Re: Too big
If you find yourself forced into a tight space becuase it's the only space left in the car park, sliding your seat back and opening your window makes it much easier to slide out. If you return and the original car is still next to you use the open windows feature on the remote. I find the open window (because it is frameless) definitely helps when you can't open the door too far.

I hadn't noticed this feature,is it a matter of press and hold the 'unlock' button?

Re: Too big
Yep. Likewise the windows will go up when you press and hold the lock button on the key.nd10 wrote:PAJ wrote:If you find yourself forced into a tight space becuase it's the only space left in the car park, sliding your seat back and opening your window makes it much easier to slide out.

Re: Too big
Hadn't thought of doing that. Good idea.
Should be put in the "Useful tips" section

Re: Too big
3. Day with it now and I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
It's a dream to drive, and every time I look out the window to see it standing in the street, my heart starts to beat
How often do you guys wax it?

Re: Too big
great to hear you're enjoying the car motimon.
there are plenty of threads in the detailing section on regularity to clean, a few that spring to mind are;

Re: Too big
All these recommendations to ditch the sponge and chamois leather
and yet in places like Halfords all car washing kits contain a sponge and a fake or real leather chamois. Having read most of the cleaning procedures listed in those links it becomes a right faff on. I like look after my car and other items of value in my house etc because I respect my property but I couldn't go to those lengths despite them obviously being 'best practice'. I have never heard of claying before I joined this froum either. ![shrug :shrug:](./images/smilies/shrug.gif)

Re: Too big
Yea I tend to agree with you but you can do it on the easy side. Just get one of those all in one cleaner/waxer like this,nd10 wrote:All these recommendations to ditch the sponge and chamois leatherand yet in places like Halfords all car washing kits contain a sponge and a fake or real leather chamois.

Then just get yourself a microfiber cloths and one of those super plush drying towels. Think that is what I will be doing but when I pick up my car will get it a professional new car prep done on it. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong about this.
Re: Too big
