Thanks all!! As you might expect, been doing quite a bit of driving. It IS AN AWESOME car to drive. However, it is a very large car, especially since I have been driving a B class Merc for 7 years, although I used to drive a Lexus 430. It is taking a little longer than I expected to get used to regen on standard than I expected, but am getting there. Judging lane keeping, especially in tight areas is also taking a while. Turns in shopping centre car parks is a major headache at present, but I will get there. Visibility out the rear window is minimal and the sills on side windows are quite high. Using the camera all the time and have spent extra time adjusting wing mirrors. Do set auto tilt. You are going to need it. Also there is annoying distortion at the base of the windscreen, known issue from the forums. Overall though, these are nits. There are other settings issues ( minor) that I am going in today to the SC to discuss. One of which is rdio. Another is wifi. Another is how to change the voice on the gps.
My car has been issued as a service loan vehicle not as a demonstrator. THEY DO NOT COVER INSURANCE ON LOAN VEHICLES which I discovered after I got home at midnight!!! So, an urgent call to my broker goes out this morning. Can't leave my garage today until that is sorted.
The traffic density prediction on the gps is accurate ( press the traffic light icon). Voice recognition for gps works well, even with my funny South African/ Australian combo. Beats typing in addresses. Routing is accurate, but no way to choose alternate routes or display/ add traffic speed cameras.
The turning circle is surprisingly wide given this is a rear wheel drive. I was expecting somewhat tighter. Means lots of manoeuvring especially in my tight driveway with the size of the car. That's all for now folks enjoy your cars when you get them. Hopefully some of the issues above, which I think are going to be universal will be sorted out for you, following my visit today to the centre.
