VX220 turbo - where can I test drive one ?!

[rosso rebel]

I test drove a VX220 NA today, and would like to test drive a VXT but can't find a dealer locally that has one in stock. I live in Northampton, and if you know of dealership who has one i'd really like to know......

I've been looking at Elise's for a while, and thought I ought to test drive a VX for comparison and really liked it. It will be a daily drive in replacement of a MINI Cooper S. I also have a girly question about the boot...(sorry!) The Elise boot continues into the wings at the side, but the VX doesn't seem to do this - can this space be accessed for storage?

Thanks for you help

Thanks for your help.


I'll join up to the Vx220 forum and post.

MK doesn't have one in (but I did testdrive the VX220 in the Lotus dealer next door!) but I will call the others tomorrow - cheers

I have registered with vx220.org.uk, but can't post anything...... who should I email to sort this out?

Cheers

Joe Turbo - Thanks i've emailed them and i'm now sorted - thank you. Which exhaust are you going for?

Turboman - Thanks, i'll give that site a go too!

Just emptied out all the junk from my Mini and hoovered it out (My other half will have a heart attack!!) ready for part X price for the VXR tomorrow. I've also booked in a test drive of a new VXT which is just over £19k which seems a pretty good price. Has any-one else seen a new / pre-registered VXT any cheaper?

Test drove the VXR and VXT on Saturday, and totally fell in love with the VXT (In Black) and so after that and the negotiations between my other half and the dealer (I was rubbish as I realllyyyy wanted the car!) We will be picking up the new VXT on Friday. Wahoo!

I'm not too concerned about buying a 'new' one as it still has nearly 3 years of warranty on it.

Is it really only Monday ?!

Well done Clair, look forward to seeing the new toy next time you're down in this neck of the woods.

Thanks Rob, might take it next weekend to the Goodwood Skid Pan day.

I think we're going to run it in a bit first (Which, to be honest won't take long as we've already done over 800 miles in a week, and we have lots of events planned this year), and then start off with a stage I, and then take it from there.

Absolutely loving the car - it's great fun
