Times i wished i'd gone for a 20d, but then when i give mine a poke, it does go like stink!
I would have really loved a 23D, before I found out the MRS was pregnant I was looking at 123 Coupes.

The 20D S drive is 177BHP so it's by no means the slowest X drive would have been nice I guess but I was more concerned about the colour of the car and m sport etc.
