Finally escaped the rat race and retired !

Having handed back the company car I am now the proud owner of a 2020 Gunmetal Grey N-Connecta Dig-T 1.3 140, Glass Roof model, but now paying all the bills myself :shock: .

Love the quietness of the Dig-T 1.3 140 coming from a 1.6 dCi and it seems to have more than enough power for my driving. I just need to check out the few extra features they've added since 2017 but all in all everything is pretty familiar :D

Will be lurking in the background learning from everyone's posts.

Welcome and congrats on the retirement but if you're here just to make us jealous... ;)

Really great looking car ... looks shiny new too !
Gunmetal is always a good choice.
A Glass Roof is also important to me ... I still enjoy that option each and every day and can't get enough of it.
Good luck.

Thank you Pandjh and QaiFan :-)

The glass roof was a must as it makes the car so light and airy, just got to get into a routine of keeping it shiny now I have more time. I'm a bit jealous of the new J12 but couldn't budget for one of those and am happy with the J11b.

Cheers

IMHO your J11b looks just as nice as any J12 !

And so bloody hot when the sun is out :D I have a glass roof in my QQ and summer months the roof blind is closed. But it is great when it is cooler for the other 350 days :D
