've put subwoofer amp and changer and there is still more than 2/3 of the boot space left) ensure for its versatility, and the leg room on the back seats isn't that bad either although driving with more than 2 passengers on the back is realy better avoided (the back sinks to the groud and makes the car look like a boat :P). Being a VR6 it also has a lot of nice extra options on-board (i.e. electric all windows sunroof and mirrors, 2 airbags, sporty seats, trip computer, remote central locking, thermotronic, etc.) which are quite cool and unique for a 11 year old car. The pleasure of driving a vr6 car is very high, the car has a very good throttle response (after the initial auto-box lag of course) and at cruising speeds I'm bearly touching the gas pedal at all.

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. I would recommend it. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.
