So I had a chance to take the Quad out from an extended drive this weekend. About 250 miles round trip.
A couple of observations:
This is one quick car. Whether in Race, Dynamic, or even Normal mode. She’s fast, real fast.
I’m not a fan of seat sliding back what seems like all way to make it easier for you to get in and out of the driver’s side. Why I don’t like it is the seat is too far back for me; I have to really stretch to press the brake pedal to allow the car to start. I’m 5’7”. Secondly, even if the car is started and the driver door is open it will not slide the seat back to the saved position. You must close the door. So that means any passenger has to wait until the car is started and the driver door is closed for them to have room to get into driver side rear seat. I have not checked if this can be changed yet, but it’s not a good feature IMO.
I’m also not a fan of the cruise control assist. I would rather get closer to the car in front before having it slow me down, even in the closest setting. As with the driver seat, I have not checked if this can be changed yet, but not a good feature IMO. I’d like to just turn it off. This is one option we did not want but was “included” with the Quad we purchased.
Finally, we noticed more of an exhaust drone in the cabin while in Normal mode on the freeway compared to Dynamic mode. This was at 75mph, cruise control. A bit surprising for us.
Overall, very comfortable for “touring” and a great daily driver. Did I mention this is one quick car?!
There were lots of looks on the freeway and even while parked. One guy said, “Beautiful car. I’ve seen them in the commercials but never in person.” So maybe the TV marketing is working...
