Silicon Silver HSE Lux
Just got back from three weeks in France with the new motor and I absolutely love it.
The engine feels and sounds like it has more grunt than my D4. Ride is great and the car feels more planted on the road. 22" wheels give it a bit of a harsher ride over bumpy surfaces though.
Over 1600 miles it's showing 29MPG although I could have improved on that if I didn't have such a heavy right foot
Loving the colour and it does a really good job of looking clean, even when it's not. The same can't be said for the gloss black trim on the dynamic exterior.
I didn't spec the car with steps this time and was a bit worried as our youngest is only 3 years old. Auto access height works great though and he can jump in and out with no problems.
Inside the car looks and feels really luxurious. I didn't spec the dynamic interior but the car came with it by mistake so that was a nice surprise. The silver trim around the gear selector is too shiny so when the sun catches it you can suffer a bit of temporary blindness!
I found rear visibility to be quite poor - nothing at all like the D4 which is a bit of a shame.
Still getting to grips with the huge amount of tech in the car. Lane departure warning and the automatic road sign recognition were both great cruising down the quiet motorways in France. Cooled seats are amazing, as is being able to start the car and cool it before you get in!
The kids loved the RSE. We've only used DVD's though so I need to sort out some content to put on a USB.
SatNav works as good as any I've used before but I'm not a fan of touchscreens. The wife has a Merc and the wheel system in that is far more intuitive and a lot safer in my opinion as it requires less attention to operate.
