I've loved owning my car for the 16 months I've had it. Nothing remarkable in that and I'm sure other owners feel the same. However, I'm prompted to post in praise of it today because last night it made me so glad that it's the car I have chosen to drive.
I had a 150 mile round trip on the M3, M25 and A1(M). Traffic was OK and all drivers were being sensible (unusually for the M25 - there are normally a few idiots who insist on making it dangerous for everybody else), but the weather was appalling -driving fine rain and blustery winds the whole journey, with frequent pools of water across the whole carriageway. I wasn't particularly looking forward to the drive, but it was a necessity. However, despite the awful conditions I felt so safe in the car. It felt truly planted on the road and never once faltered through all that surface water. I cruised at mostly 70 mph with the odd stretch at 80.
I was relieved to arrive back home finally and very satisfied that I chose such a well-engineered car. It is shod with Continental contisports by the way.
