Storm Bay MSport collected

I thought I'd put up a quick post about my MSport Premier Pro which I collected yesterday. These are special launch editions in the UK that essentially have most of the options ticked. Unfortunately I'm missing out on leather which I would have preferred, but the MSport's come with alcantara sport seats which are still really nice. This version comes with the driving assistance professional option which is the semi autonomous driving and seems to work really well, certainly better than the Cupra I had before.

We chose storm bay grey metallic with the full shadowline pack, so it removes all the chrome. We really like the colour, I just need some decent weather now to machine polish it and ceramic coat it which unfortunately won't be for a few months.

I was a little worried after reading some of the posts but I have to say I'm really happy with it. We only get the 23i in the UK but it's quick enough, especially considering I can't even rev it at the moment as it's being run in. The handling is great, the ride is a little firm but I'm happier with that as it takes corners much better and doesn't lean. I've not even felt the need to put it into sport mode to stiffen things up. The steering is a little light compared to other cars I've had but it's not a big complaint and still inspires confidence. The surround cameras are fantastic and the moon roof is glorious. I also don't have any issues with the brakes, again its only done 80 miles so everything is still bedding in, but they are progressive and a decent initial bite.

Only negatives are the Harmon kardon is a little weak on bass but it is very clear and I'm sure will bed in. The infotainment takes a little getting used to but after a couple of hours with it I'm getting much more used to it. To be honest there's no real problems at all with the car, it's more would be nicer if's.

Overall I'm really happy with it and so far has been a wise purchase, hopefully those thoughts stay with me after the honeymoon.
