That's how I'm pitching it to myself anyway

Well, well, well.
Took my 207 to the garage today at 8am due to the coolant leak. At 17.45 (15 minutes before they close). I got a call to say that they'd fixed it.
Turns out the thermostat housing that was replaced last year had failed and caused a leak of fluid which had eroded an o-ring which connected the to the radiator.
All work completed free of charge as the part fitted last year was still under warranty. No labour or anything.
Phew!!

Maserati Unveils Its New Supercar, The MC20
"Maserati rolled out its first supercar in 15 years. Developed by the Maserati Innovation Lab over the past two years, the MC20 evolved from the famed MC12, which ceased production in 2010, and signals the venerable Italian automaker’s return to racing.
"We are setting the cornerstone for building the future of Maserati,” said Davide Grasso, Maserati’s COO, during an event revealing the new model in Modena, Italy. “The MC20 is the embodiment of our values, the first of its kind 100% made in Modena. MC20 is the model that starts our new era."
The long-awaited MC20 features the first engine built in-house by Maserati in more than two decades. The Nettuno (or Neptune) is a 3-liter, twin-turbo V6 with an F1-inspired pre-combustion chamber and a dual-spark plug configuration. It produces 621 horsepower, can go from 0 to 60 mph in a bracing 2.9 seconds, and has a top speed of 202 mph."

Great car but you will be incessantly badgered by any kid in a hot hatch sitting on your bumper, to the point it will irritate the life out of you. Its a car that basically does absolutely everything well, yet despite its ridiculous pace never really feels that exciting to drive. I don’t know if that’s due to what I owned prior to it though. The only real irks with it are the boot space is laughably small, and it drones which you can’t switch off, it’s always a shock to then jump in my wife’s Golf (also a MK7.5) and it is whisper quiet. DSG is also a bit dumb, it’s terrible for over revving if you’re coasting down hills etc. Other than that I can’t really think of any bad points. @Jamie had one too if you want another opinion.
