Finally got the Mazda's replacement this week.

I can wack some more up at request.....
Kind of bored of looking at it already..... BUT, and it's a big but. I am amazed with everything else. Being inside it is just simply perfect and even now I just want to get back in it and give it a spank.
Engine sounds like a grunty petrol from the cabin and outside it's pretty damn quiet. The ADC and ACC works soooo much better than expected with the DSG box. Did a 350 mile round trip yesterday and barely had to touch a pedal!
Feels like a much bigger car inside, drives however you want it to, economically, almost automatically, sporty, quietly. Love the driving modes which allows you to adjust steering weight. Everybody I have taken out for a spin in it so far has been very impressed with it.
For what it is, this thing shifts.. would write more but I think I'm going to have to pop to a shop now that's nowhere near my house to pick up something I don't need.
