Upgrading:passion cpe to Brabus cab!!!!

[rushfan]

Tomorrow we get to take delivery of a new Brabus cabriolet. We'll miss our passion coupe, but I think not for long.
So far, the only brabus specific problem I've heard about is emblem adhesive, otherwise, the increase in fun starts tomorrow!!

I'm really interested in knowing how highway ride and lean in the twisties is affected by the suspension/tires vs the passion!!!! Do report back!!!

the switch is worth it, all though it would be fun to upgrade the passion to brabus after delivery, just to have a different color brabus, but it is more expensive!

It would be cheaper to change the panels on the Brabus than the other way around.

Rusfan I had an 08 cabrio orphan (15,000miles) .Sold it when my brabus arrived ,every aspect of the brabus is worth it in every way.

Don't mean to be negative on the smart, but my Brabus is a handful on the highway on windy days, and even gets upset a bit if following a semi; I can't imagine what the smaller-tyred models would be like... how can it get any worse?

Other than that....all is well, and I still have all the emblems.

Good to hear that your emblems are all intact. I had heard a while back that some Brabus owners had emblems that were letting go in high heat situations. Maybe they addressed this; not sure.
We drove our passion in to test drive Brabus, so we drove 'em back to back. Noticed big difference in cornering, larger difference at very slow speed due to power steering vs. no PS.
As for highway cruising, we'll find out during 100 mile drive home...

trekguy fiddle with your PSI. you may have the back to high or the front too low or high.

I have had my Brabus Coupe since early May and we have had record heat here in central Texas, 68 days of 100+ days and the hottest summer on record. My Brabus decals and emblems have stayed intact, thus far. I agree, tire pressure is important with this little fella. Add a little extra and the fuel economy will improve as well.

I don't think the flying-off emblems is brabus specific because I've lost my passion...







um, my passion emblem. Real passion still intact!
