Very happy with her indeed. Just picked up today - 2.0L Sport in Highland Green & black leather. She's had the Eibachs put on but she's only done 50 miles or so, so they've not fully settled yet.
Either way I'm made up to finally have my first RWD car and the drive and handling is just fantastic.

Very nice Sir ! But riding a teeny bit high maybe ? Are you expecting her to settle a bit lower ?Alfahorn said:
looks great, however tell me that was a pre-reg car? Otherwise I've got to ask why you didn't wait 24 hours for an 09 plate?
Because I'm impatient! 
Also with a facelift model out next month I don't think it'll make a hoot of difference in 3 years time, and also I don't particularly care about the plate that the cars carrying.But basically because I wanted it this weekend!
In truth it was closer to £15k. It looked to be about £22k list with the boxes ticked (aircon/Bose/Eibachs), either way I'm still pleased and comfortable with it.
As for the roof - yup it's only up when it's wet and as for am I enjoying it? Oh yes, although the squirrelly traction control light will hopefully calm down once it's had it's alignment in a few weeks time.
Dynamically very different to my previous cars (of course it's RWD!) so am getting used to how that behaves etc. Lots to learn still but having great fun doing so!
