Yeah that's what I was thinking. Some people are sticklers about it.

I have an old co worker.i can check with. Let me ask him

Great timing as I'm making a video that has 3 pros and cons. My big question for you will be are you looking for something a bit more spirited ? Like sporty, handles well, and gives you some adrenaline? Or are you looking for comfy, quick, and quiet?

@@Emadifications I usually like a noticeable difference between eco/normal and Sport; the Stinger GT (which is what this will replace) and Mk7.5 R (stage 1) had a good enough difference (you and I have had very similar vehicles over the years haha I call you my “car twin”). The priority is definitely to be comfortable and tame when not in sport mode, though. For example, I chose the RWD Ioniq 5 instead of AWD because that was good enough for us nowadays.

So when you put this in a sport mode it does change the shift points and power output but mine doesn't have adjustable suspension so it stays the same basically the whole time. My biggest complaint with this car right now is the transmission is very sloppy. It's fine when you're driving it very conservatively around town, but I'm starting to feel some jerkiness at downshifts even in comfort mode. Now this may be an issue with my specific car, but the transmission is just not snappy. I've heard that the TCU tune makes it slightly better but I don't think it's worth the $1,500 because nobody said it's really good. Therefore, as the spirit of car to me the limitation is the transmission slop. I'm going to get a transmission fluid service done and reset done and see if it helps, but I'm not sure. The amg's act completely different. Their transmission shifts very snappy and is awesome and makes all sorts of cool noises. Reminded me of my s4. This shift speed is about the same as a stinger gt, so you won't notice too much of a difference there. But if you're looking for adjustable suspension, my model doesn't have that. it's an okay balance of performance and comfort but it definitely leads towards more of a commuter car versus a performance car. The power is there though but it's very quiet all the time and fairly tame. Just depends on what you're looking for. Let me know if you have any specific questions I can answer, instead of me just rambling haha

@@Emadifications that’s definitely helpful info! Would you classify the 2018-2020 as “spirited/sporty/adrenaline shot” and 2021+ as the “comfy quick quiet” since it went full all-terrain? I’m not looking into the AMGs since I want the jump seats for the kids and I got the V8 gas mileage covered from B7 RS4

@amercancurry I wouldn't even call the 2018 to 2020 spirited or adrenaline shot honestly. They're pretty chill cars that don't inspire a lot of sporty behavior. I feel like the new ones probably got even softer and probably have a little bit more body roll. So in this context, I would say the 18 to 20 are probably a decent bit sportier per se, but I haven't driven a new one. Reviews tell me that it is pretty soft but a little bit more powerful

Smaller than before. There was a Cars N Coffee in McKinney and Frisco as well so what was missing was a lot of the super cars and compacts.

@@OrlandoDavis-y7y haha you talking about the way I say it

@@Emadifications Lol nah bro I was referring to the spelling you used. I'm sure we all pronounce it the same haha. Appreciate the content I'm adding that aggressive lip to my '18 E300!

@RicoTheCEO_ damn where the hell did I write that?? Now I gotta go watch this. When I'm making videos, I don't pay attention to some things, and makes me look dumb ha ha

Holy crap. Literally on the sticker I created. Wtf. How did I miss that? Well, I'll defend myself and act like I did it on purpose ha ha! But seriously, you're the first person to notice and call it out. Funny part is, All my hashtags, video titles, etc., I spell correctly. Not sure what happened here. 😄

It was made by M&S. I don't think they sell it anymore. They stopped selling products in the US.

I was thinking that. I had a 1993 Ford tempo that had a speedometer that maxed out at 80 ha ha

My 2 year video should help a lot , too! Thank you!

For this red S4? Nah I never did. Just a new diffuser. Ended up selling this car not long after this video.

Appreciate the comment! And there's times when driving an ICE car where I miss the convenience and instant power, no tranny shifting of an EV. I think I only like gas cars if they're manual now.

