How depressing, you've peaked so early....no way that thing feels as porky
as our "modern compacts". It confirms once again that yes, power is the
answer to all of life's problems. 2700's great, considering that beefy
framework and that "luggage in the boot". Sweet balance, me boyo. It'll be
prefect for winter, with that "in cabin heating system" and all...
