well the day arrived, honeymoon has begun!!
Bells of Northampton delivered and I am happy owner of S60 SE Lux D4 (Stone Black). Beat local Dealers by wide margin.
Thanks to you guys for writing honestly about your cars - hence my choice of engine, the good deal from Bells meant I put front parking assist (valuable) and heated seats (cold up North!) with the driver support pack (BLIS is good, Adaptive cruise control is useful and I hope not to try pedestrian safety measures!). The road sign detection is more accurate than I thought.
Boot space is more useful than I thought as the German cars have bigger numbers.
I like the driving position, I'm 6'3" and there is room for an adult behind me; the Sensus system is easy to personalise. I like the drop the rear head restraints button and visibility is good.
Parking brake button is in the wrong place as I have to stretch to reach forward - it should be near the gear lever and the lack of spare wheel is well described in previous posts.
Still keeping my 1.9 140bhp 03 Skoda Octavia Estate (137000miles 50 - 60 mpg measured depending on roads/ temp/ driving style.
cheers, David

Hope you enjoy it, don't forget to give it some decent work to do in the first hundred or so miles
