Default Test drive 450h f sport (UK)

Just back from a test drive in the 450h f sport, WOW what a car I thought myMK3 450h was nice but this car is amazing.
Same colour as I have ordered ( grey ) but this one had black interior were mine will have Garnet (red ).
I was a bit concerned that the f sport with 19” wheels and low profile tyres would give the car a hard ride, and I feel it may be slightly harder than mine but I think the stiffer body may have given that assumption, it was only when I put it into sports + that I really noticed the firm ride.
I set the m.p.g to zero before my test drive, travelling only 9 miles, 2 miles on a 70mph limit and achieved 39mpg, not bad considering I don’t really no the car.
No rattles heard, as quiet as a mouse.
Has electric folding mirrors but no auto (boot ) trunk, and the lines on the rear parking camera did move when you turned the wheel.
Was told my delivery date is 5th July but I won’t hold my breath as 2 weeks ago they told me it would be mid June.

Yes, these are really impressive cars. Glad to hear your test drive confirmed that. Re: Sport +, I use it all the time on our rough Dallas roads and the ride really isn't that harsh. It just feels "right" in that mode! Early congratulations on your new car!
