^^^what he said^^^ They gave you that great deal because this is some kind of factory mistake. Next thing you know, you'll be driving on the wrong side of the road!

Nice car! Might I ask why you went with the wagon? Not that I have anything against them I'm just wondering what qualities it had that got you to get it.

He probably needs the extra space, how complicated do you need to make it?

he says in BHP(British Horse Power), I assume that driving in UK is a left side, unlike in US where you drive on right side. So that makes for the sterring wheel on left side.

Lol yeah I'm British so the steering wheel is on the 'right side'. Although i gotta admit when i was driving in the US last year it wouldn't have been much use

Went for the Avant because i prefer it, the extra space is handy especially when i'm working on my house, but i do kinda prefer the look of the Avant too.

Took it for a proper drive today, the sport suspension is so good, feels like you're in a car half the weight and size. The multitronic is excellent, love the instant shift. I had the old tiptronic auto before and this is a vast improvement. Engine is v good, not sure what diesel options you guys get over there but to compare it I'd say it goes like a 200bhp high torque petrol engine but returns 40euro mpg. Love the in dash 6 CD changer too, no more getting out and going to the trunk to change.
