Here finally my new cosmic blue MANUALTURBO! I took delivery of the car last night after waiting for 3 weeks + 1 week for registration. Pretty good considering the average is currently 3 months!
The first impressions are extremely positive on build quality, engine, transmission ecc..
This morning on the first ride to work i had a fuel consumption of 5L/100Km, of course this is possible only with an extremely light foot and following the indications form the dash green/white lights, which i was very impressed with, they are really useful to understand how to improve your driving efficiency. Very welcome on the manual version.
I did not find any of the assembly problems common on the early chinese cars: inconsistent sealant over welds, bad door and hood gaps, thin paint with orange peel..... The factory improved a lot!
I found the following differences compared to the American version:
-HDMI port : I tried to connect a tablet but apparently nothing happened
-Taillights have a shorter LED strip to leave room for the rear foglight on the bottom
-6 speed MANUAL gearbox!
-Different cupholder and armerst setup
-Trim is similar to the american EX, but there are some differences
-Trunk badges
-No sidemarkers, clear indicator lens
I added carpet floor mats, door sills with logo and i have on order other small accessories. This weekend i will take better pictures with the camera and add some other details. Very happy!
