So ive returned from my adventures and had a great day playing around in the car. Found some nice A+B roads on the way down to the coast, even got the roof down a couple of times as the weather was pretty good.
Noticed a couple of things....
First, the gear box is pretty stiff. 4th gear especially is a bit of a pain, so far Ive crunched the gears 4 times when knocking it into 4th.... Doesnt always get home properly, well if I dont ram it in that is. Also reverse gear is v v stiff, and takes quite a bit of effort to push accross. Hopefully it will losen up a little.
Seats are very very comfy even for a 6'4' freak like me... After 6 hours of drving I still feel fine and could have carried on. Heated seats are fantastic and are really good for relaxing you back on long trips
At first I thought the Bose was crap.. but after getting a few of my CDs going and cranked it up a bit have found it to be pretty sweet.. Should really have come with a DAB radio though as the analague sound quality, whilst not bad isnt great.
Ride quality on 19's with no PASM is fine.. only seriouslly bad roads cause a problem... Standing water and rough dips do unsettle the car somewhat, tugging the wheel left and right... My GF didnt like this at all when she drove the car, for me it was not too bad. Wonder if PASM would have helped this???
All in all great car, really happy and am looking forward to tomorrow as I'm off work again and will spend my time playing with my toy!!!!!!!
Anyway just a bit more car porn! This time nice and clean!
