Well, l wasn't disappointed !
I thoroughly enjoyed the 160 mile drive home !!
Unfortunately, as it was late afternoon when we started the drive home, dark was setting in, and with the weather seeming to be against us, the first part of the journey, apart from getting used to the car, was spent discovering the town and country side of the handling. A great introduction to the car. Quiet, comfortable and with light, but solid, handling.
The final 100 miles was motorway/dual carriageway. Chance to check out the higher speed handling, and the cruise control. My first time using cruise and, once I got used to it, I couldn't get enough.
All in all, I am well impressed with my S Type and I'm looking forward to many years together.
There were a couple of minor issues that I will probably seek advice on, but nothing to put me off !!
All the best to anyone who reads this.
Regards,
John
P.S. R2e, you're dead right about the sat nav ! Not needed especially when you have a smartphone with Google maps !!