@@Emadifications it's dreadful when I go to drive my truck after driving the ev6 lol. Waiting for the torque convertor to lock or waiting for a trans to downshift on the highway when I'm looking to pass someone.....it hurts. The truck's 400hp and 400ftlbs of torque are great except for by the time I get to those figures, the ev6 is already gone. We'll never go back to not having at least one EV in the house. I really appreciate you bringing up the convenience of the daily driving experience. Lots of people jump to performance but that's only a part of the daily driving experience.

Yeah that's a good price! That's what I was referring to, they're a solid deal used! Congrats!

I get nightmare when I hear/read 826/Palmetto I evade that like herpes

German?

Haters gonna hate on here. I love mine, too.

Yeah replacement tire is on the way but I have a 800 mile trip in the next week and don't trust it sadly. I may go back to stock wheels and tires till after my trip

Ah thanks for the kind words. I agree ha ha but KZfaq is a finicky animal. Appreciate it!

I like some kias. And agree with the second half. Ha ha !

Wow!! I can honestly say without those features and for that price, I would never ever buy it. I would never even consider it.

@@Emadifications I stand corrected, it does have HUD, 360 camera and ADAS features. No seat ventilation or massage and no clarity on remote car features. The cost is still the same - $90K. EV6 here costs $85K too. They both are in same price bracket, just that EQB has third row for once in a while "use case".

Thank you!

I love the matte. It looks perfect and still new since I installed it in this video. Still no fingerprints or anything. It's great!

I just did my 2 year video, too! Hopefully the production and all is better. Check it out and thanks for the nice comment!

The hardware is great. But the tuning is meh. I've made it work for me with software on my phone and now it's solid.

@@Emadifications What kind of software is that? For setting up the EQ or what kind? I am unhappy with mine aswell and looking for help :-) Nice video btw.

@@Julez1989 i did a quick video on it. It's called Poweramp. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqthisec0LC0qnU.html

Thanks for the kind words. XC40 is a great car. I drove one recently and thought it was a good one. I'll attempt to answer your questions below: 1. I refilled the coolant, and have driven over 1k miles since and it has not dropped at all. 2. Yes, i actually made a video showing 2 car seats in the car. They fit very well. Rear seat room is good in this car. The limiting factor is just head room compared to some other cars but thats not an issue for rear kids (or me, since i'm 5'8) Video link (you can find it on my EV6 playlist): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oct5dpuj1bvQoY0.html 3. I assume Smart Cruise Control refers to adaptive cruise or where it matches posted speed signs? If so, yes, those are options in the Wind with Tech or above trims. 4. I did one time. Works just fine, although some people get confused about what the light represents on the port and think it's not working. 5. I believe i covered the fake engine sound in my 1 year review, and honestly i dont use it. Ever. Under 25mph, you get a light hum and that's enough for me. after that, my music is usually blaring or wind noise covers most of it up. It's a gimmick, but one that i appreciate, just dont use. There's only one sound i like, and that's the "Dynamic" sound. 6. Funny you bring up the carscanner app. that was actually a chapter i was going to have in my video but for some reason it completely slipped my mind. I am going to check it this week and do a quick upload. I expect between 98-99% hopefully. 7. I did the wheels and aero very early in the ownership of this car, and based on my driving habits, i wouldnt notice. this is a city/errand car for us, so it's always usually charged. In my usage, i did not notice any drop. Was there one? Likely, potentially so unnoticeable that well... i've never noticed. My range numbers have always been the same, and the wheel size i chose is the stock size of the GT - Line wheels, so it's nothing crazy. Could i be losing 5-10 miles of range? Who knows? But i def dont notice. Hope this helps somewhat.

@@Emadifications thanks for the reply! I found your other videos and watched through some of them. Good stuff.

I don't know enough to fact check all this, but you may be right. 🤷

Let me find out. And yes, it's clean

Man! I appreciate it! I wish it would hit an algorithm or so.

Lowered it on springs and new struts but there was no drop. Pretty disappointing so now I have some coilovers coming that hopefully fit.

@@Emadifications I'm looking to make the ride more comfortable actually.

You can see it around the 4 min mark on this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZudZM-Wsq_DeIE.htmlsi=axL_VKN3sk2jMgWY

@@Emadifications thank you!

Yeah they were returned immediately.
