Thanks for the kind words!

Also would like to see your views on the new dash
The new dash is pretty good but really it's not a lot more than the original.
You get a main central dial (revcounter or speedo) the smaller right hand dial (speedo or revcounter depending on mode) and the smaller left hand dial which can be configured to various things like phone, media etc.
It's effectively the screen that used to be between the dials for the menus .
But I have one issue already.
In normal mode you have a nice big speedo with fuel/temp guages and a digital speedo underneath the speed limit sign thing.
As soon as you put it into dynamic it swaps over to have the revcounter in front of you and the speedo on the right.
Maybe someone in tech thought people only used dynamic on a track so didn't need a speedo in easy eye view?
:roll:
I drive in dynamic all the time so I'll have to get used to reading the speedo on the right.
Might sound trivial but it's annoying.
Salesman couldn't see a way of changing it and nor can I but maybe a future software update will gives us more options.

Great looking car Phil. You'll have to let us know how it compares to your old XE S
Probably because it's a new car but in dynamic it feels a fair bit more supple but given a few miles it may loosen up.
First thing I have found is that the 380 has a bigger exhaust than the 340 out the back.
The bore of the rear pipes is bigger and so are the chrome trims.
The cut out in the valance looks bigger and a slightly different shape too.
I haven't noticed any difference in sound though as it's still just as growly as the previous one.
Still barks and pops if you give it a good blip!
But certainly it feels a fair bit more "eager" in the engine dept.
Bit like a 340 that has had too much coffee!
