Well after much thought and a number of test drives she settled on a Turismo 165 bhp. The comp was excellent and thrilling to drive, but it was *so* firm in the suspension she thought it would be too much to commute in. The Turismo model offered a few creature comforts like parking sensors and leather, with 165 bhp but without the comps rock hard suspension. It has a very old skool feel to it, the turbo kick is much like the Coupes, where it sort of swells as the torque builds then really come on song around 3krpm, which I prefer vs the modern turbo approach of linear power delivery. The exhaust sounds really great, even for a 1.4T, and it in red it really draws attention. She is over the moon with the purchase and thoroughly enjoys driving it day to day. It is certainly a car I'm happy to 'borrow' to nip to the shops in

Tim as you are a member you can get access to the affinity scheme - which helps with the finance Does that apply to used cars too? Thought it was only brand new? Lee

I've had my 2012 T Jet for a couple of years - bought with 43k on the clock now on 55k. Pearly white - looks really good.
No problems apart from a new battery.
A couple of weeks ago I test drove a 2015 Comp and thought it was superb compared to mine - much better ride and more torque - everything felt much 'better'. The seats are fantastic.
I'm seriously considering it - I like the new green colour so may consider a new one on one of those finance schemes.
If in doubt go for it!! Tim as you are a member you can get access to the affinity scheme - which helps with the finance Thanks very much Chris - I didn't realise this was still going!
