Sorry about that...can it be shortened by someone cleverer than I ? Yes, me. Smokie :-)
ThanksKevin...I read about the new generation of speed lasers ( Velolaser ) on the N322 FB page, run by police and other volunteers. I rarely exceed, nor would I wish to in my recent motley selection of hire cars, 140 kph on the motorway, normally cruising around 130kph if the vehicle is comfortable with that. Often they aren’t.
Today was a new Opel Corsa diesel. Leagues better than recent C3 and C3 Aircross. Not particularly good reviews I read, but feels far more solid, quieter at speed, 6 speed manual, trip computer showing a range of 860kms when I collected it this lunchtime. Diesel locally is €1.529 litre, that’s 12cents a litre less than petrol. Not complaining. 17” rims, Apple Car play, front & rear sensors, reversing camera and that 360 aerial view on a split screen which I had on the Macan.
Pulls really well on motorway inclines, didn’t need to drop from 6th, and my low initial expectations when given the key are blown out of the water. No idea about rear space, but goes much better than previous rentals...lovely leather trimmed flat bottomed steering wheel with thumb rests, over light steering , decent gearchange, progressive brakes, good headlights in the tunnels, easy to use touch screen, old fashioned twiddly heater controls which I prefer.
Not as much fun as the 208 GT with flappy paddles, but very acceptable.
