My car was delivered last Sunday and I had my first drive today.  I test drove a DCT but opted for the manual, very light clutch action and it's just so clean.  Clocked up 50ks around town today and a few laps around Mt Panorama. 

My first ever new car has certainly turned out to be a good'un! PD 2 SR in Sparkling Metal with a sunroof.  Ordered in June but I feel it was worth the wait.

I was worried after reading the stereo system is rubbish.  It's not rubbish thankfully, just generic.

The thing that impressed me the most today was how easy and exact the Nav system is to use,  what a peach. 

First MOD done,  new air freshener 👍

Congrats Jonesy.

Sparkling metal really shows off the lines of the new PD. :goodjob:

The Nav system is handy for Speed Limits, alerts and avoiding toll roads, but using Waze or Google maps via Android Auto is so convenient (via voice command) - so quick and easy to select an address.  :victory:

Sparkling Metal really stands out on the PD.
My Mrs had a Kia Cerato in what they call Metal Stream.  Which is pretty much identical to Sparkling Metal..
The metallic really comes out in the sunshine.   Congrats on also going with the Manual  :goodjob2:

Good to see you chose  the manual. So many autos out there. I'm also keen on a manual. Did you have put one on order because no dealer had one in stock?

Congrat on that new car mate.  Everyday I love to get out to drive my I30 SR, :)  Old man with new toy.
