Default Sprint Booster on trial

I have now been testing it for a couple of days, and am seriously impressed ?

I was very sceptical at first,and am currently still testing

This is my own personal view so far

Firstly there are no safety issues in traffic
and the car does not lurch forward

My car is an MY 2007 auto 350
with paddle shiftand it makes comfort mode seem like sport, and sport feels like the M button on BMW

What it does is allow you to more easily exploit the power available without pushing your foot to the floor obviously this is achieved by amplifying the Drive by Wire signal with no flat spot on accelerator pedal

No slow in traffic or parking issues

It has completely transformed my view, and is just like having a supercharger with totally linear power

On 100 mile trip in S mode i am averaging 28.5 mpg not too bad with far smoother auto change

acceleration has virtually no lag

This wasnt true before i had it fitted

Progress in general is more rapid no downsides so far

It does cost about £200 but the instant kickdown and rapid progress makes it worth it

If anybody else has used it would be interested in their views

I have no connection with the Company
