I assume it was the red one I was in a few days ago. I thought it was just about perfect. Only problem is rearward visibility is really bad to the sides - but they have nice big convex mirrors for that. And the shifter I found far too notchy but I would probably get used to that.

The thing that surprised me most about the interior was how solid it felt, even closing the door it was a reassuring thunk.
