I love the updates for 2023 for the most part. I think this will be my next daily driver. I currently drive an Audi S4 and take my 2 boys to school just fine, but they are getting bigger and glad to see you have enough knee and head room in the back at 6'. I'll pick one up CPO and probably get a blue one with the black interior with blue stitching combo they do.

I like the facelift, but I think the Pre-Facelift looked much better, it was cleaner and had a more confident but aggressive front end and no unnecessary styling elements, just looked incredible, drove fantastically, in short, almost the perfect sedan. The Facelift looks good but the Pre-LCI was better, just in my opinion.

I am pretty sure the transmission was in sports plus mode when you thought it was in comfort mode at 12 minutes. I think the only way to have just the transmission in comfort mode is to use sports individual. It's hard to see but I think the display shows sports plus rather then sports individual? If it's in sport + everything is in sports + as far as I know.

@Jennifer-zq2wi Жыл бұрын
