Turned to the dark side - sorry

Hi everyone I had a choice to make. Either order a born or order an ID3. Given that the VW dealer is 10 miles away and a born dearer is 25 miles away and the fact that I pass a VW dealer on the way to my sons house in Sevenoaks, I decided to go with the ID3 because of all the shared software issues....

Re: About to Spec a car

Can't help you with the DCC as I don't have it on my car. I would not go for the pano roof although I have it on mine. It starts too far back to be worth while for front seat occupants and it's pretty expensive. And sorry, but I really don't like the Vapour (aka old tarmac invisibility cloak) Grey,...

Re: About to Spec a car

Hey Posted a few times but now looking to order a car. I have a budget. Now do I have premium paint and lose either the pan roof or DCC or have vapour grey and keep the other two.

Re: About to Spec a car

If I were in your shoes Dermottdog I would definitely go the Vapur Grey route and keep the DCC and pano roof. I am not a huge fan of pano roofs but it looks the ticket and will make the car airier while DCC will be a very useful option. Vapour grey is a nice colour and in no way a cheaper looking o...

Re: First World Problems - Which one to choose?!

From everything I've heard about the Heat Pump in the Born and the ID.3 (identical) it doesn't make much difference and it's not worth it for a roughly £1K option. I have the Pano roof and really like it. I haven't heard the Beats system, but the standard sound system is pretty impressive but with ...

Optional packs

Hi Thinking of ordering a car with Tech L. Spoke to a dealer today because I also want pilot (L) pack but he said that they weren’t available together. I find that strange because they contain different things (only one overlap of intelligent park assist). Tech L - phone charger, car x2, intelligent...

Re: Firestorm Wheels

Hi. What ELEA4 said. I like the look of the Firestorms but I’d be buying the smaller battery. Looking at the range on the configuration page, it has a bearing on the total range. OK, fair point. I have the 58Kwh battery and the Firestorm wheels (I hate the standard v3 wheel design) and I have found...

Re: Firestorm Wheels

Not sure why Firestorm wheels would affect the mileage. The tyres are lower profile so the rolling radius is the same as the 18" and 19" wheels. The tyres are the equivalent of Michelin PS4S so they are a very good quality tyre. Not an issue for me. Can you clarify? Hi. What ELEA4 said. I...
