Took the little 'ZAX' for a drive up to the dandenongs.

Takes off when it hits second gear and keeps pushing through to 110kmh
Stereo has a little mid puff kick and loud volume.
Enjoyed the sunny holder and the lip gloss compartment and the minty gum compartment.
Nice little click noise as you drive off and past 50ks locking the doors.
Have done 170ks on roughly a quarter of a tank.
Parked next to a ford focus and peugeot hatch.
Heater works great and the demister is fantastic.
Hugs the corners and has a great turning circle.
Wives turn to drive home ;)

Haha just read that :) I'm not an english teacher btw ;) funny

We didn't take photo's too busy concentrating on not crashing the brand new car in the very wet weather.
I'll take some of the new car though in time and post here

Dragged a ford focus off at the lights and crunched second gear :(
gave the abs a little tickle with a near miss at some roadworks.

eventful day.

Wives gave me the drive home pleasure.

She gets it all week though.

280ks on the clock and 1/8 tank left - fill up in the morning.

Is it a Manual? I forget  :-[ (If so you should get closer to 1000 if you brim it)  :happydance:

If it's a manual he'd get much more than $1000 for it.
