yes
but its the way he says it drives, and how it compares it to the MK1 that gives you a proper interpretation of what it can do
they had the stig in the GT, and he finished up by saying any car that can make an average driver keep up with the stig in a supercar must be a bit special

I had a quick scan through, but it looks like a good review/write-up.
Might nip out and buy it.

That is ugly and it doesn't even look aggressive, I've seen Citroen 2CV's that look more aggressive.

You'll probably get your hands on a 2nd hand one before you'd get a new one.
Only problem is, you won't get finance on a 2nd hand one.

Looks girly at the front but that's just my opinion.

You must know some odd girly girls...
I can't think of a more butch looking car at the moment. Other than a VXR8 maybe.

To me that just does not look butch at all, its the lights they make it look camp, but again that's just my opinion.

Like I said it looks meaner than anything from the front, except maybe an RS6. It's the view from anywhere else I have a problem with.

Blues my 3rd choice.
Ive narrowed it down to White with leather interior or Green with cloth interior...............If I proceed to order, which im very tempted to do with the flock of good reviews its getting.

No way I'd spend that much money on a car and plump for a cloth interior  Would of thought leather would be standard

Its only the sides that are trimmed cloth/leather. The main seat centre is alcantara or whatever its called. I think the the green looks good with the matching recaro's :\
White/Blue need leather because the blue trimmed seats look gash!!
Plus not ticking all the options keeps the price down.
