I thought I would just pass a few comments since picking up my 156 GT last week.
The first one relates to the heated seats, I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but 90% of the time I get in the car I manage to switch the heated seats on to full - hey they work quick and by god they don't half make your bum hot Not sure what the solution is but be interested to hear if any one else has this problem.
Secondly, how / where do you jack the car up, from what I understand there is no jack supplied - not even a brace :? So where is the official jacking point and what type of jack are you supposed to use.
I have also notice there is a different dash layout as well, on my GT there is a small display window for your trip computer fitted between the speedo and rev counter, I've just noticed on "rasper" photo that the display window is twice the size, is this the difference between the 156 and 200 or diesel.
Driving wise the car is spot on, completed approx 200 miles now, on a steady run it's running around the 50 mpg at 70mph :thumbup: which even surprised me, at 56 mph it was returning 74 mpg going down to 65 mpg on small inclines - not bad. The car feels very flat around the bends with hardly any body roll so you can push it and still feel very safe, steering is sharpe which makes the car feel very responsive, overall a truely fantastic car to drive. :thumbup: :thumbup:
Any way I though I would just pass on a few comments - while my backside cools down :lol:
