Take two about my Mk2 (Fridge White, Manual): 1220 kms on the clock and first inspection and oil change made after 1100 kms.
I'm already getting along better with it, and overall I'm very satisfied with the car.
Actually still too lazy to customize the dash screens, that are exactly like they were since delivery... (shame on me!
)
Starting from the ADAS, then, I confirm that I'm living quite well with them, even better than it was with my Mk1.
Maybe it's my dealer who, knowing my very bad attitude with driving alerts, set the volume at the lowest possible level for all of them.
The only annoying one (loud beeping and quite a strong action on the steering) is the LDA, that unfortunately is turned on at any engine start, and I need to turn it off at any start: click on Settings, long click on LDA, and then another normal click to unselect it. Then three clicks on the esc button.
First of all, after swapping the summer tires with winter ones (on OZ Rally Racing wheels) the good news is that the cars stopped pulling slightly to the right, hope it's just tires-related then, and then it should be easily fixable.
Manual gear: The more I use it, the better is the feeling. It requires a bit stronger hand while changing, but it's very robust and firm, and I never found any resistance to shifting even under strong power or deceleration.
Brakes: this is the part I'm more perplexed about by now. The pedal requires a much stronger force on it, particularly in the initial part of braking, and much more than on my former Mk1. From what I see, all the braking power is still there, and by pushing hard on the pedal, the car stops quickly and in very short space, but I'd like to know from others who own an Mk2, or who tested it, if it's something they felt the same way as myself, or it's just my car that need some checking on them.
Steering: after some kms at the right speed on the right roads, I'm feeling much more feedback from it, and I can already appreciate a slight upgrade with respect to the already good one of the Mk1.
Ride and Handling: I confirm it's firmer than the Mk1, and I always get the impression of being lower and wider on the road. After the first kms with a bit more push, I can tell that the original spirit of the Mk1 is still there, even if a bit hidden by added layers of firmness. It sure will take more of this to have a definite idea about how much I like it, but i can already say that I'm liking its new balance quite much. In a few words, I feel it being a bit more sharp than the Mk1.
On the other side, I have to acknowledge that the Mk1 it's still the most quick-to-having-fun car I had so far.
Engine: I still need more kms to understand better how to get the best push from it, and the same thing happened to me initially even with the Mk1. For sure once I take the torque curve from the right point, the push is incredible, almost overwhelming, and way stronger than it was with the Mk1. But driving it as a Mk1 doesn't take the best out of it, because the torque curve is more evenly distributed, and I need to remind me to use more of the rpms span to get the best from it.
Fuel consumption: The ECO setting is really a great addition to the car for the relaxed trips. I got easily to 35 MPG on my highway trips at cruising speed around 130km/h (80 miles/hour), against an average of 25 MPG in my Mk1 in the same conditions.
I got an average of 20 MPG when pushing more on twisty roads in Sport mode.
Yes, a bit OTT but does have better ergonomics, display, trim, economy, gear change and practicality and is fun to drive.
