SS would be later on I think, let her get used to the current speed and performance first.
Mind the fuel consumption for a daily though, only getting about 30mpg at the moment ...

Yes, she drives it all the time and loves it. I just wash it nowadays, don't drive it more then once a week or so.

You save 4k by doing that.
However, tintop is a previous version of a lot of components, i.e. you don't get the upgraded Koni shocks, less powerful engine, no Xenons.
You can get a full manual gearbox though, the new generation tintop will also have the same new gearbox as the C has.
