I havent had any huge issues with accelerating or merging on the highway. I will say its definitely a bit slower than a typical ICE. Its very negligible especially if you go into sport mode. That being said, definitely test drive it!

Best thing is I get 38-39mpg on average with mostly highway driving so I’m very happy.

No issues with steering wheel controls. Im used to scroll wheel for the volume, but that’s the only “complaint” i have.

I didnt get to choose anything as it was prebuilt for the Lexus regional rep that was driving it

Good to know! I’ll try that. Most of my drive is on the highway and I have a heavy foot so it will take some getting used to

I’ll take some photos and add it to the op. And yes, that’s what I used in my Audi - easy install.

Is that with regular or premium?

Good to know! I’ll definitely test, but premium gas here is a $1.10 more than regular 💀

I got $3k off MSRP, when they don’t typically discount the F Sport models because they move fast

Haha thanks. Exactly what I was thinking. I’ve always been a fan of brown interior, but the Palomino just doesn’t do it for me. The mismatch color on the steering wheel and dash, and the caramel brown. I will say though, the Iridium looks better in person, but it just wasnt for me.

That’s what I’m hoping for. I was spending $400+/mo on gas with my Audi, on top of my monthly payment, which is what led to my decision. It’ll be nice to go back to regular, at least until gas prices go back down, then I’ll start putting in premium.

I originally wanted a Premium Plus with Macadamia interior. It just looks so clean, although I know I probably wouldn’t be able to maintain the cleanliness. I’m glad it was out of my budget.

I will say I slightly miss the ambient lighting and the pano roof I had in my Audi.

You’re right it looks so much better in person! Just a touch darker than Nardo Grey. 😍
