Actually it was one the area managers cars for 6 weeks.

Should come with just shy of 3 years warranty though shouldnt it?

Area manager  :grin:

So when it first came into stock, all the retail guys didn't try a 0-60 in it?

I can't complain, bought a demo myself. Looking at how much tread was on the tyres after 2k miles on it, well I don't think it had a nun behind the wheel put it that way.

I know you can never tell, as some of these R's will have been driven my dealer principals, and it will have been their pride and joy and it's probably never been on a test drive; however, others will be the complete opposite.

Recently sold my GTD.

I have the standard Discover Nav in mine and it's perfectly fine. Personally I couldn't justify an extra £1k for another 3" (The missus said otherwise....  :grin: :grin:)

My theory is, if you don't test drive with a Nav Pro, the Nav will feel great :)

I've got the the Nav and I don't ever wish it to be bigger, no innuendo intended.

For navigation the biggest plus I think over my previous tomtom is the MFD screen directions, it's very cool and keeps your eyes on the road.

£1700 for Nav Pro is a rip off by any measure... especially when you consider it is less functional than a £250 TomTom

I've struggled for a while to find the slot on my daughters Tom Tom to play DVDs  :grin:

You're right it is a rip off but its something people are willing to pay to avoid having trailing wires which I personally hate and even worse still, having to set it up every time you get in the car to go.

But each to their own.

How is the nav pro less functional than a tom tom. They both give you directions to your stated destination??

Hardly a deal breaker and with the nav pro you can add speedcams locations on. The screen is big enough to see the speedcam icon in your peripheral vision. Next??
