Finally got a test drive today of an SD4 manual prestige.
First impressions when we got moving was how wide the car actually feels.
The footwell seemed quite small & could not find where to put my left foot when not on the clutch.
It also feels a heavy car, quite alot heavier than the kerb weight says.
But apart from all the above it was very nice.
The car was slower than I expected for 190 bhp out on the motorway, but just driving along normally it was fine.
There was quite a bit of wind noise from the wing mirrors.
The ride was nice & comfy, but a bit jiggly out on the dual carriage way.
On the whole it's a nice package.
Did it blow me away ? No
Did I like it ? Yes
Will I order one ? ... Probably
But not sure between ed4 & sd4
