As I was explaining to MyfeckinFTO, I was not in the market for a car, and I thought that the FTO and I would grow old together as I had no intention of selling.
So this was very much an impulse purchase. Exactly the same as the purchase of the FTO some 5 years ago-the car came to me rather than the other way around -and that worked out well. Virtual window shopping (on FTO-Ireland) can end up being an expensive pursuit.
After 6 full years of FTO ownership over a 7 year period and three FTO's a change of scenery was welcome though. I did want to try a different engine/ driven wheel combo, and had been flirting with the idea of a 'large capacity' engine.
This tranaction appeared to make sence -in as much as buying a 2 seat, 3.5l car with a small boot can
Have not ended up sideways in a ditch -yet -so, so far so good!
