Mr Capes,
Noted that CC isn't a priority - but I have a "spare" 4200 replacement stalk set with CC. Picked it up a while ago as a probable upgrade to a future purchase. The car I'm looking at already has the CC stalks though. The spare is from an Alfa 166 bought via eBay - although I haven't seen it operating the seller had good feedback. If you want it it yours for postage and a pint at The Bell sometime. No problem if not of course
- frightening to park in a multi-story - size, turning circle, visibility, clutch (QP V Duoselect) - I drive around for ages looking for a large enough space.
- visibility for reversing
- no heated wing mirrors
- poor wiper rain sensors
- 2-3 seconds check before ready to start (carwash guys always wondering what I'm doing when they ask me to move forward a few feet)
- 12 MPG fuel consumption in London
- London
- SatNav (don't even)
- parking (yes mention it again - freaks me out in London)
- Duoselect first thing on a cold morning (pull out in traffic and she nearly stalls and coughs, and lunges - ugly moment)
- the clutch in London... massively sensitised to all the moments of intense clutch wear (stop start uphill traffic jam etc)
- opening the windows when it's been raining, making a turn and getting a flood of water into the passenger or driver seat (is it designed to do that?)
To be fair residuals in the past have been great, I've never suffered on the 6 tridents. .... The GTS however has depreciated a lot in the last two years.66 posts and not one mention of residuals
Ok, its a bit big.
Describing a GTS as a bit big is like saying Donald Trump is mildly annoying....
The size of the GTS is the only reason I occasionally get tempted to change mine...
Yes, but then smaller normally means less seats. So when the outlaws come down for the weekend I couldn't even take them out in the Maserati to ease the pain.
I've never understood why no-one has engineered a rear wiper for saloons/coupes. It really doesn't seem much to ask for, to be able to see out of the back window without wiping it off before you get in. Just think how other car technology has advanced...
