New Owner - First impressions (HSE Auto) | |
Picked up our new HSE Auto in Santorina Black with almond leather yesterday morning, we're still getting used to her but initial thoughts are;
Quality feel throughout, switch gear feels like it will last
Very refined and quiet on the move
Excellent seating position, drivers seat can be almost comically high
Good paint finish, car looks very solid
Very smooth 6 speed auto
Things to improve;
Nothing integrated - phone and audio appear only on the audio, sat nav only on the sat nav, computer only on the dash. All needs to be on the colour screen if its fitted
Computer is slow to react to button, limited functionality
Lack of cubby holes in front, especially sunglasses holder
Would be better with darker strip at top of windscreen
Armrests are lovely but get in the way of handbrake, can't imagine what they are like with a manual
Tailgate is heavy to open and close, electric option would be good
Engine could do with more grunt, may be fixed in 2011MY FL2 auto
But overall we are delighted and looking forward to many years of family motoring out of her. Its only been 36 hours and she's been off road already and I even managed to use HDC!
