Incredible...
The power is the biggie, much more torque, makes it more refined and effortless for "mooching about" and for press on driving a lot more rewarding. Its a genuine "thrilling" car to drive and gives a buzz over the twisties.
The sports seats are a lot better, more supportive. The wheel buttons very good for press on driving as both hands ALWAYS on wheel. Even though its an automatic, I do like to take control of what its doing.
The look, IMHO looks lots nicer the sport, the wheels set it off as do the tinted windows. I am a young fella so it may not be to all tastes.
The only downer I have is the steering and its variable assistance, when going at speed or round a tight corner it weightens up, whereas the old car had a constant level of power assitance so the steering always felt the same. I am sure I will get used to it. The wheel itself is smaller and nicer to use.
All in all, IMHO it was worth the money, for me, this car. Its put a massive grin on my face (but not that I was unhappy with the last car).
You should really consider one as a future car.
