Wheels are again down to personal preference. I'm not a huge fan of diamond cut styles since as soon as they're damaged there's not much you can do to save them except go for a solid colour. The lacquer never seems to last on a refurbishment and it's more expensive to do. Having said that - the 20 inch wheels on the D5 on Piston Heads do look pretty cool  That seems quite a fair price for a car from a dealer. I've kind of got my heart set on a 2 litre 8 speed though for the economy and smoothness without too much drop in performance.

Hi Olly, if you can find an SE Lux with the Four C Chassis option you can set the suspension settings to your liking. Hopefully Nigel will be along to give some feedback as I know he has it. Only available on SE Lux I believe.
If you havent had a test in all the various models for the seats/ride I would strongly suggest this to help you decide. I know some have said 20 inch wheels can be another step too far but always depends on what you are used to or comming from.
