Well, I can't really think what to say at this point... the car was everything I expected or had been lead to believe... although I was a little disappointed that the MD/MP3 player was not fitted as standard and the UK cars do not have cruise...

Otherwise, I'd have to say that the car felt very planted on the road and VERY precise... but never jittery...

A little road noise was evident and the suspention was very much that of a sportscar, although somehow not intrusive... it just felt "right"..

The engine is incredible... pulling well at much lower revs than you'd expect... and the sound was very satisfying, if totally unlike a piston engine... having said that, it's almost inaudible while cruising... even at 7K+ rpm's Stick your foot down though and above 7K it has a battle cry which I will definitely come to love!. I heard the "change up" buzzer, but only because I knew that it was there... had I not known then I would not have heard it... (I was enjoying the sound of the engine too much... ) but the rev counter is right there and the needle approching the top draws your attention nicely.

Any more ... well you'll have to ask, I'm still in shock, only heard about this at the last minute.

well done. What was the interior like quality-wise? It would be useful if you could say what your current car is, to help with the comparison!

This interior seemed quite good (similar quality I suppose to the Honda Accord which I had until recently)... however I did think that the covers to the various cubbies in the transmission tunnel were a good deal more flimsy than the rest of the dash etc...

I have to admit that I didn't have time to pay a huge ammount of attention to the rest of the car... My time in it was limited. I sat in the back, and it was bigger than you'd imagine... and I fiddled for a while, but ultimately I want a rotary, and this is the only game in town... I was more interested if it drives well... I wasn't disappointed by anything I saw... (or heard).

BlueAdept, I thoguht that the cubbies in the centre transmission strut were MUCH better quality than the ones seen ni the blue pre-prod @ Motorexpo or the preview days.

Also, apparently on the Titanium, there was an extra cubby at the back which Graham from T W Whites in Milford said that he didn't think was standard, which is a shame as its one where kids on the back could store things (albeit fairly small things - but still bigger than the celery stores in the Vauxhall that Clarkson reviewed!)

Well, the origin of these cars was a little unclear, as the first ship of production cars has yet to arrive... perhaps these are early production test versions... I have no complaints really...
