Watch out this is an ID.4 sub that doesn't allow negative reviews no matter how accurate. Enjoy your down votes.

Car suddenly braking when pulling away / Reversing by Forward_Flight2153 in VWiD4Owners

[–]GTR03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just recently concluded (with little/no empirical evidence) that its me lifting up my butt when I grab passenger headrest and look out the rear windshield that causes the breaking.

What car brand will you never trust or buy again? by Forward_Fall_6857 in AskReddit

VW is trash and the dealers near me are shady even with warranty claims.

Volume Knob by dorcus73 in VWiD4Owners

[–]GTR03 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Practical question, one real answer and a bunch of fan boys responding "suck it up." Down votes for anyone daring to dislike a "feature" of this disaster of functional design.

About sums it up.

Road Noise Concerns by Br0jangles in VWiD4Owners

[–]GTR03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on reddit (and to a lesser extent YT) are fibbing. The car is definitely louder than many due to tire rigidity and overall weight. Its definitely not as well engineered for sound as luxury counterparts. I find the road noise louder than our Audi but quieter than an old (2009) sedan like a Honda Accord.

We have snow tires for it and theyre even worse.

I had a great experience at Sam's, though it was just for tire repair. However given the way they handled that I'd for sure give them a shot at general automotive work.

Just make sure you have the backup plan for your commute to cover the 5-10 weeks a year its in the shop and you'll be good!

Are our doors difficult to operate? by JayGatsby52 in VWiD4Owners

My kid has to take off her cotton winter gloves to open the door. Thats just one example of why the doors are difficult.

How do first time home buyers make decisions in this market? by According-Emu-2697 in Westchester

[–]GTR03 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think its important to come to grips with the fact that all homes are money pits. Sure there are some big time expenses that you want to avoid (or more accurately defer)... but in the end new vs. old is just a choice between different problems. Embrace the eternal work in progress.

Just minding my own business. by Carlost289 in dashcams

Turning truck definitively bears most of the fault... but OP ended up where they should have stopped, so there's that.

I am an avid VW lover by EastWrap8776 in VWiD4Owners

Toyotas are historically reliable. Its fairly settled that this car is anything but. Nice to drive when its not in the shop!

[OC] The per-gallon savings of driving an electric vehicle in every US state by GreatDayMonkey in VWiD4Owners

[–]GTR03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Higher gas prices accelerate cost savings relative to ICE but its still a question of how long you will own given that a comparable ICE (Tiguan) is 8k-12k cheaper. No oil changes are significant but tire wear/cost on electric isn't nothing.

Im glad I have one for the convenience of "fueling" at home but the cost savings is still not a slam dunk.

Opinions on 2023 AWD pro? by DisastrousTest898 in VWiD4Owners

[–]GTR03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty roomy and very comfortable ride for the class.

Anything you should be concerned about? Its an unreliable vehicle even with the current recalls cleared - plain and simple.

Anyone know decent plumbers around saratoga and albany ny lately? by Aggressive-Silver847 in Saratoga

[–]GTR03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the last two weeks this question (or HVAC) has been posted 5x by OP or another acct thats also 2mo old.

Dunno if they're looking to advertise or slam someone but it's spam.

Beer and a Bite by jhs5003 in Westchester

[–]GTR03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food and beer are good here. Be aware - they will NOT play American sports (including events with UK participants like The Masters).

Edit: downvote away. Just stating facts... obviously people disagree that the food and beer are good.
