Hmmm...maybe I'm getting old, but I think I prefer the standard A500! (I can hear the gasps of astonishment!)
Maybe it's just my personal experience with the same car before and after, but it just doesn't seem to feel as stable. Seems to roll a bit more in the corners too which is the exact opposite of what you would expect. Probably just me tho!
Apart from that it's awesome. The frantic acceleration is great and you can really suprise a few people who think it's just a little black 500 with fancy wheels! Brakes are good too, although it does induce the hazard light flashes on a more regular basis!!
Overall i'd honestly say it's one of the most fun cars I've ever driven.
Interesting that it seems to roll more...
How is the ride affected by the kit? I intend to test the esseesse when my dealer has one of his 500s fitted with it.
Have you got any pictures of the car? I've yet to see a black esseesse!
Cheers
Like I said, it's probably just me. I haven't taken it on the same road as before the kit was fitted yet. I think that may be the test for it!
It is a harder ride though (borderline uncomfortable for my tastes), but then you wouldn't be buying it for comfort!
Everything else about it I love. The power, the brakes, the noise and the suprised look on peoples faces when they disappear into the background! I'd be inclined to have the kit but keep the standard springs.
I'll get some pics for you soon.
