No way would I have been doing that speed, especially seeing as I was follwoing the wife home, although I did have to catch up with her on a couple of occasions (wink, wink)

Pics to come soon, gotta collect my son from work, he doesn't want picking up in the Tucson!!!!

Here are the first few pics after getting home. Only things that I have done so far are removed the dealership number plate surrounds and debadged to boot. The badge pulled right off only using my finger nails and no glue left behind, then again it is 30C in Cairns today, gotta love winter!

It's a bit dusty and plenty of bug splatters so will be getting a decent wash and wax in the morning.

Such a deep blue, the iPad doesn't really capture it.

No badge boot lid.

Late afternoon sun shows off the colour well. (just realised you can see my poor Barina hiding in the background crying its heart out, that was my previous DD, my son has scored that for his 16th birthday, if he gets his L's that is)

Fist impressions after 200+ km on the highway.
Not easy to keep under 4k rpm, you just want to fang it.
Flappy paddle gearbox - very smooth and lightening fast.
Driving position - excellent although right shoulder blind spot is easily missed. Fortunately I always do a double take before maneuvering.
Comfort - considering it was boring highway k's that I was covering and thought that it might be a bit bumpy it was a very comfortable ride. My right leg did start to ache at the hip towards the end of the journey but I think that was more to do with not being used to such a low car and having my leg stretched out so much.
Stereo - I know the audiophiles don't like it but it was more than sufficient for me. The dealer bluetoothed my phone to the stereo for me and imported all my contacts before we left the dealership and it was sufficiently easy to operate whilst in motion.

My son was delighted when I picked him up from work, he first comment was though, it's a bit small and so low to the ground. Kids, who'd have them.

Never even noticed, would have saved myself $400 if I'd known before I ordered my personalised plates.

Also remember to not keep the same driving pattern and add some variation. Don't keep to same speed and rpm for too long.
