The ride is smooth and it corners VERY well for a SUV! Just wish I could open up that 3 litre..... have to run it in for a bit first.
Looking forward to a 6 hour trip to Alnwick on Saturday |

Regarding running in, they suggested taking it easy (no kick down, no hard acceleration, etc) for 1,200 miles and then increasing after that. The manual suggests max 93 MPH and revs below 3,500 - however I think this is generic information that may relate to the petrol engines??? All I can say is that even while running in and taking it easy, the performance looks promising! You are going to love it! And of course running in doesn't prevent you from going round corners quickly! |

Same kind of itchy waiting here too... I was told my 30D was being prepared for an Australian Compliance plate here in Perth, but no date was given as when the delivery could happen... |
