Hi MIB. Your car looks stunning - the same as mine Very Happy
We went for the same colour and wheels - interiors are different though.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying mine - 1 week now.

Any thoughts on ride, handling, comfort and noise?

Hi Grah, thanks for your comments, the ride is very good, very flat with no noticeable body roll, i did find that the steering takes some getting use to, has somewhat of a different feel.

Comfort is A1 with lots of adjustment on seats so easy to get very comfortable.

Noise = only at 70 did i get a very slight wind noise from the mirrors, Engine SD4 is very Quiet for a diesel with some clatter on start up, it soon settles down to a very acceptable level when warm with no transmision sound. Very Happy hope that helps

2.5 hours for a handover? Heavens. I'll be aiming to keep mine down to 10 minutes.

RE: Todays The Day

Thought you might be Wink Hope your doing well.

I've ordered. An Orkney Grey prestige SD4 Auto Which should have been due Nov, now Dec so a slim possibility that it will turn up this year.

Looking forward to hearing how you get on with yours.

Do you still have the XK? I sold mine due to not using it very much over the last couple of years, sad to see it go but put the money towards the Evoque which will get used daily.

Cheers

Dave
