Will do! I'm coming from an M2 to this, so should be a reasonable step up. They have just started to fall into affordability for me and seems a good time to get some 4WD action for the winter as the M2 is all but useless when the temps drop.

I'm not a fan of the Pirellis the car comes with and would suggest you look for one with Michelins. Only issue I had was the car turning off after a cold start in the morning once or twice a week (has been written and commented on the forum many times). It has to do with the fuel pump under the rear seat. I had it replaced (under warranty) early on my ownership and never had an issue since.
Haha funny because it was the first thing I checked. They are Michelin PS4's and plenty of life in them. Will keep an eye out for that as I've still a year warranty left.

Based in the UK so don't get Car Fax, but I've seen service history and no advisories from either of the two it's had. I actually test drove one where the breaks were squeaking, so might look at getting the pads done if this is the case.

Thanks everyone for your help.
