One of the things that caught my eye was the numbers and the fuel gauge icon next to the clock display at the center of the dashboard. I guessed that it showed the remaining distance one could go based on the available fuel in the tank. When I refilled, the figure goes up. After RTM today, my suspicion was confirmed. However, it also said that it can show the fuel efficiency since the last time the trip meter was reset. After playing around with some buttons, I think I got it to reset, but the display changed to that for fuel efficiency rather than remaining distance to go from existing fuel in the tank. More RTM needed.
Various people commented that the car had a really high boot. Well, coming from an existing SUV driver, it ain't no big deal. But I began to compare the height of this car with other sedans. I think it seemed higher when compared with smaller cars, but if you put it beside a BMW or Camry, they are of similar height.
This gentle giant also has excellent lumbar support for the driver which should make it a very good car for touring. However, you will need to use a very heavy foot to navigate the intense and fast moving traffic in the North-South Highway should you decide to bring it up north. And this could then take away the fun from a relaxing long drive.
Do you know that the drink holder divider on the center console behind the gear shift can be removed to turn it into a big storage area? If I put my drink container on the driver side on the center console, the height of the bottle would obstruct my gear shifting. I have to put the container either on the front passenger's side on the center console, or put my container in the container mold on the driver side door.
And do you know that the glove compartment is so big that it actually has two tiers, with another separate section on the upper tier too so that smaller stuff do not roll around. Very cool!
Let's see what we'll find tomorrow...
