So where are all the first impressions? (right here)

[McPharmer II]

Just want to report, that we´ve finished our third holiday trip with more than 1000km oneway.
The Grenny is really suitable for long distance, as long you have a gas station within 500km. So no problem in Europe.
Wether my wife nor my 2 kids complained about any uncomfortable seats.
Until now the car was always relaibable.
The first fear to go in a longer trip with a all new car gave way for some trust into the car.
My only additional workshop equipment for the trips is a OBD-Reader.
Big advantage of the Grenny as a german in the UK is, you´ve been treated with lots of consideration when driving left-hand.

We carry a roof top long range tank when leaving suburbia, especially towing. 450klms between fuel stops is not always achievable

All these Grenadiers that are now on the road and hardly a few words put together describing first impressions. Photographs are all very well but we want to hear how it makes one feel. What is ones impressions compared to recent journalistic reviews. We are hanging on every word but unfortunately, no words are coming through.

First impression: YEAH! WOW! So proud!
After driving it for a 30000km's:
- that active steering on the road: only experience it with tyre pressure a bit low (yes, factory settings are a bit low for steering in a straight line without correcting) Just increase the pressure a bit and it needs almost no corrections.
- speedometer above 50kmh indicates speed 4kmh faster compared to GPS speed
- on avg fuel consumption at 100kmh on cruise control: 12.0 - 12.4 liters/100km
Specs: Sela Green Grenadier Fieldmaster (Car #256) running RON95 fuel on KO2 tyres

How do I feel after those 30000km's: YEAH! WOW! So proud!

I noticed active steering while on the road, especially when my wife drove it. She had a hard time keeping it centered and she did a lot of minor swirving and corrections which made it a bit unstable for her. I on the other hand didn’t have this issue as I’m used to driving it at highway speeds. I had my tires set at 43 psi for this trip. While driving around locally, I keep it at 38 psi.
