Well I have had a few days to get to know the car and a glorious 500 miles done so far.
So far it has been an absolute joy with no issues or niggles at all. Really looking forward to the euro road trip this year as this car is absolutely prefect for it. I am so impressed with how much of a split personalty this car has. In cruise control with sports mode off its honestly as quiet and comfortable as my c class Merc but press the sports button and everything changes!
On the run back from Edinburgh to Aberdeen I was surprised to see an average of 23.4mpg! That was lots of time spent in cruise control at 75 but good to see that on longer runs it can get more sensible mpg readings. Since I have had it in Aberdeen and been running around town, that mpg is about mid teens! The joys
Today I changed down from 3rd to 2nd with a large bus either side of me and it honestly sounded like a bomb went off, totally addictive!
From what I have experienced so far the best way to get rapid gear changes in MC shift mode is to just keep the pedal to the metal, absolutely floored, and change up, it absolutely bangs it into the next gear.
Really looking forward to getting to know this car more. Im not sure how long I'm going to keep it for, as I really just bought it for the road trip this July with the intention of selling it again in August, but we will wait and see, she might be a keeper!
