It was a Crayon S on 21" rs spyder wheels, basic extended leather, pano roof, normal seats, PASM, BOSE, reversing camera, Chrono pack and GT steering wheel a few body kit bits on standard exhaust. It only had 100miles on the clock so not even run in.. I was the third test driver that day and someone else was waiting for it when I got back ! I was encouraged to push on in it (thats why I would never buy ex demo) a few little
l3 bits are better than the 2.0 other than the engine.. double ×2 exhausts, aluminium on the door sills, grey background to the rev counter, piano black trim etc. A lovely place to be and very comfortable, but I am glad I've speced the further extended leather on the lower dash / top of doors / ctr console / steering wheel ctr etc. Screen looked very nice and not stuck on like many are, i got the seats / steering wheel set just right for me I actually felt like I was sat lower than my S3 and could still of put the seat lower. Setting off and having to turn the "key" was a novelty after a decade of start buttons.. the reversing camera was very good and useful in a tight car park. Felt very smooth. It was a foul day with driving rain and standing water, I didn't know the road but I tried my best to push on.. it was in normal mode leaving the dealer and felt very planted and compliant as we left the 30 zone I planted the throttle.. the box dropped 2 coggs quickly and smoothly the bonnet lifted and rapidly thrust us forward .. to laughs from me and the salesman .. I popped it into sport and it tightened up .. immediately droping 2 gears. faster throttle response and faster gear change .. it felt fast and responsive, smooth and refined engine.. but not much noise.. it didn't feel as fast or as direct as my S3 but it was never going to .. it will get better with a few thousand miles on it, for a 1800kg SUV it was amazing .. strung the corners together nicely and cornered quite flat.. I loved it, for what it is its excellent, fast, refined, handled well, rode well, excellent build quality, lovely interior. Better than the 2.0 in many ways and good value in comparison, Mpg wont be that different in real terms and will hold its value better. I've made a good choice.. roll on July
