Still very limited driving but sure people want to know....
The PDK gearbox is a work of art, I am in love with it already. In D mode you can cruise effortlessly or blast a little. It does move up to 7th quickly but is so quick to change that it doesn't matter. The sport and sport plus buttons change the style of the gearshift massively. In normal mode and under normal acceleration it changes around 2-3000 revs - in sport mode this is around 5000 rpm and in sport plus I bottled out whilst the engine is so young!
In manual, the gearstick selector gives a very smooth movement to change, though the direction of travel will take some getting used to. Using the buttons is fine and I have adapted quickly - I find this easy and so quick it is untrue!
The sports PASM seems great. My previous car was a Cayman with 19" SD's and no PASM. If you see the photos you can really see how the car sits low which just looks great. In normal mode I find the car very comfy, more so than the Cayman, and you can feel it stiffen up if you push on a bit. It is firm in this mode but still comfortable. In sports mode it is not so much the firmness I notice but the balance and leveling of the car - round a tight bend today it kept the car completely flat. I don't expect the LSD to have been too busy thus far. In speccing I thought this was one of the best value options - I am not disappointed so far.
PCM is really very good - Nav cannot find me house but kinda expected that -Bluetooth phone excellent and am going out to try the ipod in a bit.
I love the painted rear section of centre console - so glad I was brave enough!
The engine is sublime, I had to overtake a slow moving car today and it was so easy, just a bit of power and you sail past so quickly.
All for now - long drive this weekend to make my brother jealous so more then.
