One sunny Friday afternoon...
PCCB, xenons, sound plus, tinted screen and not much else, just the way I think it should be. The weather was just fabulous when we drove it out of the showroom, only to spend two full hours around the corner in solid traffic. The clutch made itself known.
850 km since then, almost 700 km on the first tank, but I think that is the last time I got such distance.
I have lots of first impressions, but since I follow the more traditional thinking in terms of break-in procedure, I will wait until I open the stops to give you an overall opinion. The bottom line, of course, is that this car is a dream. Much more of an animal, though, then the pictures alone of the beautiful shape have led me to believe.
One more thing about break-in: I have been taking it up to no more than 5 thousand rpm, shifting all the time, varying speed, etc, and in these last 850 km, the engine has slightly, but still notably changed note and vibrations in a positive way. This is expected, I know, and in my mind this only supports the idea of a proper(ish) break-in. It's not just the engine, but the gear change, also. I would have to be possessed to "drive it like I stole it" from the off.
The pictures, then.
