Enthusiast. This isnt the type of car that anyone goes and buys, as its not suitable for everyone.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
After asking what it is, they like it, even more so after they've rode shotgun round a few B-roads.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Superb. Handling is spot on and has great feel and poise, engine just revs and revs, great power with an even better noise. Comfortable Recaro seats, though not the best car for really long journeys, due to lack of creature comforts, and a rather noisy interior.
What's it like to park?
No harder than any other car to be honest.

Living with it

Nothing as of yet, apart from sorting out the tranfer papers!

Being a coupe it isnt going to be that practical, though the boot is a good size and 2 can squezze into the back without too much hassle.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
That beast under the bonnet! defineatly the car's defining feature.
