After such a long gestation including the "I might order soon but..." that seemed to drag on forever it's great (and not unexpected) that your relationship with the latest black beast in your life has hit the ground running!
A fabulous car (as mass produced family hatchbacks go) and a very deserving and appreciative owner, happy days Mademoiselle B!
Now Mr Ex, the "I might order...." phase only really lasted a mere 3 months, and it was more a "when will I order....", so no embellishing the truth
And well what are forums for but talking about cars we have, might buy, wish we'd never bought and/or will never buy again!
It might have been less predictable and more entertaining after all this time for me to say I really don't like the R. But it would be untrue. So I unashamedly and unapologetically sing it's praises to the rooftops because that's what I think (with some minor exceptions).
I do very much appreciate being able to have a great hot hatch. I'm really no more more deserving than any other owner, but it's very nice of you to say so.
