I definitely prefer the 'look' of the flat, but have you driven one? I test drove these twice (new). On the first one, the engine seemed to be having some weird issues, bogging and such. This didn't happen on the second one, but both test drives the car smelled strongly of burning plastic afterwards. I know sometimes there are coatings on engines that make them smell when new, but this didn't smell like that.... Smelled like the turbo charged flat engine would be a nightmare.
