Heated steering wheel is standard throughout the range.

Heated seats is a V2 and above standard fit.

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Dont forget to give those panels a run across with your finger for roughness. Are those pics the car untouched, as in it doesn't get that much covering? The lack of covering there does seem to correspond to the panels roughest on our Aurora Blue Born - the doors, wings and lower bonnet surround bei...

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Well, having started this thread nearly three months ago that took a little time to catch up with all the new Born drivers in here. I am not even in mine yet. However, not for long. I am due to collect it on Saturday. Firstly I sold my ID.3 through CarWow and was delighted with the price achieved. I...

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Which version of the Born have you gone for, I have to say that to me you are getting a more expensive less well equipped car unless you have gone for the bigger battery and Boost options? (Which makes it even more surprising you've got a build date) I've ordered a 58 kWh V2 in Aurora Blue with pan...

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Well by way of an update on my order I received a call from my dealer at the weekend to advise he had a build week for my Born. Week 23!! That is week commencing 30th May. With shipping and delivery I could be looking at having my Born delivered by July!! Somewhat quicker than the original estimate ...

Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Last Saturday I popped up to Kirkcaldy to have a look at the Cupra Born in the metal as they have their demonstrator car and a showroom car now in. For comparison purposes it was handy their demo was white, the same as my ID.3. Side by side lets you get a decent comparison where you can see both the...

Yeah, I thought that too, seeing as it's a "plug-in" :D

However, had it been OSB I'd have been delighted seeing as my surname is Osborne! Oh well, not to be. :lol:

Re: New to the Forum and Volkswagen (but not EV's)

[/quote] I appreciate that but was only joking, hopefully mine will be here before long. Yeah looks very nice at night, one good looking car. I was going to order red, but at the time they didn't do it, so white was my second choice. I don't dislike grey cars but here it seems to be the colour of ev...

Re: New to the Forum and Volkswagen (but not EV's)

Nice one mate. If you're ever in Airdrie give me a shout because I've never seen the inside of one in the flesh 😂 my order is white too. No idea when it'll arrive though. I'm not in Airdrie too often but I can let you know if I'll be out that way and happy to let you see one "in the metal"...

New to the Forum and Volkswagen (but not EV's)

Hi everyone, My name is Derek and I collected my new ID.3 Family Pro Performance in Glacier on Andoya's on Saturday there. After a near 6 month wait it was fantastic to finally drive the car away from the dealer. I am sure I have a lot to learn to get the best out of the car although most seems fair...
