Piglet assist in outside lane of duel cartridge way.

Hi

This is a great feature. But does anyone else find that while tracking in the outside lane of a duel cartridgeway the car tends to hug left a little which of course puts you quite close to the lorry’s in the inside lane!

A assume there is no way of adjusting this?

Regards

Yes that sounds more like it.

Company car fuel

Evening All. A conundrum for you all. I have my T5 recharge as a company car. I love it, nice to drive, clever features, looks good.
