Re: Preparing for move to Grandland X

Really appreciate all the help, thanks to all. I look forward to joining you all in the very near future as a Grandland X owner, I felt the more I drove it, the more I liked it.

Re: Preparing for move to Grandland X

The one they've sent me seems to have everything including the electric seats. Guess they're part of a special pack though. The mirrors angle downwards when reverse is selected and they automatically fold in on locking the car. The operation of the electronic handbrake is now far better than the one...

Re: Preparing for move to Grandland X

Thanks Simon. I'm a mere 5ft 11in but have a longer upper body, even when in the seat, I have less headroom than my Astra ST. I guess the drivers seat in my Astra has had plenty of time to soften up so that could be part of the problem. I'll try what you mentioned about sitting a bit further back an...

Re: Preparing for move to Grandland X

Just as an update, I now have a Grandland X SRi on an extended test drive. First impressions are the car looks great, probably the colour I would have chosen too, Quartz Grey. Unfortunately, I've found problems with driving already. Even with the seat at it's lowest, I still bang my head when I get ...

Re: Preparing for move to Grandland X

Still waiting to get a date for the test drive. The more I read about the Grandland though, the more I like the idea of changing.

Moving Sat-Nav listings to new car

Moving to a new Grandland X in a couple of months and I wondered if there was any way all the places listed on your Sat-Nav could be stored or copied into the new car?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Preparing for move to Grandland X

As I mentioned in my first post, I've been in different Astras for the last 10 or more years, last 5 in a Sports Tourer. I've been trying to read specifications on the Vauxhall page but they seem a bit vague. Are all Grandland X models fitted with an electonic handbrake and what form of spare wheel ...

Re: Moving from Astra to Grandland X

Simon, what a great reply, exactly what I was looking for. Never even gave the Astra seating a second thought but I have suffered with a bad back in recent years. Just put that down to me being a lazy sod and not walking any where near as far as I really ought to. Pleased to hear you sound quite at ...

Re: Moving from Astra to Grandland X

Hi, I had a Mokka X before and then went to the Grandland X. I like the Higher up Driving position and this was the main change from a smaller car before the Mokka X. I would try asking the dealership if they have any test drives where you can keep the car for a couple of days. If they want a sale ...
