Re: 4-1/2 years of SC ownership observations Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: One month SC ownership observations, Pete ![]() |
Sun visors - I miss the double visor that I have on my 200 9-5.
Door Sounds - I never noticed any significant difference. The cabin seems to have more road noise than my 9-5, but that could be the difference between the sedan and SC layout. My 9-5 sedan is noiser with the trunk access open.
Audio system - Do you have one a system with the subwoofer? Apparently the volume is bass loaded - meaning a higher volume setting will increase the bass before the mid and high frequencies, resulting in a better sound without a big dB level change. Something about it works in a non-intuitive manner but it can sound very good.
Engine noise - Something is wrong here. Maybe a clamp is loose allowing exhaust to escape until the pipes heat and expand?
Winter tires - The Pirelli P6 tires on our 2006 scared me. Dry traction was OK, highway fuel mileage was great, they appeared to have a long life, but wet traction (or lack there of) was frightening! I switched to Vredesteins Quatrac3 tires last December and am much happier with these tires which are a direct competitor to the Nokian WRG2 All Weather tires.
ACC system - No issues, it seems to do whatever the controls instruct the system to do. Set the desired cabin temp, select Auto mode, and drive.
