I still don't get why everybody thinks 360's have heavy steering... I have bought PAS last week, but just because I want to make my 360 Full options, I think it steers just fine...SteveP wrote:It's ok..

You should take note that pettaw's car didn't have a sunroof atall - and the windnoise is still significant - damn gutters! I suspect the wind noise on the vid is from Pete hanging out the window at motorway speeds on the camera mic

Steve, Andy's car has the electric sunroof! However it works on a good seal. The gutters are noisy though. Indeed, it was the fact that the window was down a lot, to avoid reflection when we went past, and also to get a good view, as through the front window when we got close you'd get too much pillar! Chris, I must agree your sunroof is good, I hate the Golde ones! If only my cars didn't have the fitted sunroof in them, well the vario doesn't luckily but the 360's do.
I must however agree with Steve on the steering front here though. Andy's car without PAS seemed very difficult to manouvere at low speeds and when pulling away out of junctions, it seemed a bit of a panic to get the wheel round from a tight lock to straight quick enough when accelerating swiftly. Where as with PAS it is so much easier and quicker. It's not that you're weak, old, lazy, it's that it makes low speed turning easier, so you can do it one handed while safely observing where you are reversing or straighten the wheel a lot quicker when pulling away. I think the 300 PAS system is very well balanced, works well at low speeds, but isn't light and floaty at high speeds. A lot of these things are down to personal choice, but it does seem to make things a great deal easier.
Oh and James, for tormenting Jeroen, how did the pic come out of a cetain accessory that they didn't get as standard over there, oh yeah, two pairs of them too, on one car! LOL
You know we're only joking Jeroen!

What accessory do you mean? Can't think of two pairs of non standard accessories on one car at the moment...

Ofcourse it does... forgot about that! I think 'over the roof' sunroofs will automatically be quieter as the between the sunroof and the cars roof is mainly concealed rather than the more open seal of the golde excuse for a sunroofpetefarrell360 wrote:Steve, Andy's car has the electric sunroof!
