Sporty but conservative.

Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No

£3,000

July 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
No. After being sold the car with full MOT and service, I discovered that the oil level wasn't even registering on the dipstick, there was a puncture in the front passenger side tyre, and the brakes were worn to nothing.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I loved my first coupe so much, I bought another one!
What was the dealer like?
Horrible.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives like a dream, powerful, fast and smooth. Comfortable over long distance. I preferred the heavier, stiffer clutch on the gen 1 Coupes but really I have no complaints about this model.
What's it like to park?
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The handbrake cable and brakes needed replacing, other than that she's sound.
What's most practical about your car?
This is not a practical car, she's a beautiful car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Everything! There are some very cool gadgets on this car; I particularly like the dials measuring the torque, fuel consumption and battery power. She has cruise control, but I've never used it.
