Nice car and rare colour! Get it bought!
It is a good colour and it'll drive great. I'd buy it, as long as it checks out ok of course.

How many times have you felt like this driving it? It just doesn't sound right.
Probably a daft idea but have you tried it with the suspension in sports / on a stiffer setting - ours doesn't have the driving modes but when you say " surprisingly compliant" I wonder if the body roll or similar is a little to much?
That's a fair point and no I haven't tried in anything other than comfort yet. I'm used to wallowy cars bit still worth a try.
One of my mates from a previous forum just suggested it might be the auto gearbox that's the issue though. As you're feeling the gears change without changing them yourself - kind of like escalators compared to stairs (I can't use escalators or lifts tbf!).
Never heard of it before but if that's the case it'll mean the 2.0 Excellence Lux is out as well...
Do you not get like 14days to hand back / terminate deal?
Maybe you are just nervous as it is new. I know when i hop into a different car there is an adjustment period that you have to go through. Takes a couple of days maybe longer and i fortunately don’t have any health conditions.
Maybe it will be okay? Guess you have a couple of days to see if things improve.
What's the ride like on estates?
The independent rear suspension is only on the 1.8 and 2.0 engines as they have more power.Oh...I've just found one 10 miles away! It is an estate though...and I don't like red cars.

Good. We've had two estates and a hatch. The estate feels a bit more stable, being a bit heavier, the diesel more so because the engine is heavier. The FR is a really good balance of handling and ride on the facelift, especially if you get smaller wheels than the fashionable 18s.
The estate is such a practical car to me it's a no brainer over the hatch. I think it looks better too, more purposeful.
I've inquired about the estate by email, asking if they'd allow an extended test drive due to my situation.
