Back in the world of diesel again, albeit temporarily. It's an opportunity to try out the newer menu systems which blend analogue and digital together in the car control systems.
However, it wasn't a brilliant schema. The obvious thing would have been an easy way to change the language from Italian to English, although it was buried under about three menus depth. Then a way to easily enter a destination. Similar story and finally a way to orientate the map to point the same way as travel.
We figured it all out eventually, but it didn't set a good first impression, especially as after stopping the car, it all reset to the original settings and had to be programmed in again.
I remember when BMW advertised their cars as 'the driving machine'. It felt more like the software engineers diagnostic machine, and for once I could understand what these Top Gear boys had been going on about.
Anyway, we are in the world of Chianti now. Maybe there will be another novel in it.
