I hope the edge of the seat doesn’t get worn down to a nib 
I have the latest update so maybe the next one might iron that out. 
I had mine delivered 30/08 in South Island New Zealand to Armstrongs in Christchurch, unfortunately due to a knee repair I was unable to drive it until 16/09/2023. My first impressions on the basic vehicle: build is very good, good ride, engine, box, handles well, brakes well.
nice,are they the rocksliders? can you get your foot onto them? I see one of th NZ boys actually has INEOS1 as his number plate
Tell us about those sliders/steps! Share some photos if you can.
Beauty! Who knows I will spot you in real life but if you see someone eyeing and drooling badly it might be me48 hours in and I love it! Just picked it up on Friday after what seemed like an eternity!!
Coming from a D3, the ride is definitely more solid and very imposing feeling on the road. Loving the seats. A few gurgles and farts from the engine bay as it all beds in ….. hopefully after it’s first 1000km it will sound a bit smoother,
Plenty of ‘what the hell is that!?!?’ comments but very much a positive vibe. It’s such an unusual car it’s bound to get some attention.
Went for the rack and side steps and they’re finished very well. At over 6’ , I haven’t quite mastered a comfortable way of getting into it yet
Couple of niggles with O/S mirror motors working sometimes. ‘Place foot on break to start’ message coming on screen when hurtling down the road
Parking takes a bit more time but overall the steering is no hassle at all.
Just 6 of the IG on the road in Rep. of Ireland as of now. She’s a keeper I think

A very expensive keeper if purchased in the Republic! Great to read that you are enjoying it. That is my experience also.48 hours in and I love it! Just picked it up on Friday after what seemed like an eternity!!

If you ever been rock climbing , you will understand the need for tight fitting rubbery soles if you intend using them as a step. Even then you have to drop to the ground when exiting.
I was part of the group. We had two days of training. Our trainer Marcel from "Offroad and Outdoor"´was great and explained the Grenadier offroad features very good. The training itself was thrilling and we had a lot of fun. The video doesn't really show the tough terrain. However, our Grenadiers did a great job. Built on purpose, job done, no regrets at all! Next spring we will perform a winching seminar.A group of German Grenadier owners met for the "First INEOS Grenadier Weekend in Germany/Europe". Organised by "Offroad and Outdoor" (offroadandoutdoor.com). Even a participant from Luxembourg was there. @Jean Mercier, that's not far from you. How about it?

Hi @Stu_Barnes, shouldn't we give all meetings of INEOS Grenadier owners their own thread?
Haha this is so true, I went bouldering last night still feel the pain haha
Very cool to hear
I think it is great to build confident with you grenny and understand the capabilities and limitations with out getting yourself in trouble, which could also be fun
Imagine having to do that just to get your keys!
Indeed
yes they are the rock sliders and no good for steps, yes I purchased it over a year back

It is a mechanical connection of teethed gears.
