New owner - nearly. 3 days to go!
« on: September 18, 2011, 11:13:47 AM »
Pick up my late 2008 Deep Sapphire Blue Pearl Jazz EX on Wednesday 21st Sept. Can't wait. (We go on a driving holiday to Northumberland two days later!)

It has all the toys except the heated leather seats that come in the range-topping EXL - and built in satnav, which I didn't want anyway. I prefer to be able to upgrade using a separate plug-in type. It does have the 'Premium upgrade' pack though - stainless sill step covers, rigid moulded mud flaps and body coloured side rubbing strips. (I didn't realise these were options until after I'd bought the car )

The jury's out on the 16" alloys. They look great but it's too early to say whether they will make the ride harsher - but since I haven't tried one with 15" alloys will I ever know?

Anyway, glad to have found the forum. It's always good to be able to get in touch with fellow owners and read about their cars and driving experiences.

Hello and welcome.

Where abouts are you from?

I live in Newcastle and have my standard 15" ES alloys in the garage and would do a swap with your 16" if you're interested  ;D

Chesterfield - but it's a bit early to say whether we can live with the 16's or would prefer the 15's. Also, the car's coming with two brand new and two almost new (barely scrubbed in) tyres so I wasn't planning on chnging them just yet.

A good thought though  ;)

A bit early in the ownership cycle. Not even had it 24hrs yet - but I'm loving it already - but see my other posts.

Already made the mistake of trying to start the car when the engine was already running  :-[

As I said elsewhere - it's S-O-O-O quiet!
