Well today was quite a good day.
Got to the dealership at about 0915. After doing some mandatory paperwork and a quick check of my car they spent the next near 2hrs talking me through enough on the car to get me going (I'd still be there now if they went through everything) and answered any questions I had.
I then Sat in the car with one of the staff and she showed/talked me through setting up the seats, nav, mirrors etc and then came with me on a test drive to ensure I was happy with the cruise, gearbox modes and sport mode. Sport mode is brilliant you can really feel the difference in the car.
On return to the dealership I was presented with a brand new map disc set and a set of media interface cables as the originals were missing.
After a quick discussion about servicing plans etc I walked out the showroom having had the best handover of a car I've ever had. Even though this was a used approved car the sales team where only to happy to help with any query I had and made me feel like I was their only customer.
The salesman even wrote some questions in his diary to sort for me next week. Mainly about the Brabus map
The journey home was one of the nicest drives I've had in a while. Everything was effortless and silky smooth. Even the Mrs commented on just how smooth it was when she drove it.
I'm not for one minute suggesting my vRS was bad nor am I now a badge snob. The vRS gave me 3 happy years motoring and the one before it gave me 4. I just wanted to try something different. I wanted diseasel due to distance from family and I wanted power and comfort. That only really left me with one of the big 3 German makers and this car was just too good to let go.
Storage wise it's a bit smaller than the vRS in boot space. But I rarely fill it now and I have a roof box.
The only other thing to mention at the moment is the stereo. It's foooking epic. The sound is amazing, as expected from Harman Kardon.
All in all in the short time I've had it the car has impressed me an awful lot and more than I anticipated.
