Love it.
Quick comparison to the 197?
The interior is smarter, and this time I went for the upgraded stereo with bluetooth so far better than the stuck on parrot which kept falling off, and the ipod links up seamlessley!
The biggest issue with the 197 was the cold start and this has disappeared! The engine is far smoother and the gear box feels miles better, a nice clunk as it slots into place, even the wife thinks the gearbox is better!
I went for the toys which I missed on the 197 like folding mirrors, now these are great because in my street you have to fold them in, and it was such an arse getting in the car, then having to get out again to pull the mirrors out again!
This time the car comes with auto lights and wipers as standard, along with climate control which were all optional on my '08 197.
The beep when you hit the rev limiter is great too. Previously in hard driving situations in 197 you had to keep taking your eyes off the road to check where you were in the revs, now it beeps so you can keep eyes on the road, this is far safer and prevents you from over revving and cutting the engine.
Plus I love the wheels and anthracite, looks smart in my opinion, but each to their own of course.
And dont get one without the cup pack. At £400'ish its crazy not too!
Only done 800 miles so will let you know more at 2-3K.
