Hi, thanks for your answer, this is what I wanted to hear, someone who has changed!
I did go to buy one as I said earlier but was disappointed in the performance through the gears as compared to Swiper. It might be me, who knows but in every gear I did feel that "void" for a second, maybe I would get used to it, and the supercharger whine is something else of course. I did love the car some of the new changes are really good and I it felt really punchy.
To me it felt a little lighter on the steering but every car is different.
I am glad you are happy with your new car, wish I could afford to keep Swiper and get a new one as well!
