Ahhh, you prefer the full steering and nose heavy under steer :wink:

As an everyday car, that would be absolutely spot on for me, just a shame I don't have 44K to spend on it.

We can convince DDtB that it would be far better than the train for his commute, Future Dave will buy it for him, and in a year's time when he spots the next shiny thing, he will sell it to you cheap :thumbsup
