davwanUK is on a distinguished road
Thanks Delano!!!
Yeah I kind thought the active head restaints were standard and yes I did hear "mixed" things about the auto. Personally, all this electronic fiddling, can be more invasive then helpful, especially things like the hand brake.

Must admit first try of the car with the handbrake - couldn't tell if it was on/off till I stamped on the gas - must have burned a litre of fuel, but it was probably worth it watching the sales rep look at me in horror, constantly asking am I going to be alright

Must admit black paint does need that Supaguard, not sure on the clear bra though, will have a think.

Fuel economy is a concern - but hey if I can get 27/28mpg I will be happy, would never say I was ever light footed, but hopefully its better then the 3.0Si I took out, a stint around central London in rush hour, then a blast up the A13 and back, was averaging 19mpg, and the tank fell from 1/2 tank to a 1/4......round trip 30miles if that?

Oh yeah - one dubious thing, flicked the wipers, and the front ones decided to stick in the up right position, has anyone had any experience of this, or was it just a fluke. First car in 20yrs where the wipers packed in, good job it wasn't raining, just didn't expect it on a £50k car thats all

Yes will post piccies as soon as I get it
