Whilst I am openly critical of some of these niggles (polite word used) I have nothing but respect for what has been achieved. Its just that last 10% that drives me nuts sadly.
Its the high maintenance mistress car without a doubt. But it looks and feels so good you have to put up with it. The only way of keeping the balance is to put miles on it? The Coupe (2013) now has 30,000 on it whereas the poor S2 has only just reached 32,000, it needs more love.
