Very nice.
I really love the colour. Not to sure about the all black int though. Mines got auburn leather, which I was not to sure about, but it does brighten up the inside.

Thanks everyone!
I managed to do a totally unnecessary 120 miles yesterday just for the hell of it - and I love the sports auto transmission - it's really a no-brainer option as it's only ?70 or so more than the standard auto 'box in the UK. The iPod integration is fantastic too - I had to buy a new 32G iPod Touch as my old iPod was slightly too old - but it was worth it. Now I have about 5000 tracks to listen too.
As for the black interior, it seems to come out looking dull on photos as the camera tends to try and make the picures come out to a mid tone grey, but it looks super slick in real life.
The only problem is that now I finally have the car, it's going to spend most of the next three weeks parked at Heathrow airport as I am out of the country on business apart from weekends. Frustrating...
