It's the little things!

Mmmm, had our new 12/12 TD GXL AUTO for 1 month now after trading out of the 10/10 version of the exact same car. Some things are the same but one noticeable difference. This new one seems to be up on the ponies. More turbo noise, 100km less range on the fuel/distance estimate. More pickup with acceleration. Yes it may be new, but the older one had only 55,000 km on the clock and never had the feel this one does. Not up there with the bigger outputs or even with a chip, but does feel more ready to perform. Any one else had this experience or am I on my Pat Malone?
Cheers, Rick

agree, had a 4/2010 now a 4/2012 , fuel economy seems the same.
Has a bit more go, less hesitant, can leave it in D when wanting to overtake, keener to change down. It definitely appears to have more torque earlier.
