I do love how this board will rip to shreds an ebay advert. Final Edition seems to be like a rag to a bull here....As said the spec wasn't particularly good apart from nice wheels and LOUD interior.

There's a few variants in the range. I had an early model one and apart from lush carpets, it was a bit basic, still fun to drive. The Face lift model came in and improved a fair amount of things. Updating the look, adding front parking sensors and a much better sat-nav stereo in the double width format. Reasonably easy to change too. There's also a later model variant that brought in the dog leg on the gearbox which is sport mode for a little bit more umph, though with kick down working i'm not sure the need of it (also worth checking it's enabled as a lot were not, easy twist switch under the gas pedal).

I had gearbox issues with the PF at ~120k despite servicing! My FL however hit ~230k without touching the gearbox !!!

Great cars, lots of road presence and they really don't act like big cars, apart from parking! So light and positive.

I also had LPG on my FL. That would do over 32mpg on LPG. Mid 20s on petrol. PRINS multipoint system and on a big engine you didn't notice much difference between the two and you always had petrol if you wanted to boot it!
