She says it's too low for her to get in and out of comfortably, it's too noisy and the ride is too bumpy. Suits me!

Nello Unregistered N	Mrs Nello quite likes being driven in it but refuses to drive it (but shes on the insurance as its lower with her on!) Though she does not really 'do' cars - would prefer a nice safe family mobile (she wants an Evoque to replace her Sedici!)

But, hates the fact that its expensive to fix when it breaks, that I molly coddle the car and get grumpy when things go wrong with it. Oh, and she's never driven it or wants to, despite me telling her to take it for a blast! Coupe now sold!

She's not quite so impressed with the running costs, especially the two big rebuild bills its inflicted on me this year. However, I've just bought her a Newfoundland pup for a combined Christmas / 50th birthday, so I appear to be forgiven (at least for a while)
