Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted October 7, 2015 how about this for stock looking?That's not bad at all. Is that a 'Toyota fit' model then, as you don't seem to need the bezel you end up with with a standard double din.Edit - just read the later post - yes it is - ignore me.... :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbynog 9 Report post Posted October 11, 2015 Hi,I agree with with the getting stuff in the boot thing, paint, rattles blah blah - but I can live with all that.Two things I dislike but I'm constantly trying to work around are :-1, the high clutch bite - specifically there are a few places on my regular commute, especially exiting roundabouts where there are bumps in the road that coincide with natural gear changes, but if you do hit the bump just as you change gear then your foot flys off the clutch and for a blink of an eye the car feels out of control - yeah, I'm learning the places this happens and am either changing gear earlier or later but when it happens when your haven't anticipated it - makes the heart beat a little faster.2, Internal storage - yeah it's not a big car inside and the centre console and glove box are OK but personally I would have prefered the door storage re-designed to take half-a-dozen cd's rather than a bottle.

Keethos 842 Report post Posted October 11, 2015 I'm sure the high clutch can be tweaked though don't ask me how exactly, as for storage space, there's plenty about, you just need to pick your storage space wisely......plus who listen's to CD's anymore? Just rip them onto a tiny 32GB stick and leave the CD's at home, you can fit a ton of CD's onto a 32GB stick like this: http://www.memorybits.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=27912 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remal 85 Report post Posted October 12, 2015 I have a few CD's in the car but use a £10 16gig micro USB memory stick and that keeps enough music to keep me happy for months at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbynog 9 Report post Posted October 12, 2015 You folks are just soooo modern,I haven't fully completed my on-going project to replace my vinyl and cassettes with this new-fangled cd thing yet.........so how do you expect me to get my head around putting music onto a usb stick?Seriously though, I don't download music - just never been my thing, much prefer a cd. (When I say I don't download music - I mean DON'T - I don't, and never have, owned an ipod or mp3 player, and there's no music on my phone.Strangely enough (or perhaps not) my son, who is 14 this week,would rather have a cd than download and he's spent the last 12 months building up a proper hifi with seperates - the icing on the cake will be a new pair of Wharfedales for his birthday. He does put music on his phone but they're all copies of either his or my cds.And he desperately wants a turntable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted October 12, 2015 You don't have to download, just rip your CD's onto your computer and then just copy them across to a USB stick, it's a very simple process. 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted November 24, 2015 Heated seats. They take way too long to warm up properly, even on the high setting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted November 24, 2015 They should heat up quickly, i.e. you should start to feel it if you put it on the 'rapid heating setting', by pushing the button down on the forward position. It's not a high position, it just heats them up. Then put them to the other position and it maintains it. I find mine excellent and use them all the time.

Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted November 24, 2015 Test drives are pretty unrepresentative in a lot of cases. It's rare you get a proper amount of time behind the wheel. As for seat comfort - I'm a short arse, but found it took me a while to adjust. I actually find it uncomfortable when I sit right back in the seat. Now I actually shuffle my bottom forward a bit so I'm more in the 'bucket'. Seems all wrong as I'm nearly slouching, but now it's really comfy. I'd rather the seat base tilted though - I miss that from my BMW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had two test drives, the first was about 20 minutes around town and the 2nd was about an hour where the dealer just let me take the car out on my own and I took it down the M11. I didn't really have any problems then. It may be that the discomfort I'm getting in my thighs is not related or just something my body will adjust to once I've been in this position a bit more, in which case I'll edit out the complaint.

I've got my door mirrors angled so I don't have any blind spot, I can see both the 2nd & 3rd lane of the motorway from the 1st lane when sat correctly and if I want to double check to make sure there is nothing right next to me I just lean forwards slightly which changes the perspective of the mirror and I can see right next to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
