Summary
What does this car say about you?
My friends tell me: "closet rebel"...!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love it - passengers are cossetted by the comfortable seats - and fellow drivers are very jeaous by the Jeckel & Hyde behaviour.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, no doubt. But get the ECU remapped. Trust me, it redefines this car.
What are you likely to buy next?
I'm mulling over the Jaguar XF-R...

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£3,500
When did you buy the car?
December 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Private seller - really friendly guy and he was willing to negotiate. My friends told me I have the bargain of the year...
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I wanted the right blend of refinement, driving fun/handling, reliability and value for money. The Sport 2.3 (6) reviews hit the spot.
What was the dealer like?

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
She makes me grin every time. Especially when working the engine. Last week, on a B-road, I came into a 30mph tight bend at 60mph. The car cornered on rails and she mocked me for not trying harder... |She is a truly magnificent beast.
What's it like to park?
Stupidly easy - I was concerned at the lack of parking sensors on the Sport - but the rear visibility (and ease of judging the car's size) means that the car is so easy to park in tight spaces.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing
What's most practical about your car?
Comfort on regular motorway driving. I went for the full leather option; this is the first car where I don't feel tired and sore after a 400 mile trip. Boot capacity is just incredible.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The remapped ECU...
