Both Miles in town and Ilam share the same car, is this it?

I drove the demo car (which is red, so why I'm assuming this is it) only last Thursday. I got it back to the dealer though.

I'll ring the rep that I dealt with tomorrow, and see what he says.

It was definitely the demo, just talked to them.

As already said, driver took at 25km/h corner at 60km/h (which is pretty agressive up on the hills) went a little wide, hit some gravel and off he went.

Happened on Sunday.

Both driver and sales rep are okay.

The dealer.

Driver will have to pay an excess, from memory it was $2k.

Spotted a reddish one heading into Wairoa from Napier end about 10 past 9 this morning (was in the bright orange KP Starlet). Didn't really impress me, only giveaway it was a Toyota was the badge.
Personally, just doesn't appeal. Seems to be equivalent to an Altezza with two doors less, just around 15 years too late. Not sold on it and would never buy one.
