General Comments
So much style it's awsome! Smooth lines with no washer jets on top of the bonnet, one door lock (drivers) and the aerial built into the rear screen. Even the tailpipe is hidden behind the rear valance for that super smooth look.
Press the remote key and try the comfortable seats. See the array of standard equipment other manufacturers charge a fortune for. Dashboard layout is clear, & functional (it is German) and the digital display lights up red. Once the lights are turned on so does every switch, vent control and handle the effect is stunning at night.
Once started you can hardly hear the engine above the fan for the climate control but accelerate and you certainly feel it as the turbo smoothly kicks in. I said smooth again didn't I? That sums this car up perfectly!
