My honest first opinion.

Great to hear that, it was my last niggle with the vehicle. Thanks for posting.

I was hoping that the first owners would have posted their impressions too as they would probably carry a little more than mine as some may think I would be naturally biased towards the vehicle.

Totally understandable by the way so I'd take no offence by anyone thinking it.

Looking forward to more people collecting their vehicle and naturally more opinions will come out

You prob know more about this car that many owners will upon delivery. Plus you may well know more about newer cars to compare with than a lot of other folks, myself for eg.

So I'd rate your opinion pretty highly and I thank you for posting it.

On the scarcity of other reports, I'm thinking that, well ..., at the end of the day it's... a car. For some of the earliest owners possessing it might be satisfaction enough. Wanted it, got it, job done.

When I was young some of my friends and I knew all the minutiae of certain cars and moto bikes. When we'd see one parked or passing by we'd discuss and pass opinion

The (usually) older guy, or sometimes gangster, driving it prob couldn't careless about all the details. He had one, and maybe a fine passenger along and he was happy enough. No need to get into detail, the look said it all.

I have been in a fortunate position to test drive an awful lot of vehicles, from every BMW in the range over the past years to quite a few from other brands too.

The only thing that took me a little time to get used to was the amount of lock when parking into a bay. Takes a little getting used too but it's fine now.

I had the opposite problem when I first drove my Mercedes
The steering is so massively assisted at startup/low speed that I would have hit the wall or car next to me when turning out of the carpark space if I hadn't checked it just in time.
Maybe 1 to 1.5 turns lock to lock

I haven't been far in mine but agree the road holding is surprising good. However, when I first left the garage I found myself under steering on sharp corners and then over compensating to try get back on course, so I would advise a bit of caution on your first road trip. The agent did offer me an accompanied road test as part of the handover, which perhaps I should have accepted!

What's been your normal drive vehicle before this?

@Halliwell Jones Chester : Steve, thanks a lot for the driving review, and nobody of the older users on the forum will doubt that this was a honest "non-commercial" review of your experience.

I was mid 20's but I was trying the acceleration at various speeds plus a brand new engine. Not sure you'll be getting 30's but possibly.

thanks,

A fuel consumption of 10lt/100km should be reliable for diesel, right?

When driving on the road, are there acoustic warnings that indicate speed cameras?

Surely that would depend on your phone when using android auto ( or car play) for navigation and not the Ineos gps system

I‘d thought @Annee collected on the same day as @Adventures (?)

Correct - AFAIK @Adventures receieved his much earlier in the day, whereas @Annee was late afternoon.

How many cars have been built?

So its clear that production isn’t going as quickly as IA had hoped. Build dates are slipping from one month to the next, and then again. This has made me wonder, just how slowly are they building? They started back in 2022, its now nearly 4 months into 2023 and how many are out there that we...

This is great feedback, thanks Steve

so the ineos gps does not have a speed warning.

what app do you recommend for apple?

I had no acoustics alerts for speed cameras no, I was running apple car play for reference.

That is tiptop

How come dogs never get car sick?

Quick question Steve are the cars complete that your handing over ie towbars sideteps and so on ?
