@@Birmingham_racing it’s smoother than a diesel if you can keep it charged all the time, but if you do really long miles a diesel still makes sense - you’re right though the price is up there!
Mine arrives in a few weeks - did order the exact spec you had in Matte Grey - but they couldn’t guarantee it being built this year!! Ordered it in Feb 24. But they offered me one that has been built in the Lapaz blue - so reluctantly accepted. It’s either a good or bad thing but I simply don’t see many on the road even pre facelift 2018 onwards. Which is what attracted me…X5’s, Q7/8’s and RR’s are everywhere! Looking forward to it.
@@rw3078 Lapiz is nice, especially in the sun! I definitely agree these are a rarer beast than the others, and it has good road presence. I hope you enjoy it!
@@rw3078we got a SEL in 2023 last of the pre facelift 3.0 diesel. It’s amazingly engineered, top quality and great value, and so much better than those chavtastic X5s and Q7s financed from some used car dealership by the barratt home Mafia.
Excellent review…
Nice car but I will never ever buy a car where I have to fiddle through the entertainment screen to change the climate controls.
This is the most Bentley-looking VW yet! Stunning, but they're way too expensive now. Great review as always 😀
@@DylansCarReviews Thanks! The price seems to be the biggest feedback at the moment. Looks great on the road though!
@@ItsDanLatham They've always been expensive. Same for the Tiguan!
I like them but too expensive for what they are. If I was to buy a suv it would be with a smooth 6 cylinder torquey diesel
