3rd day and did a lovely 200 mike journey up north yesterday. Think I'm slightly deaf now - that sports exhaust is LOUD!
So a few random questions that you guys should be able to answer in a jiffy:
1. Sports mode feels slow to respond but Sports Plus is insanely fast. I tend to have to almost kick-down in Sports mode (not Sports +) to get it going, does that sound typical?
2. It has Pirelli tyres on at the moment and I've always used Michelin Pilot Sports. In Sports Plus it slides!!!! It's a reasonably nice, controlled slide but I wasn't expecting it at such speeds. Again, does this sound common? Is it down to the tyres or do you guys find this with the Michelin tyres too?
3. What's the biting point when the slide turns into a spin? Is it progressive? Does it just turn on you or is there any warning?
4. Sports Plus tends to keep 1st Gear for what feels like AGES if you are going slowly! It's embarrasingly loud too crawling along in 1st gear. Presume this is just because Sports Plus is used more for when making progress.
5. I can connect iPhone to PCM via Bluetooth but when I plug my phone in via a charger then it stops playing music. I think the connection in the glovebox is a little temperamental and it stops charging / connecting. Will try with a different cable / phone today - but has anyone had similar experiences?
6. OPC have told me that they have installed the latest Sat Nav at my request however I can't do 7-digit postcodes, this doesn't seem right? I'll check what version I'm on (not sure how) later today but what is the latest version for 911.1 cars and can you do 7-digit postcodes?
Hopefully above are less newbie type questions, I've been around manual P cars for a while now, these autos are a different kettle of fish to me!
Oh, the sound. Did I mention the sound?
