Hi Folks,
Just a quick and excited post to say that I finally made the decision to move my 169 model 4x4 on, as a PX for a 5 month old new model 4x4 TwinAir, in Tuscany Green. Felt a bit like some turncoat as I did the deal, but technology has moved on a lot since I got my 2006 model and I loved the way the new car drove. It's a good spec too - Winter Pack, Auto Climate, Reversing Sensors - and has only 2000 miles on it. Looking forward to getting to know it once collected, next week.
One question though. I failed to pay attention during the drive to the ECO button and its behaviour on the current cars, which is a concern on account of the Autocar roadtest from last year which claims the ECO mode is enabled by default each time and needs cancelled. Is this actually the case? The car felt pretty good and if it was indeed in ECO mode, then it bodes well for the full fat flavour. Would someone bee so kind as to let me know what I should expect from a Mar-2014 car please?
