! Absolutely brilliant, super thrilled with it. Didn't once struggle and I took it to work on the motorway and through country roads and round roundabouts and everything - engine is super quiet!
On a geekier note, it's set up now to automagically play songs from my Spotify account on my iPhone through the speakers wirelessly with the phone still in my pocket, as soon as I start the ignition... pretty swish!
Looking forward to driving home from work now
! Brilliant upgrade from my 10-year-old Smart car!
And very clever with the music stuff too, was the "automagically" spelling mistake deliberate? If not, I think it describes what you did very well and is now my new favourite word
@Rednaxela, @spud, @ZumbaQueen, @Privatedoc, @Mark D - Thanks
! Unfortunately rain meant no piccies but hopefully I can get some later today or at the weekend! You guys will be the first to know
@Clowesa - thanks! it is really awesome! haha nah, the automagically was on purpose, it's one of my favourite words too
!
@Craig200588 - thanks! yeah, I did like my Smart car but it was sort of dying... 10 years old and doing 60 miles a day on the motorway wasn't doing it much good!
@Dan, @Willowaz - Yup, I've paid for Spotify premium (it's £5/month if you're a student like me!). It can play over 3G but I sync my playlists for offline so it doesn't use all my bandwidth. Setting it up with the maps & more is dead easy - you just pair the iPhone/iPad over bluetooth with the M&M system, and then open spotify and hit play! It remembers to play from Spotify every time after that unless you manually open iPod or another music app and press play... pretty cool! It even still shows the current track and artist info too!
@SiJ2000 - that must have been some jump from a Smart to an Eos!! But I bet you're enjoying the fuel economy of the up! now
!
@Ozmosis - Definitely, it's an amazing step up! (sorry, couldn't resist!) from my old Smart car too
!
Never replied to so many people before haha! Nice to feel so welcome
! Shame I didn't get a forum sticker for my up! though
@move up! it is! it took me such a long time to write down all the names and remember who said what haha! I'd agree with that - fun but flawed! Especially when you're on a roundabout and it decides to change gear leaving you with no power
!
@Privatedoc lucky! i've only ever driven a fortwo (well, a city coupe as it was a 2002 model) but the forfour looks lovely, and i'd love to test drive the roadster! i drive past one on the way home from work every day and just stare at it...
