and deep pockets for the fuel. Mine was doing about 13 mpg on average, but when I was booting it I found this easily dropped into single figures. The problem arose when i was using it everyday for A to B stuff along the motorways. It became very expensive to run.
however, what a weapon, well worth getting one, especially at current prices. its great value for money. nailing the throttle coming off slip roads its simply stupidly fast.

Fuel tank range.........oh, dear - it feels like about 35 minutes.
Best bits - engine and shove above 6,000rpm.
Worst bits - depreciation and sounds like a 320D when you start it up.
Upgraded stereo is important - the standard one is pants.
Also, I can't help but feel it's a little like Michael Schumacher. So good at everything it almost becomes bland.
Or is that just me being too picky?...

questions...
Can I extend the warranty?Yes, but only one year at a time and has to be under 100k miles. Do not own one of these without a warranty unless you like gambling and have £10k lying around just in case!
How long does a tank of fuel last on a cruise?
Depends how you drive - I once got 300 out of a tank, but generally with normal driving nearer 200. Or 120 if hooning around the Brecon Beacons with your PH mates!
The worse point about the car?
See above re fuel! Gearbox can be notchy around town, but when you adapt it's fine.
The best point?
The engine is sublime and the gearbox when pushing on is brilliant...
Any toys on it that are recommend?
Logic7 stereo is a must - preferably with aux input, active seats, rear sun-glass, bluetooth
I have just completed 1500 miles in mine (Scotish highlands and back) I saw 26.1 mpg on the way up and averaged 25.2mpg for the whole trip. We saw about 350m a tank, It was a absolute please and i loved every min of the trip. Get one they are quite frankly the best car you can get for £15k...
