Drove one around Oulton and I was very impressed. Not sure what it would be like to live with but its certainly another level compared to the H.

They seem quite rare. Only ever seen 2 on the road, they look lovely in blue. Quite a big car though, bet they weigh a fair bit.

Cheap when all things are considered for a used one

I'll probably be buying new so I'll spec one up with the Navi 950, AFL, electric mirrors, parking sensors and the aero pack. Can't believe they don't come with the aero pack as standard. I get a partners discount and the 100k miles or lifetime warranty is appealing at the moment. Generally keep my cars for 5 years (I've had my 150 CDTI sport hatch H for 5 years) and the 0% finance is a bonus with no ballon payment.

Would be a black one I think. I'd love to see a new Emerald Green in person though.

Does anyone have any experience with the adaptive forward lighting? Is it a gimmick?

Had a good drive around Oulton and was a very nice car to drive. Induction noise in the cabin is really nice and gives you a good drive.
Really liked the cabin to seats were very nice and comfy. The dash was very modern and moulded around the drivers position.
Only thing I wasn't keen on is it was a bit soft in the corners at high speed, although sure a set of springs would stiffen it up a tad more. Although the chances of throwing it around on the roads like you would on track is low so probably wouldn't notice it.
I'd definitely have one, would have to be the blue for me lovely colour.
What sort of deals are these on then?

Got it on my Mazda 6 (Bi Xenon Adaptive) and also retrofitted to my Vectra.
Not a gimmick, I live in a rural area, and they are brilliant on the twistier roads etc. They do actually help to light up areas you wouldn't see as easily with conventional lamps. Not sure how ideal they would be in towns/cities as I don't venture into them often.
I thought the idea was very gimmicky until I experienced them for myself.

That's my point I do 99% city or motorway driving.
