New i30 N Performance

Picked my Performance Blue N up this morning, just 5 days ahead of the official "on sale" date.

Pinched what was going to be the dealer's demo car.

It's going to take some getting used to as I've not owned a FWD car in nearly two decades, and for the last 15 year's I've been driving round in Nissan Zs - RWD, big naturally aspirated engine.

Most noticable differences are the driving position - higher, but better thanks to reach-adjustment on the smaller wheel - and harder to park (10cm longer and 50cm worse turning circle). But so far I'm really liking it, can't wait to get the running in period over so I can both give it the full beans and test the launch control.
