My Favorite Of ALL Car's I've Owned

Considering I've owned 17 new cars since 1969, some of which were premium vehicles. I have certainly had the experience of quality in my driving career. For 10 years I traveled 17 states for a living from Ohio to the West Coast in a 1994 Volvo 850, a superb vehicle for comfort and safety. I never fully intended to visit the idea of ID4 ownership until I happened into my dealer with a 2020 Tiguan SEL, another fine vehicle. I was however getting very tired of shelling out for gas with the prices steadily rising. So lets get to the meat of the matter. I took the test drive and found the following. The ride quality and ability to absorb road defects was the finest I have had the opportunity to experience including all of what Honda, Nissan, Mazda and Toyota have to offer having driven them recently. Here's another kicker. The seats were by far the finest I've sat in no matter HOW much the vehicles cost and I'm talking up to $80k cars and SUV's I've checked out along the way. They are so comfortable and adjustable beyond compare. The Infotainment system is much criticized but let me just say that once you've seen a few good Youtube video's on how to customize and use it, it's a breeze, and the sound is darned good for not being a super premium system. The details it provides on the car and all the settings you can customize is staggering but welcome. Another thing that in noted almost immediately was the choice of materials used inside and fit and finish are top flight as in a luxury vehicle. That sure won me over. Every aspect of the vehicles design and operation from the mechanics to the seats and storage is classic German engineering, not the plasticky Japanese inspired stuff. I love the nice 19" tires of my Pro S which also came with about all the added features you can get. The suspension is also remarkable in it's suppleness and also the shear flat handling in corners at speeds which I was not used to. All the safety features work so well I was able to go 30 miles on a rural highway without touching a pedal. The wonderful Adaptive Cruise allowed me to effortlessly follow a car in front of me at a very good distance, and when we came to reduced speed corners my vehicle slowed perfectly to negotiate the turns. I LOVE that brake regenerative mode to drive as I rarely need to touch the brake. It is smooth and NOT abrupt like some seem to think it should be. NO thanks this is great. All the lighting and adaptive front lights keep up with the latest in safety and competency for night driving scenarios. I love the beefy, solid and tight steering wheel and love it's accuracy with NO slop. Closing the doors provide that wonderful solid bank vault type of thunk. The auto up and down back hatch is also a real delight. Storage space is simply outstanding and the hidden compartments are a real joy as well being so cleverly applied. All in all this vehicle is flat out fun to drive and I can't wait to get into it and go somewhere. I'm using only the supplied 110v charging cord and it's all I need as we often don't go anywhere for several days at a time so it's perfect, no need for a Level 2 charging system. I can only say to drive this vehicle is to love it. It rides and handles like a dream.
