After several months from ordering in December when the new GTS was 1st announced, having the delivery embargoed on 25 March (pandemic lock down)....... it was finally delivered in a hermetically sealed, closed body specialist transporter truck today.

Speedo showing just 16 miles on arrival and delighted to say all is present and correct with the spec as ordered.

Having now got the speedo to 58 miles, my initial impressions are:
# turn in and steering more precise and the front end feels lighter. Power steering plus is worth it and does not detract from the feel of the road
# doesn't have the low down torque / shove of the SD, but the engine is obviously tight. I need to adjust my throttle action, but only once running in has been completed
# sport exhaust sounds good from the outside, but difficult to hear inside
# really like the new full width rear light bar
# standard 8-way GTS seats in Alcantara are excellent. Grip your body, not sticky in this heat (unlike leather in our other car) and very comfortable
# larger screen a bonus. Touch screen swift and user friendly. Voice control actually works well
# door mirrors can be set to fold automatically when key locking presses- whoopey!

Early days, but so far so good....

Great colour choice, loving mine.

Have you managed to get out in it for a decent run?

Easiest ever car to break in with so much torque on tap below the 4k rev limit (1800 miles), PSE sounds great and is getting better as the miles go on.

Smart vehicle.

Sports mode will keep the revs above 2000 and then the diesel will become a fading memory, the new SC steering wheel switch is there to be used!

Thanks, I will definitely try that once I've got some more miles under the wheels.

Thank you for all your kind comments. The colour definitely pops and changes with the degree of day / night lighting.
