Well i Picked up my dooper yesterday. got up nice and early and got tho the dealer at 9am yep did not even give the sales man a chance to get his coffee

so after all the paper work was done and my begging for a few goodies i drove it home and then to the shop and around the mountains/ hills ..........

I moved up from a One D and i know its early days yet but I think the handling was a bit better in the ONE. but as soon as its run in i will be able to make a better comparison what i do like though is the extra punch even at low revs.

i cant post pix for some reason so ill try later

Car looks great. Hopefully you have taken the awful sticker out of the back window by now!?

zwartsj · Jul 25th, 2007, 11:10 AM

I will let you know I have taken the sticker out of the back window. see I had to stop for ice-cream and while I was waiting for every one to eat up (no eating in the new car

) I removed it.

Its nearly run in now but I can confirm from another owner that the back kicks a bit when you go around a corner a bit aggressively. Other than that I have no complaints. no rattles either
