I'm not fussed on colour (or lumbar support) I just want a seat that doesn't have a lump of metal pressing against my back ..... I'll prob get the 405 seat to try it.
I think the engine is fine, I was pleasantly surprised at how not bad it was to start with, and it keeps up fine on the motorway etc. I've no idea about the red line, as I have non-working analog clock where the rev counter should be
It's just the lack of acceleration from the n/a diesel I'm not keen on. The car's quite good on A-roads and places where I don't need to slow down much, but as said overtaking takes more care and a bit more planning. I do go down to Milton Keynes a bit, and I'd be pulling (whats left of my) hair out after a few roundabouts.
For now the car will be my back-up daily and tat hauler, I have a boring vw tdi for daily use, but I'll be keeping an eye out for a turbo dizzler bx as I do quite like the car.
