New Pulsar owner, just grabbed a bargain.

Hi all,
Late to the party as ever, I picked up a brand new Pulsar last week, just as they go out of production
I'd been searching for a more economical car to run than my previous Ford Focus ST and Pulsars really started to grab my attention, I think they look great. Anyway, long story short, I picked up a pre-reg from a London dealer last week for what I think is a great price for a new car of £13,990. I got £2.5k cash back in hand too for my Focus. It's the top but one spec, N-Connecta is it? I forget now, or more specifically get confused because the trim level names apparently changed during the production run! Anyway, all the nav, climate, connectivity, camera, 17" wheels, half-leather etc.
It's a 1.2 petrol X-tronic and I am wholly impressed with the ride comfort and amount of space in the back for the kids. Amazed that these cars didn't sell better, Nissan dropped a right clanger there with the lack of UK advertising and doubling up on tooling for Spanish production etc.
I'm not a boy racer by any stretch but I have been guilty of lightly modifying every car I've owned, however I plan to keep this one standard as a means to keeping the cost of motoring down. I'm a bit of a fuel stats geek/hypermiler and I'm already seeing my fuel costs plummet, which is nice. I know the 1.2 petrol isn't good for the govt. figures, but I do like a challenge!
Anyway, look forward to chatting on the forum!
Jon
