Love the car.
Very early, done 300km, mostly in traffic!!

Going to be out this weekend. Need to bed the ceramics and get my head around them. Test drove the irons for half a day. Very different in feel, modulation but will bed and run longer before I review them.

Else, I have a steep concrete drive way (30 degrees) which turns left and also has a negative camber so while going up, I was spinning the left (inside) wheel while the car rolled back, which I thought odd. Why didnt the e diff lock?
Everything in comfort. Will stick into sport next time. Will be entertaining when wet!!!

Yeah I have to stop before it banks and wait for door to open and then have done momentum to get out else same result every time. I assume the e diff locks based on steering angle and yaw and traction or some combination which does not include climbing slippery surfaces at slow speeds!! Def not taking her to the snow!!
