Like, you can almost convince yourself it's accelerating, instead of merely slowly gathering momentum!

I have to disagree to that, i find this 2.0 engine pretty nippy, then again its only got 44,900 miles on her, from a stop light it gets up and goes quick enough, it leaves cocky looking young lads in their 'clio sports' and focus's in the dust, they kind of give up trying to overtake in the end haha
