Some initial impressions. Never driven the GTS before as they never had a demo before today. These are all entirely personal observations and made in comparison to what I drive currently which is a Merc E class coupe.
1. Sport plus is scary quick. Knocked it into this mode on the M60 and it terrified me I did get more used to the feeling as the drive went on. The sound is absolutely nuts (in a good way)
2. The 18 way seats were ok for me. I’m very athletic but can well imagine some difficulty might be encountered by older drivers as the side bolsters are very firm, rigid even, when climbing in and out.
3. The car had the standard steering wheel. It feels hard to my bony hands. Very hard. My Merc wheel is much softer and for me that’s important. I have specced the GT wheel on my GTS which does feel better.
4. The car did not have power steering plus. This is very noticeable in and about town when manoeuvring. The steering felt heavy.
5. Carbon interior looked ok, but the weave is a little old school in visual for me.
6. The heated steering wheel worked (unlike what was reported by another poster today)
7. When making a call the receiver said I sounded very distant. I’m sure I must have been doing something wrong?
