well i was lucky enough to be allowed a drive in Helens car yesterday

now im no expert at all so im going to keep this reveiw simple

The first thing i noticed about this car is that it was quite simply beautifull, much much better than what the pictures can show. The build quality inside and out was outstanding i thought. Helen took me for a spin out in it ... wow she knows how to drive it (and amazingly the OBC was still reading 25mpg !) then out of the blue Helen pulled up and offered me a drive wasnt expecting that ... so i climb in adjust the seat and stuff and their is still loads of room for my 6'2" frame! As i set off i noticed the power was there from the slighest press on the peddle annd nicely through all the gears. Apparently i wasnt pushing it very hard and Helen told me to get the revs above 5k , she was right , what a howl from the engine, an amazing engine note at those revs and above. The best thing about this car is the handling, it just sticks to the road amazingly, i have driven nothing quite like it that had shere outright handling. The suspension was quite hard, which made for a bumpy ride at times, never an issue though.

Would i buy one ? well i dont know ... it looks gorgeous, sounds amazing, handles unbelieably... but is it my 335D , no it isnt and i love my car too much to part with it quite yet

thanks Helen you have a top car
