Comfortable and quick shark

Ordered the car completely blind from lease plan through work. Never seen or tried one beforehand. Performance is blistering. 408bhp is plenty for anybody even at 2.2tons weight. Only options I ad at order time we’re paint colour and or performance pack. I picked magnesium metallic which cost 900£. Annoyingly is now the free paint colour. Car has ver comfortable electric seats. Literally all the bells and whistles fitted as standar. Particular call outs are the matrix led lights which are very impressive. The android os is very simple and easy to use. The throttle and controls calibration is very imrepssive. It’s so easy to drive you wouldn’t know it’s so fast unless you really put the gas pedal on the carpet.
The safety systems have been a mixed bag. Lane keep assist is well judged. Only nudges rather than yanking the wheel. The collision avoidance has had quite a few false triggers and can be quite scary.
Auto lights, dimMing mirror and cruise control all very good. Auto wipers are a poor implementation.
However a lot of these systems are changed on a regular basis by over the air software updates which has seen a regular set of improvements over the three years I’ve had the car.
Efficiency has been poor. 155miles in -5c winter at 70mph. Best ever 230miles in summer.
I’d recommend the heat pump option. Mine doesn’t have it.
