It is easier to notice a downgrade in performance than an upgrade. Also with an upgrade you will never use it fully when trying it out - you will need to be in a "fear" situation to discover the extra power.

I've just returned from my jollies having racked up 1,409 miles in a week. Motorway, Scottish hills, Country lanes etc. A damned good test I think. The car's fuel economy over the whole trip has been 41.4 mpg, despite Polestar saying the upgrade won't improve economy, this run causes me to say otherwise, it has improved from a consistent 37 mpg. I topped the tank up three times and recorded each trip mileage. Each fill up figures tell me the car has given better fuel economy figures. One event which has convinced me I won't be having it taken out is when I popped an over take going up hill. It made me laugh. Pre Polestar the D5 manual was good, but it is now better. IMO, these figures can only get better as the car's engine continues to loosen up.
