Hiya - take a note of Finisterre's comments - I've got the 2.0i Facelift Sport and I can vouch for his comments about the ride, costs and performance. Mind you when you're in the mood and on the right road the 18in (non runflats!) are wonderful and worth every penny - when you're not you'll know about it. Still - looks brilliant sat outside! Does it make you smile a lot as well?!
If you love the car you'll love the forum! Welcome!
P.S. Some of us love the whippy and don't want a stubby!
