I've had my Ghibli for about 2 months now, but haven't driven it much for various reasons. But today I drove it from Manchester to Sheffield over the Snake Pass. For those that don't know it, The Snake Pass is a famous drivers road, now somewhat ruined by lorries and a 50mph speed limit. However, this morning, I had no traffic all the way across and could really enjoy the road and the car.
What a car. Mine's the diesel, but in Sport mode, still very quick. However, what struck me for the first time today was how good the chassis is, and how composed, how quickly and accurately it turns in, and how it can be made to flow from one bend to the next. I have driven a lot of theoretically quicker cars down this road, but I'm not sure I have ever felt that I have done it quicker or with more fluidity or composure. A truly memorable journey, and one that has really helped me to bond with the car. I now can't wait to drive it again.
