Well, I've had my 2.0 GTV for about a month now. Not having owned one before I thought I would give my impression of it along with one or two queries
The good:thumbs:
Looks fantastic and I doubt the looks will ever date
Handles really well
Surprisingly comfortable for a sports car and, unlike some other cars I have had, doesn't give me backache after a couple of hours
Did I mention that it looks great?
The not so good (little quibbles really)
Turning circle of the Queen Mary (not really a problem but definitely noticeable!)
AC that insists on turning itself on every time I start the car or adjust the temperature - is this normal operation?
Windscreen wipers that insist on one last wipe when I turn them off. The reason I turn them off is that I don't want them to wipe any more !
An autodrop drivers window that autodrops all the way down. I have read about the fix for these but I think I am just going to bypass the system. It is just another thing to go worng and can closing the door really be that much more satisfying with the window wound down a little bit?
I have a spacesaver spare wheel which fills the boot:lol:
The quibbles I have are just that, very minor quibbles. The car is fantastic to drive and makes me smile. I am someone who likes to make my own decisions and I do not like cars doing it for me. I detest rain sensing wipers and auto lights and have a real problem with cruise control ! I like to make those sort of decisions myself which is probably why I mentioned the relatively insignificant wiper and AC issues - it's like the car is trying to have the last word in an arguament:lol:
