Well I've had Fernando for twelve weeks now and just wanted to share a few experiences/thoughts with you.
Overall I love the car. Very pleased I changed my mind at the last minute and got the black one. I've only seen one other Black sport in my area and I like that he's a little rarer than the BNW ones.
For me Blue and Me has been great and If I was to spec a new one it would definitely be on my need list. The leather sports seats are great I find them really supportive.
Driving position took some getting used to but once you are used to it I really like it now.
I think I've had one DPF regen in my ownership I was on the motorway and MPG dropped to 45ish and there was a funny smokey smell. I do a vary varied mix of driving some long motorway stints and some really short journeys. Everyone who has been in the car thinks its very refined for a diesel.
Fernando has picked up his first car park dint a little 50p sized one on the wheel arch. There was also a little scuff but luckily this has polished out.
Overall quality feels great some of the plastics are a little scratchy inside and the indicator stalks felt a little flimsy at first touch but I think they will wear well.
Two things that I don't particularly like - 1. No glovebox - my stuff moves and vibrates in there and it bugs me! 2. A real life boot lid pull-thing - You have to really grip that bit of material and it can be a little difficult when my hands are full.
