Long Day

Setting of at 6.30am this morning and not long being home at 8.30 i can honestly say that although we have driven for nearly 400 miles in the i800 today I really do not feel that bad.  The seat has been surprisingly comfortable, normally I spend the first 10 minutes after getting out of a car after a long journey walking like a duck! but not today which is very good news for me, and something that is honestly quite a rarity.

I had plenty of time today, as Gary wouldn't let me drive (pay back for me hogging the Santa Fe last week lol), to get use to the i800 as a passenger.  The heating controls yet again were great, with separate settings for front and rear, left and right everybody was happy with the climate inside the vehicle, which considering there was 7 of us today this was nothing short of amazing!

I was a bit lost as to where to put the iPhone/iPod as you can see ...............

It doesn't fit in the only available pocket, which I'm now assuming is for maybe loose change. But putting it in the next available space results in leads over the dash which to me just looks messy .............

Found the concealed cup holder useful

Although if I'm being picky you cant just push your cup down and the arms stretch open you have to use two hands one to open the springy arm and the other to insert the cup, this may though ease with use.

The space in the i800 is brilliant, theres not many cars you can sit and read a Sunday paper in your seat without interfering with anyone else.  Our children today have been great, and I think it was down to everyone having there own space in the car.  Would need to fit a DVD player somewhere in the vehicle for long journeys, surprised actually that this was not included.

The weather yet again needed a lot to be desired so lunch resulted a quick bite in a lay by (oh the glamour!) Although there was plenty of floor space I did lack table space.  A car which I previously owned had the glove box compartment lid that came down straight with cup holders inserted and a small flat surface, this would have been a great feature for the i800 to have had, same goes for the backs of the seats, a simply tray that pulls up with a flat surface and a cup holder, these small changes would have prevented us from having to sit with lunch and drink purchased on our laps.

All in all a great day with, I'm sure, the i800 playing its part in keeping everyone in the family happy.
