| What I love about my new D4... |
|
got it yesterday... HSE, black on black.
here's what I've noticed so far, but i haven't done many miles yet...
it feels a lot lighter than my D3 did
it is so much quicker off the mark... not sure about faster yet, will check that out tomorrow 
my iphone plugs in to the system and the playlist shows up on the nav screen, AND.. I can scroll through the playlist from the steering wheel controls 
the phone system works beautifully with my iphone - contacts upload immediately, and again I can scroll through them via the wheel, or use voice control which seems much sharper than it was in the d3
i can set my sat nav whilst driving (not that I am recommending this  ), and there is no delay like there was in my old pal.
the heated seats have three settings, which means my bum can now be hot, warm, or luke-warm
i can't help but take up two spaces when I go to tesco (i know, I know... I hated those people too, but now I feel their pain), and I parked at the opposite corner of the car park.
it feels more comfortable... but is that just in my head?!
I wonder why they've moved the cup holders back... I might get wrist strain as I like my mcdonalds drive-thru coffees (often).
I wonder if I'll remember that I don't have to take my keys out of my bag 
I wonder if I'll remember that I have to lock the car, that it doesn't do that for you
i love the rear camera, as being a female, spatial awareness isn't my strong point 
All in all, two  so far, and I can't wait to go to Ireland in two weeks - the drive will be even more of a thrill now.

Hmm, mine won't do that... I can skip forwards and back a track, but not scroll the list. (And why doesn't the list scroll automatically when the current track goes off screen?!) Which flavour of phone have you got? I wonder if there's been an software update to make sensible use of all those buttons!

Won't take long. I keep getting into MrsR's car with the keys still in my pocket and wondering why it won't start - and that's despite having to use the remote to unlock mine!
