If I do make it my car won't be very clean as am at Oulton Park on the Friday.

14 possible attendees and 7 confirmed so far, across the two forums. If you can avoid it, please don't arrive until 1pm as the staff will be busy clearing the car park to allow us to park together. Many thanks.

I was going to try Oulton Park but I have to go to a wedding instead 😕. Hope the weather holds out for you.

Afternoon all, I will be heading down from the Reading area so if anyone is wanting to meet along the drive down and have a small convoy, send me a message! Been posting on the other forum only up until now. (Registration issues) Regards, SS

Whose going to be that person I bet?

Ok sounds great, but I won’t be there until about 2:30 as working until 1pm.... Save me a space please [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

In today's winter sun.

None of the cars have an auto dimming mirror - it was on the spec sheet but they've never even been an option. If you get leather seats, they will be heated - heating was standard on all leather and leather/alcantara seats. I wouldn't bother with the satnav. The whole head unit is dated, to say the least; if you really want built-in nav then buy a decent aftermarket head unit with it built in. Auto Vs manual: the auto is an old-school torque converter, I think they claimed it had the fastest torque converter shift in the world at launch, most other autos are DCT these days so if you're used to those it may feel slower to shift but by all accounts it's not too bad. The manual can be difficult to get into 2nd when cold; most owners report some degree of difficulty. It can apparently be improved with a change to different oil in the box. I haven't had that done, but I do have an aftermarket shift spring and an insert for the gearbox mount. Those improve the 2nd gear a little, and give a very sweet gearchange (some complain about a slight increase in noise from the mount). Very cheap upgrades, and excellent value.

Everyone with a manual will say it's better. All those with an auto will try to convince you that it's brilliant. There aren't many naturally aspirated RWD manual coupes you can buy these days. Make the most of a manual gearbox whilst you still can. The auto removes a level of involvement that you get with the manual.
