Is300 Top Speed & Feeling …

[vince-com]

Bonjour et Bonne Année a tous,

So after my quick trip to Barcelona, I can have now an exact feeling of my Sportcross.

Top speed on the Highway from Barcelona to the frontier was a bit upper than 240 speedo reading, in e-shift mode with ECT on, I tried before in automatic only and the car was really slow up 220 km/h.

The black point is the consumption !!!!, I noticed it before in some shorter trips, but never on 2500 kms test trip in 3 days.

A blast, at 140/150 km/h using the speed regulator no more than 500 kms for 55 litres, not bad but a bit slow, upper than 160 this will be arround 350 kms and upper than 200 it's about 270-280 kms (glups) !!!!!

Anyway in city, this is around 300kms for 55 liters…

The car is really superb at top speed, the same feeling I had in the IS200 with more power & torque, really good when a Beemer 330 is at your 6, poor man he saw the silver flash :P

A bit better in rainy condition, maybe about the torsen.

Confort is good, a bit noisiest than the 200. A great car to make quickly kilometers.

The 15.000 service will be next thursday, with a fresh and new air filter.

Happy new year and best wishes to all

Happy New Year to you too Vince, glad your trip went well even if the fuel consumption leaves a little to be desired!
