Got the car back from the shop this week, only complaint is the face of the selector knob for the RNS850 (dead center of the dash) is now missing. The work to the outside of the car was well done, paint is well matched. Perhaps a bit easier to do with Pure White.
Also took it to the mountains for the first camping trip of the year, it really punches “below its weight” in terms of fun in the hills and twisties. I am not into off-roading, and coming from GTIs and an Alltrack my goal with the car is “Big GTI.” Excited to get B6’s and Cayenne GTS springs on, and hopefully the GTS rear sway as well. Also need smaller wheels the 21’s are just too big.
I can also stretch out and sleep without curling into a ball! It takes an angle, but the missis a tiny ball in the corner.
computer calc’d 25.7 mpg over ~500 miles, highway + mountain roads. Really not too bad for a vehicle its size, my Alltrack’s lifetime average was 28.
granted, I could put 87 in my Alltrack, and my Touareg drinks $5.99/gal diesel
