Hey People,
Decided to share my experience after only 1 month of ownership:
- no complaints about the car in general
- everything works as it should
- dcc and matrix lights are recommendation, in case you have doubts
- consumption: 8,5-9 ltr/100km mostly around town (90%) and the engine is still running-in (1000km)
- longer drives are expected soon
- driving: car feels very comfortable for my taste (especially in higher Comfort setting); power delivery seems fine and there is enough power for my driving style and age
- DSG - had no experience previously, but I like it very much. Quick gear changes, no jerkiness, kick-down works really fine
- Driver attention monitor - is very boring
- Comfort (mhev) mode driving: some people said that there is certain hesitation and wierd feeling once they try to stop the car...and this is true, as the system is working like that. If you are inexperienced driver it could be maybe even dangerous. Once going downhill, you put your foot of the accelerator, it shuts engine off and kind of accelerates (because there is no engine breaking). The car is trying not to engage engine practically all the time and in every ocassion. It def. needs some time to get used to it and to learn the system. But, if you don't like such way of motoring, the resolution is to engage Performance mode.
- Performance mode driving: mhev is not engaging (or I don't notice) and the car tends to keep engine in higher revs, mostly changing gears at 4k rpm. This driving mode better suits me.
- Individual mode: just set everything as you like and go...I use it all the time.
Let me know if you have any Qs
