143mph in a Sintra are you mad
Saying that I've done 137mph in my wife Zafira (also in Germany)
The wider track and longer wheelbase of the Sintra makes it extremely stable , at any speed.... to be honest, it feels more secure at 140Mph than the Omega does..
and the commanding driving position definitely reduces the tunnel vision effect at high speeds....
We had a Zafira on Loan for a week when the Sintra was in for some work.... driving it rapidly cross country was very revealing... even the wife commented on how much more nervous and unstable it was braking into corners and how the balance was just nasty.....
The Sintra was much more like the Senator in terms of it's composure during weight transfer, and lateral acceleration.
apart form being inclined to understeer thanks to being front wheel drive as opposed to rear... but lifting off could still correct it quite happily
and in a straight line... it's like a jet propelled bus.
