Hi From Over The Pond (As It Is Commonly Referred To)

Hi All

 

Having just found out that my registration has been activated, I would just like to start by saying Merry Xmas, Happy New Year.

 

And send special thanks to akirby and robertlane for help in sorting out my registration problems.

 

Just over a year ago I purchased an Edge Titanium with Lux Pack option. Have had a fair few issues with car until it went in for some warranty work (oil leak from rear diff (basically)). I think that whilst it was in, the on board computer system was reset, thereby correcting most of my issues.

 

I will be taking it back again soon for more warranty work, but was wondering what your thoughts are on this car over the pond, as in good, bad or indifferent?

 

The biggest gripe of mine at the moment is the sat nav, telling me to take the sixth exit at a roundabout (there was only three exits on the whole roundabout, lol). Also telling me to take the third exit off another roundabout (this was a 'T' junction, what ever next I wonder).

 

Don't get me wrong, I am still really enjoying my car, even after just over a year of ownership.

Hi Chefduane

 

My Edge is a right hand drive with manual gearbox, never really been a fan of auto gearboxes.

I never researched this but I don't know if we can get a manual here in the US. I feel like there isn't much room down there for another pedal with the funny left foot rest that protrudes out the floor.

I've driven right-hand drive in the UK on the other side of the road and it took some getting used to, but I don't think I'm coordinated enough to drive and manual shift with my left hand also!!

 

Have to admit, these were my feelings too (though the opposite way to what you experienced), until I was sent to France for 2 weeks by the company I work for. I was given a self drive hire car from the airport (left hand drive manual), I found this easy enough to drive, but had to really concentrate to stay driving on the other side of the road to avoid any problems.
