Not to make it even more difficult for those of you waiting for their cars, but I finally managed to take my P90DL for a good spin, including errands and a 40 mi RT highway commute in stop and go traffic. Here are my observations:
- The usability spectrum of the car so to speak is phenomenal: super quick off the line (doh!) but also a gentle cruiser with TAAC on. Planted yet comfortable, a true all around car. I feel like it may be less of a speeding ticket magnet ("may" being the operative word...) than other fast cars on the highway. Not so sure about potential reckless driving tickets when launching it from a red light one too many time though. I guess you can't have it all.
- I feel at home in the car right away. I had taken test drives over the years so was familiar with the layout, but it just fills right from the very first mile. And yes, it's big, but not as big/a pain to park as I had read.
- I like the minimalist feel (ie no door pockets etc). That will force me to streamline my crap anyway.
- TAAC in stop and go traffic is reasonably smooth, but can/will get smoother. I am still puzzled when the car starts accelerating when I signal a lane change too. I get the logic, I will need to get used to it a bit more.
- I tried AP this morning on the highway and honestly it feels like a gimmick at this stage, at least from my very limited experience with it.
- Max regen is easier than I thought. I forgot it was even on after 5mn.
The only thing that bugged my at first was the stereo (I know, right?). It really felt too centered around the driver's windshield base and lacked fullness and depth. After doing a bunch of research, there are a lot of threads on the topic (so it wasn't just my ears...) and there are non obvious ways to work around/with it (as in turn dolby off...), so make sure to research this if you're first less than impressed by the set-up like I was.
Any other findings from folks having picked up cars with this thread or MS veterans that can educate the newbies
