From driving it for a couple of days it's fantastic - the VDC makes the 20s actually feel quite good.

A couple of dealer shots

[PX3]

Mmmmm 35d! So wish I could have gone for one of those, but I was lucky to find a 2.0d at the time I purchased mine.

Looking back I think I should have held off for a 3.0d, but I guess I should be happy with what I've got

It will look good in the sun! Nice looking wheels too. Enjoy!

Ranger 6.. What color is that? Deep Sea Blue?
Love the wheels.
Very nice!

[tiggerii]

It's Carbon Black, I've got a 3.0d M Sport in the same colour and a very similar spec. Looks great when its clean which is leading me to having to do more frequent car washes to keep it that way.

Enjoy you car, haven't driven the 3.5d but I'm sure it must be an absolute hoot given the performance of mine.

[Broch]

I've just past 3 years and 50k miles, and i'm still smiling when I drive mine.
*Edit* I know what you mean about keeping the Carbon Black clean, it gets very addictive.

[Ranger 6]

Thanks folks, yes it's Carbon Black. My wife liked the colour

I'm glad I held out for this one, it's a cracking thing to drive and judging by the AUC site, rare too. There's under 20 in the UK.

Once I've got a bit more used to it there'll be a running report and some more pics this weekend.

[Broch]

Only 20? I know they are rare.
I've only seen 1 other in the flesh a couple of years ago

[Ranger 6]

Yup - just done an AUC search. With bluetooth, DAB, xenons and nav, any colour except white - there's 12 for sale.

There's plenty of 30s on the roads, I'm not sure when I last saw a 35. Of course I've not been to Aberdeen recently....

That's a beautiful car and fantastic spec! Congrats!

[Ranger 6]

Thanks

Just keep your eye on the Speedometer! As you know it is so easy to break the speed limit with the car being so quiet with all that power at your disposal.

Do not want you to get caught out by the local cameras.

[Ranger 6]

Yes, definitely!! I have the speed warning activated and it's constantly bonging at me.....

Then again your county is afflicted by a profusion of the things
