Finally took delivery on the 225 roadster I ordered at the end of January. Here is my scientifically objective critical evaluation, after 175 miles. This car is perfect in every way! Love the acceleration with turbocharger. Love the engine sound. Love the triple green, with charcoal trim on dash, side panels, and boot. Love the Bose; I now hear tracks on Annie DiFranco I never knew were there. Love the dashboard illumination at night. The boot is a breeze to install, especially compared to my Alfa. And I love its whole personality. Does it sound like I am in love? I'm hitting the road. SoCal TTs look for me on Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Monica and Malibu.

Kirsten,

Congratulations on your new Roadster! I'm so excited for you! Mine is due in December, Nimbus Grey, TTR. I'm in SoCal too, (west hollywood) so I'll be looking for you on the road.

One thing I can't wait to do, is drive down PCH at sunset. Lucky you to be able to do it now!

Is charcoal the standard trim for the triple green or does it require a special order?..finalising my triple green order in the next few days (having never seen one) and I need to know all the options that I have to specify....many thanks....
