Bought it home and was an interesting drive. I have never owned a diesel before so this is going to take some getting used to. It really didn't appreciate being revved and would let it be known that too much torque is on tap as I made it wobble a couple of times. As I got a bit more used to driving it, the progressive power was amazing. Gentle nudging on the pedal and it would accelerate like a beast and, again not being used to a diesel, the sound would go from a well insulated cabin keep out most of the tapping noise of a diesel to roaring.
I've only driven it 25 miles so not really experienced enough but for me the positives are crazy power from an established engine wrapped up in a family sized vehicle that is mostly understated in looks. The early downside is, and I am not sure if this is the 20" wheels, Pirelli or run flats, but potholes are definitely felt.
Would appreciate some more help please:
I'm yet to go through the whole manual provided, but in googling before buying, I could not find an answer. Does the 3.0d use regular diesel or the premium diesel at the pump?
I googled regarding the folding of wing mirrors and that was a pandoras box. I cannot see any buttons or on the dash. Is folding the wing mirrors possible straight out of the box or do they need to be programmed? |
