How you finding the GTA mate?

Hiya - that post surprised me

Love it, just spent the last 2 hours cleaning it. Love the look, style, handling (although a bit too much torque steer) and particularly the interior. Done 8500 miles so far without a hitch. Even the fuel comsumption is good - average about 27mpg this time of year (traffic) with 30mpg over summer. Love the way @ 4000rpm the engine note changes and it takes off

Few niggles: 1) You can't leave the headlights/sidelights on without the ignition, 2) keep switching the rear fog lights on by mistake, presumably by catching the button with my thumb when releasing the hand brake, 3) Climate control is a bit temperamental.

Before Xmas some muppet at work (unknown) cracked the rear bumper in one corner and crazed the paintwork. Annoying, but doesn't show too bad.

Been looking at reviews of the 3.2 V6 GT... nice

Isn't it like most other Fiat group cars?
Generally there's a small button on the ignition barrel that you press to enable turning the ignition off past "stop". This turns on the parking lights.

Well b*gger me, so there is - just popped out to have a look. Thanks
