I am still at the hyper careful stage with Fifi. Jim had more dings and dents than I could count, but I knew where his corners where.

Fifi is pristine and has slightly different sight lines (especially when reversing  scared2:  ) so I am treating her very gently.

This will change  eveilgrin:

Yarp, I'm still not entirely confident where the nearside of Kia-Ora is... It has a much higher waist than the owld Panjero....  redface:

You've got a reversing camera tho...?
New cars is a bugger like that.  Can't see sod all where the edges are on either the Rav 4 or the turbo nutter.  And neither has a front facing camera.  Still dead pedestrians can't sue can they
Well, whatever, nevermind

I found the air con today. Black button on a black background  ::)

First thing I did when I got the owld Panjero was set the climate control to 230 and Auto... It was still set to that when I sold it 16 years later.

I've done the same in Kia Ora although the 'stat is a bit different and I've had to tweak it to 24.5...
24.5?   eeek:    Either 200 or 210 for us
Well, whatever, nevermind

A good point about pedestrians...

Kia (and Hyundai) seem to have dumped 'auto park' (which is the coolest thing evah but Miss A never uses it on her Hyundai) in favour of 3600 camera view...

I wonder if there have been a few casualties while the 'driver' was watching the 'now select 'R'' display intently...?

Autopark is shite

Use it once (on the T-nutter) successfully and it's more than a little disconcerting how aggressively it moves the steering wheel.  If you make one tiny error in the sequence to select it then it won't work and when I tried to show it off it was happily aiming for a cone it hadn't spotted

A geekerism too far

Miss A is right on 360o.  Mrs K's previous car had it, yes you have to keep cleaning the forward facing cam lens but it's just brilliant. 
Well, whatever, nevermind

T-Nutter has a CD player - never used it so for all I know it's bust but good to have it just in cases like.
