MiTo in Cardiff showroom

Anyone been to see the MiTo at Dutton Forshaw in Cardiff? I went at lunchtime (whilst going to get a replacement number plate light bulb) - it looks very very nice in the flesh. The left-hand drive example they have in is in black with decent 17" wheels. It even looks good from the front! I will have to persuade the wife that it will sit quite nicely on the drive next to the GT....

I spoke to "forshawman" whilst in there, nice chap! Shame about the service guys who wouldn't help me open the light casing to replace my number plate bulb. I'd have to "book the car in". I just wanted someone to show me how to do it - 30 seconds effort. This is why I won't be using DF's for work like servicing etc!

Going to go down and have a look at a MiTo very soon.

kelvin is a very decent guy and worth dealing with - not used the tech guys yet.

Thanks for the offer! Shame the service guys weren't as helpful. I managed to change the bulb in the end, after really forcing it!
