That's on my hit list for replacing my main car in a few years. What are your first impressions? Looks great in yacht blue.

Love it.

Nice place to sit. Handles well for a car its size, or even any car. It's not fast as it's only the RWD, but it is more than quick enough. Efficiency is as expected. Lots of toys/tech and it all works.

Short of lottery-winning money, can't think of anything else I'd rather have.

Nice, thanks. I sat in an S before Christmas, but the panoramic roof meant it was ~1.5" lower inside and my head was not happy. I need to try a GT Line soon. I'll be sad if it's ruled out due to my silly lankiness!

I'm 6'2"/3" and I'm not finding any issues with the sunroof, but a couple of inches taller, and yes, I could see why it might be a problem.

Interesting! I had the seat at its lowest setting. Perhaps I have a disproportionate torso; I always thought my legs were the main contributor! hehe

Perhaps you're like me?
I'm quite tall sat down. silly
I'm only 73" tall with 31" inside leg, so torso is disproportionately long.
I struggle with headroom more than I should.

Maybe we're the target audience for convertible family cars. I knew there must be some kind of explanation for the Evoque and Tiguan drop-tops! laugh

As a long time petrolhead (to be fair they only ran on petrol?) I've made the jump and gone EV.



Here's the Kia EV6 GT line AWD.

On day 3, I'm sure once I stop "exploring its performance envelope" it will become way more efficient.

Look at this tarmac rippling beast. Grrr.

In red as a) it was cheap and b) hopefully people won't think I'm an Uber driver, and will let me out of junctions.

Thank you!

I wanted to hold out for the space grey one but that would have been late March delivery.



And I felt like I was sofa surfing with mates cars!

I know I posted pics a few weeks ago, but now it's back from being (new car) detailed, PPF'd and ceramic coated, plus the sun's out, so;









It was pretty badly swirled after only 600 miles (no pics of that - too depressing wink ), but now it looks like this thru' the PPF, no swirls - yay!

Very soft paint according to the guy who did the work.

Oh, that's good to know. I was getting ready to get the DA on mine to deal with a paint imperfection.

Your car looks stunning BTW!

Thank you!

I've used my DA on VAG cars in the past without issue including my previous P&J, an S5, but the soft paint rumours and the curvy panels scared me off - just to easy to screw it right up......

PM me and I'll send you the link to the YT vid from the guy who did it if you're interested.
