Thanks for the replies guys, I will defo check out previous posts to get a bit more knowledge on the xfires, so far I've read a few stuff about a booster that helps the acceleration due to drive by wire, read few horror stories about rust issues, and also most importantly if I damage the car, from insurance point of view, they ll try to write it off as spares are getting hard to get by !

But I like my quirky, stand out of the lot, cars so I WILL get a xfire.

Is the manual version really that bad ? If it is then is the semi automatic standard or depending on models? Cos I don't wanna be stuck with a full on automatic without being able to at least change gear tiptronic style.

Not gonna have time to have a look at the car tomoz as I've just finished work and I'm gonna be knackered ! So hopefully it will still be up for sale on tuesday

Really excited
