I drove it hard on the uphill motorway sections...had to with only 95PS to keep it at 120kph, then once over the crest and steep downhill foot off the gas and let the revs drop.
Configured the dash this AM..3 options, with what I suppose is called a ‘digital cockpit’.
Temp shown in bar form on LHS, fuel RHS. Radio station in centre with speed digitally displayed on bottom of dashboard.
Option 2 was ‘traditional’ round dials in centre, showing revs and kph, fuel and temp as above.
Option 3 was a rectangular (ish) display of revs and kph, same fuel and temp in bar form again.
I was suitably impressed, given it’s probably a base model. So much so that I went and scraped it. There’s a narrow steep uphill off a roundabout, which I know like the back of my hand. I’ve rented a property on the RHS several times, gaining access off a right hand turn, onto a level road leading to the complex of properties.
My ‘new’ rental is a 90 left, sharp downhill, rather blind after the steep uphill. Totally misjudged the very deep kerb on the narrow downhill access track, and bounced off it at low speed. As have other folks judging by the black tyre marks. No wheel damage, but a 6” x 2” scuff on the lower OS front. Can’t fail to miss it , even in a dark multi storey cp. I’ve a CDW policy to reclaim whatever they charge me, but I’ll take it to my friends local garage to see if it can be sorted for cash , wet & dry then a matching black spray paint to save me the palaver.
Double drat.
