My IS250 SE was delivered on Wednesday this week on time and as per order. I was like a kid on christmas eve the night before, my partner nearly left me if I mentioned the new car once more time.
The car was delivered by the Swindon dealership, nice guy, with a clip board. we sat in the car and started the script, I just wanted to tell him to go, and leave me to play with it, he suggested me reading the manual....ya right, I am a man, do not do manuals...He seemed to struggle on some elements of the MM, think I couldhave done better on that bit...any way, the hand over was a 9/10. he suggested us high octane petrol too, so thats what I am doing using Shell Opitmax...I asked about limiting the revs and speed, he turned to me and said go and "fill my boots"!....no need have fun, was his responce, so I have
Had a meeting in the afternoon, so plugged in the location and off I went.WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, what a car, the engine is so quiet, drive prefect and comfortable. On the M1, had so many people look over and scare at the car, or am I imagining it....
Wednesday night, I gave in and got the manual out, as soooooooo many buttons and features to learn..
Now Saturday and had the car 3 days, and done 700 miles, trip to london, yuck M1 and Friday return home....still l learning the buttons, so many surprise,,,ohhh thats what that does...!
Loves
99.9% of the car......where can I start, it looks great, drives very well, you put your foot down and you have a G Force on your face like the space shuttle. The toys are so great, from the well tooled sat nav to the reserve cam, thou still getting used to the voice activation, might be my accent!. Any one else found that....gave up and pressed disc...
Things I am struggling with
MM is a bit nanny, some features and disabled when driving...okay understand about watching a DVD, but dialling a number..
MP3 disks, has anyone had anu problems with CD's with MP3 music. freezes and refuses to respond, can not eject, and the whole MM freezes for a while.
Bluetooth with Nokia 6330i - how can you scny the whole contact list, only can seem to do one by one...yuck...
Hates
None...what so ever, normally i can find one thing to hate.....
Every time I get in the car I find something else I love...think I am having an affair with my car...
