responder I have a car I had not intended selling but as in most things it is a commodity. My Z is a merlot red 53 plate with 42k. If you look on my post of 22 October you will see image and a list of work done this year.

Cheers

The reason why I want an SI, is because I prefer the updated design of the car and the increased engine power. Not forgetting the Seats in my opinion are a lot nicer to sit in, having previously owned a 2004 3.0 SE many years ago.

Both are great cars although they are both getting quite old now, but it's a matter of personal taste.

Thanks Griffnut

I know what you mean regarding the upgrades although personally I didn’t find the increased power that useable in normal driving when I drove a 2007 model. I agree the SE seats are less than grippy when you want to use the performance though. It’s a good job we have choices and are allowed personal opinions, it would be a dreary world otherwise.

Good luck with your search

Many thanks for your input, totally agree about freedom of choice and opinions.

It does seem rather hard to track down the right car though. My excuse is that I am perhaps too fussy. I am hoping to use the car for touring in a relaxed manner, press the button and the roof goes down on a warm sunny day!

The search goes on, perhaps there is the ideal car tucked away in someones garage for the Winter?

I would like to hear from them.
