Thumbs up Demo car

Had a very interesting hour in 'Snows' of Portsmouths demo car (actually the saleman took out the sold sign before we took it) poor owner. Anyway it had all the usual gizmos leather seats and the biggest wheels and tyres. It held the road like my miglia on slicks but!!! 115bhp? well I thought it was disappointing even when floored in all the gears it was somewhat lacking in get up and go! even with 5000 miles on the clock.Are the tyres too big and sticky or is it just very heavy!!! Mine will have the eight spoke 175's until they need replacing then I'll get some bigger ones and not the run flat variety. It was a bit plasticy inside and has anyone hit the dashboard hard ? very flimsy indeed. Um! I wouls say the car is not upto BMW standard but above Rover is that fair? I have ordered one ready in july so we'll see!

I think you will be pleasantly suprised when you get your car. They are quite quick and superbly built.
