The car has massage seats as standard lol bizarre!

Tbh the car has almost too much tech, it is quite over whelming. I just turn the main screen off when i drive it as the dash does it all.

I cannot explain how stupidly fast the car is. Quite like it so far.

Nice barge, they look very sleek these, those pics do in no justice lol, I always remember wiping the smirk off a super smug t**t in one of these in the megane, they fair shift, a mates been banging on about getting an rs5, for a while now, think he's settling for an s5 though due to price.

349bhp, 369lb ft and the potential for 0-62mph in less than five seconds.
Fair play @seb lovely car.

Nice barge but not knowing the stats I expected much more than this. That's pretty much on par with my Focus...and mine feels a very very long way from rocket ship pace. Quick though, plenty quick enough.

Enjoy it! Tech aplenty!

Yeah they are a bit of a steal for what they are imo.

Welcome to the S club.

I think anything with sub 5 0-60 and the instant power it has is rocket ship territory imo. Wasn't long ago something sub 5 seconds was "supercar" territory. Now it is the norm for most big engined family cars!

A lot of it is torque as well. Naturally aspirated engines are nice but they simply don't have the shove of a turbo lump. Torque wise you're pushing pretty much the same as an F430.

I was helping someone calculate the 0-60 of one of these for his degree recently.

Looks great. Seeing loads of these atm, are they knocking out decent deals?

It is possible that you may win the nobel peace prize for the worst photos ever taken of a car.

Very nice, mind you.

Lol I was gonna post exact same thing, and then posts them as attachments ffs!

Exactly! I have to punch myself when I think about the wall poster cars from my youth that my family hatchback would now out perform. Madness.

This is so true, what used to be staggering performance is now slow compared to any slightly tweaked turbo'd car.

Crazy how things have moved on. God i remember when xr2's/xr3i's where "apparently" quick.

Move on another 25 years, the new model nissan micra will be doing the quarter mile in 3 seconds straight from the factory.

That's a barge! The new ones are very good cars. The original 5 was a bit meh!

Brilliant judge Seb. We miss you. Roy misses your perfectly specced 197 also.
