Not sure how we are supposed to comment on it as there is no link on the article:

Looks very smart to me, I didn't even know these were available as a manual. I'd happily smoke around in it.

pi55 yellow lamps aside, still looks a smart design. But 204 BHP from a 2.5 V6 sounds a bit asthmatic, the r32 managed a bit more for example

Come on Shed, what's going on?
Has the Postmistress dragged you away from your laptop to give her a guided tour or the back seats of the Lexus?

If I remember correctly, as was tempted by one of these some time ago, the manual crept into the very high tax band whilst the auto managed to stay reasonable.

Sangria Shed is an image none of us need...

FiL had the dreaded diesel one as company car and he bought it on retirement. IIRC it was up to about 200k miles when he sold it, never any issues.

I would struggle with the tax and mpg though...

I always preferred the first generation, but I do like that this has the manual gearbox though.
