only managed test drive the 1.8
much more refined than my old 106
nicer to drive, steering is easier

Don't believe everything that you read on the internet. They don't even make a 2 litre coupe, its a 2.2, and its half a second quicker. The 1.8 is close because its geared shorter, but its not faster.

can image it would be slower than the 2.2 and it certainly feels slower than my 106 but I am more than happy with it. Its no slouch!
mainly city driving day to day then long trips around country to supply computer systems, for both of these car is great IMO

interior is mint, but also the gold ones with black leather and white inserts look awesome
there was gold one with leather that was 2.2 but was over 1k more and couldn't justify it

I love the interior. More snug than the full leather and less of a pain to keep clean than the white alcantara.

yeah the white alcantara was spotless in the gold one I looked at but can imagine it would of been hard work keep it that way
