Happened upon a local guy at the filling station who has a Limited, I'd once seen him before I bought mine and followed him home to have a look! So it was good to see him again and be able to show him mine. He'd been a bit put off the Rebel owing to the red interior but having seen it he liked it, also he was envious of my bonnet and wheels. It confirmed I'd made a good choice with the Rebel
.
He has 22" OEM rims on his Limited and I think his dealer had changed the tyres for a chunkier off road sort, I should have checked the make/size but they looked too wide for the rim (the polar opposite of stretched) and they had started cracking on the side wall near the bead
. That was with 10K miles since December.
Unfortunately there wasn't much time to do comparisons, he said his air con was very good, I should have got in his and tried it. He hadn't opted for a UK map on the uConnect as his dealer had quoted a really high price so he's going to see about getting that done elsewhere. Also he said his MPG was much better than I'm getting but he probably drives longer distances and is perhaps a bit more reserved than me.
Couple of firsts for me: popped to the vets this afternoon for annual jabs so left the windows rolled down a bit behind the window visors to let a bit of air in, that worked well. Later on got caught in a monsoon and had to have the wipers on top speed.
