Do a thorough test drive before you order it, if you haven't already.
Especially the gearbox takes some getting used to, esp. on acceleration it feels like nothing is happening for the noise. The speedo will show otherwise. Some cannot get used to that.

As I'm focused on saving gas I keep the revs as low as possible on acceleration nowadays. Just the occasional busy T junction will wake the hamsters under the bonnet.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
