....and it's very nice indeed.

No pictures as yet but it looks much the same as any other silver octy II.

I think I'll need to sit down for a while with the manual to find all the gadgets and cubbyholes on it but so far I'm impressed.

I got 50mpg on the way to work which was as good as I could have hoped for and it's a good bit quicker than it's predecessor.

Oh , and the stereo's not bad at all either.

It was 3 weeks from signing the paperwork to driving away , but it was a car that was already in the UK. It's not a bad length of time to wait at all , but it just gets annoying when you are told it will arrive on a set date that keeps getting pushed back.

The car itself is excellent though.

160Bhp, really? I thought it felt quicker than 140.

Glad you got your car at last Mr Z, they are well worth the wait.
