Bought this car in southampton 2 weeks ago but only just got a chance to get over for it and get it home....fantastic bit of kit. I wasn't specifically looking for the performance pack plus, the most important thing was the lsd but the kit is nice giving it 487 hp/alcantara wheel/big brakes and a couple of bits of carbon fibre here and there. Came with the 18's surprisingly which was a no cost option and apparently ride better, look ok and a bit different to most which are on the 19" multi spoke's.
Drives very well, huge torque from low down, best noise I've heard from a standard exhaust, very responsive gearbox that on manual mode will literally let you bounce off the limiter without changing for you and also blips the throttle on downshifts. Looked at m3's and rs4's also but they just seemed a little flat in comparison and I don't do any track work. Fuel consumption average 22 so far over 600 miles.
Overall anyone considering on of these I'd say go for it esp at the price level they are at now...I had a few american muscle cars when I was younger and this is the closest thing to that available in family friendly form, a proper engine with a proper soundtrack
