2 dealers that are closest to me are all posh areas so yeah i realise elsewhere i might get it cheaper, i wont pay over 1k.
I was thinking even getting it done in Scotland or Wales (presumably it will be significantly cheaper) with hotel booking for night and then enjoy nice roads  So maybe hotel = £70, 2 tanks of fuel = £130 |
is yours a manual or auto?
Mines is an auto, and I would say the numbers they quote are pretty much spot on, so it's not a night and day remap, but it is faster. I don't feel the auto has adjusted to make the most of the power, feels much quicker using the paddles and controlling the gears/rev. Hence if you got a manual, I think you will make more of the extra power.
For me it feels smoother in everyday driving, and continues the power further up the rev range when you want to make progress, where as before the power use to drop off after the mid range.
