A little update - coming up to 1 years ownership..................
😎
As most, I have done no where near the mileage I would normally do, but the 4.5k have been a very very nice place to be!
This is a very different car to my previous XE, with it having more 'grace' compared to PR2, which was very Jap coupe ish & low down feeling.
Absolutely luv all the tech, especially the HUD - dare I say that you can have a bit of the same info overload if it is set so, mainly map information.........
One problem I had, well more app related, was after a vehicle (not infotainment) sw update I couldn't communicate with the car from the app or browser login - contacting CRC they confirmed no comms and the car should be took into 'stealer' for a TCU update..............duly booked in and TCU updated, but I later found that the remote climate/start wasn't working, as the car didn't communicate that it was safe to start, so booked in again with quite a few modules updated/reset etc - Jardine MK have been a superb 'service' dealership
For ref the latest SW & maps installed to my car:
The AWD system seems quite hard to get the actual front wheels to engage, but is 'fun' trying to get the icon to light up LOL - like that it can also tell you how the front wheels are aligned say if on snow/slippery surface:
Have not tried the 'self' parallel parking etc..............just doesn't seem right, and I forget anyhows
The HUD is very useful novelty, which I do really like.............I still get the odd message/icon that I haven't seen before popping up on the dash/HUD......
LKA does indeed nudge the car back into lane, but if you keep your hands off the wheel it TELLS you to take control LOL
All in all a vast improvement in all departments from PR2
AND Caesium BLUE is the new Kyanite! 😎
