Re: New ID.3 Owner, family spec question

Just thinking back through the different models, but could this be an old 2021 stock style spec that's been registered wrongly by the dealer with so many family spec bits and pieces missing? I think if it were me, unless the deal were pretty unbelievably good, i'd keep looking around until a car arr...

Re: Winter range

First winter with the car for me with my ID.3 Max Pro Perf. In summer we were easily in the 260 mile range, but after taking the car down to the Bicester Scramble last weekend, I don't think we would have been getting much more than about 180 miles on a full charge - average efficiency on last weeks...

6 months into ownership, all going well...

Today marks 6 months since I collected my ID.3 and up until the last week, I'd say it's been going pretty well - the car is incredibly comfortable, it's airy and bright (the panoramic roof in the max makes the car feel even more spacious than it is), The augmented reality headup display works really...

Re: Does your car make you smile?

It certain can induce a smile on a nice road. It's a very reassuring car to drive (with the weight being so low down in the car & being rear-wheel drive), it's comfortable, fairly spritely, almost effortless and pretty responsive overall.

Re: Liaising between owners and VW

The only real dialogue i've heard of is with the ID Drivers Club on facebook, but even that is pretty limited at best.

Re: First year

I think if you break down your points sidehaas and whittaker52, the issues become clearer. If you are driving on twisty B roads fairly quickly and the steering is 'twitching' it is because you are not staying in lane. Solution, slow down. There are zero instances where lane assist is borderline dan...

Re: First year

I think the lane assist system has its times when it's handy and also has its times when it's borderline dangerous. After driving the car for a few months, I made the decision to disable it (well, setting it to memorise the setting from when the car was last used) using OBDeleven. The car now feels ...

Re: Considering ID.3 Max Pro

After just over 3 months with my ID.3 Max Pro Perf. I can say it's a great car. Yes there are still a few little niggles like the lane assist (which I can highly recommend doing the OBD11 trick and switching it off). I've just come back from a trip with my family in the car and it's been great all t...

Re: Did you test drive an ID3 prior to purchase.

I took a number of test drives in the ID.3 before committing to order/buy the car.

Re: Now there's a surprise

I think the big "reluctance" will be the fact some people have waited for their cars for 2 years and during that whole time were treated like something on the dealers shoe and VW as a whole just completely ignored their customers for the whole time rather than treat them with dignity &...

Re: EV Charger and install quotes

Didn’t want to hijack the thread but thought I’d ask the question. Still awaiting delivery of my elusive tour and originally had always planned to get a home charger for circa £1000 as should be fairly straightforward in my case. However I don’t do that many miles, maybe 8000 a year, possibly not t...

Re: Let’s see your ID.3 and post your positives with the car.

Yeah I'm having to long press number 1 till it's back to its position. It doesn't happen all the time thankfully, so I'm not overly fussed about it. Thanks for the reply mate. Even I expected it would be just a single press and it would just do the rest automatically, not a press & hold, althou...

Re: Let’s see your ID.3 and post your positives with the car.

Really happy with the car. Only minor gripe is that sometimes when I jump in the car the memory seat doesn't go in to the saved position. No big deal. Are you just pressing the memory slot button rather than holding the button? if so, try holding the button down and see if it reverts to your memori...

Describe your ID.3... but in 3 words

A bit of a thought-provoking topic for a Monday morning! So i've had my ID.3 for coming up to 2 weeks now and wanted to see what other peoples initial thoughts were too, but with a slight twist, by describing your ID.3 in 3 words! I'll go first, and I'll try to explain why as I go along. Quiet - It ...

What was the first setting you changed when you got your ID.3?

So other than the normal stuff, setting up your user profile and pairing it with the weconnect ID app/your phone, what was the first setting you changed on your car? For me it was switching off the annoying voice assistant in the car - even just driving out of the dealer it was kicking in, so it was...

So far i've only done the short drive back from the dealer, but so far i'm really impressed with everything the car h...
