Well I had an extend test drive on Friday, managed to grab a 1.4 petrol comfort for an overnight / morning stint.
First impressions are pretty good really. The fixtures and fittings seem of a very good quality. The ride is good, and I managed to get very close to the manufactures combined mpg figures (albeit driving very conservatively) despite the fact the car had only 910 miles on the clock.
I was a little underwhelmed with the stereo speakers - they were OK but not great, and I was a little dissapointed with the fact that I won't get a front centre armrest on the 2010 comfort, but a 6 speed box matched to the 1.6 diesel engine goes some way to compensate for that.
I'm going to speak to the suppliers tomorrow to see if we can reach a deal on an order. I'm looking at the 1.6 diesel Edition in metallic silver, with the ISG option added. That comes to £11,890 in total using the scrappage scheme. If I can get a few percent knocked off the total price and some mats and petrol thrown in for free, I'll be fairly happy.
Does anyone have any knowledge / experience of the ISG system? I do quite a bit of stop start driving so I'm thinking that it would start to save me money within a year or so. I remember seeing a review somewhere that said it worked quite well for the diesel, but I don't seem to be able to find it now.
