I have to say i really liked the car with the exception of the engine which didn't match the style of the car - during the week we drove about 800 miles in it in France and it was an impressive machine.
No hint of scuttle shale or rattles with the hood down and a brilliant wide screen nav system . the only thing i thought was that it didn't feel particularly rear wheel drive until pushed in the bends . The DCT box was well suited to the
We even got the chance to drive Route de Napoleon from Dignes to Grasse - which is a very fine road indeed.
I would have thought one of these in 235 spec would be a great car for the Zed Owner who needs some rear seats but doesn't want to loose the folding fabric roof.
