I had a test drive of the 147 GTA last week. I was amazed at the performance of the car. Where my 147 2.0 TS would be doing 110 - 120 kmh, the GTA would be doing 140 - 150 kmh. I did not notice any of the shortcomings mentioned by motoring journalists. It just grips and goes, with a delicious howl from the V6.

I guess I was impressed because I bought it yesterday and will collect it on Tuesday. It's metallic blue with black sports leather interior and Xenon lights.It has less than 6000kms on the clock. I must admit I don't think I would be more excited if I was buying a Ferrari. GTAs are very special....

PS: I'll have to change my avatar too.
