My first few weeks of ownership and I got to say I love it got the car from the car people in Manchester. Yeah the car tax is stupid it's going to cost me a arm and a leg to run it but you only live once so what the hell. Here is a couple of pics. Has you can see from pic sits low which I love but have to reverse onto my drive so I don't scrape the splitter off .

Blacks were it's at. Nice man yeah tax may be more a month than insurance is but that giggle and grin that spreads across your face when boost kicks in makes it all worth it.

A lot find that the extra road tax is offset by the cheaper than usual insurance for a performance hatch.
