    Why are all reviewers complaining about the seats not being electrically adjustable? Manual adjustment is much quicker and how often do you actually move your seat anyway? For me its about once a year after my mechanic has been in

      Lucky for you, however if you share a car with your wife then for me it's a right pain as she's 5 ft 4 and I'm 6 ft 2, so to have the ability to have the seat and mirrors adjust automatically from my keyfob before even getting in the car is great, ive had it on cars since 2008 and had a couple without it and really missed it, especially when the wife forgets to move the seat back in a carpark and you can't physically sit in the car as the seats too close to the steering wheel.
      If it was just me driving the car then no issue with not having it.

    Ive had a GT for 6 months now and I love it - sold my f10 M5 for it - never looked back - best car ive ever owned and it’s so ridiculously fast. !

      What kind of real world range do you get out of it? It's currently the only thing that concerns me moving from a Tesla Model 3 LR.

      About 220 miles on a mix of eco and gt mode which is fine for me as i commute and do the odd longer trip ! 😊

    What is the reason for omitting the electric seats that you get as standard in the cheaper model? And why no sunroof🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

      Apparently, the manual seats are a weight saving measure and weirdly the rest of the world gets the sunroof but us. 🙄👎

      ​@@SteYoungnot just weight but you could seat lower as well. I do agree that it should've been powered at least. Vents seats would've been nice as well. Like you said everywhere else has a sunroof but here in North America we don't get the nicer headlights and turn signals 😔. Kia cheapen out that's for sure.

      Used 2 years will be closer to $30-35K maybe not one year. You could get a new GT right now for $50K after all rebates not $63K.

    Nasty. Green piping, manually adjustable seats all that for £63,000. It will fall in value by several £ thousand per month.... Buy it at 2 years old for less than £30,000 and let the first owner lose over £35,000..
    These manufacturers still havent figured out that the buyers are not excited nor interested in these vehicles...
    Sell a less 'rocket' version, 30% lighter and for £25 000 and then make it eke out over 400 miles range, under normal driving in any weather condition and the people might start to take interest..

    • @volcalstone
      @volcalstone 9 місяців тому

      This is why you it's better to lease EVs right now. After 2 years you're only paying $13K instead of getting hit with a possible $30K lost in value.
      EVs aren't meant for everyone at this time. Some people like to go fast while others are fine with slower and more efficient cars. There should always be an option regardless. If you want the most efficient EV6 then get the RWD version instead assuming you don't need a heat pump. It's over 300+ of range. It will be more next year. The battery tech isn't fully there yet so don't expect 400 miles from a similar setup as this. You could always get a Telsa instead as they're more efficient than this.

      I have owned a GT for 1 1/2 years with not a single problem. It’s very well-built and I get way better range than advertised, sometimes in the high 200s if driven conservatively. I have owned many BMWs over the years and this car’s quality level is right there - and it’s a blast to drive. Crappy car? Based on what? Have you driven one? I didn’t think so.
