Love mine mate, had it since August.

Mines a 53 plate 6 speeder, that had done 89k when I bought it.

Just a pair of tyres is all I've had to put on it, doing around 26 mpg on average.

I would have one again and recommend them to anyone

Find a good tyre supplier !!!!

Mine went through tyres like nobodys business ! Did keep it going most of the time and drove it like it should be driven, loved every minute of it and would gladly have another one. Only problem i ever had in 25k miles was the wiring for the rear upstream hego sensor rubbed through on the bulkhead and put the MIL on, easy repair though by fitting a new sensor and repositioning the wiring so it doesn't happen again.

Really smooth powerfull cars and was far too easy to do silly speeds without realising how fast you are actuall going !!!


If i was to have another one i would probably go for the TDCi version next time.


Seen quite a few of the petrol one's for sale around the 3500-4000 range, mate of mine just bought a TDCi one on an 05 plate for 5500 which was an absolute steal !!!

Fantastic car; I would love one. My friend has one and they are comfy, handle excellent and we had 161mph out of it on the AutoBahn after driving to the Nurburgring on our way home.

Sunroof
Xenons
Rear heated Seats
Full size spare
Sat nav
Heavy duty battery
Bluetooth
Baby seat things

Thats about it

Nice one on the 4 door saloon, they look much better than the other models imo
it has xenons im not sure about rear heated seats, ill find out if i get some lucky lady in the back

The standard spec on them is amazing, mine hasn't got a sunroof
I love my heated seats though

I know the 6 speeders have options of rear park sensors, sat nav, xenon lights, red leather interior, Performance Blue paint was also an extra

I've not regretted buying mine, I wanted a saloon but couldn't find one at the time

Enjoy it matey

I've got an ST TDCI, exactly the same looks and all the kit (although I don't know whether you can get the full leather on the diesel) but twice the miles per gallon, and still extremely torquey.
