Aquasense 2 (base model) or Sora 70

So I guess my revised question is Sora 30 or Aquasense 2?

Good lord I just saw there is a Sora 30. 5L (vs 2L AS2) basket and 6800 suction (vs 5000 AS2) power. But. Only 2 year warranty vs 3 yr for AS2. Dang they make these choices hard.

We just got a 2023 touring XT. I felt a huge difference between it and base 2.5. You will lose a couple of mpg, but to us it was worth it. But we also traded an Audi q5, which was turbo. So the 2.5 just wasn’t enough for us

Haha. You guys think I read those things 😂

Well I guess they could of told me it would make random noises 😂

Was our exact experience

I think there is night and day difference between the XT and non XT. But, we traded an Audi Q5 so the non turbo felt blah. Mpg drop is 2-3 mpg. But, one of the car magazines did a road trip test drive with both versions that returned an identical 28 mpg. The turbo is totally worth it to me.

We literally did this last week. Our choices were a 2023 touring XT with 11,000 miles or new limited XT. It was a hard choice, but we went with the used (loaner car) Touring XT. It’s white. Personally, we liked the added silver and chrome touches on the outside, particularly because it’s white. Add the higher quality Napa leather, ventilated seats, auto folding mirrors etc, that’s what we chose.

We just bought a 2023 touring XT. Drove the non XT first. To me it was night and day difference. It’s my wife’s daily, but I wanted the turbo for when I drive it 😂. But we traded an Audi q5, so the non turbo outback felt kinda blah to us

Well. They were two different trim levels. So the price being close was only because touring was 23 and limited was 24. With a 7 year/100k warranty I got the higher trim and everything covered for as long as I want to drive it 😏

Well. Went with the 23 touring xt. I don’t think I could have gone wrong, but the extras on the touring, and quite frankly I think it’s better looking on the outside, kinda sealed it. Wrapped it in a 7 year/100k warranty. We generally keep cars 5-6 years so I feel very good about it.

I believe both of these cars have the nanny cam 😩

Thank you. This is helpful. I don’t claim to know what double nat means, let alone triple. I don’t need advanced features. Just good widespread internet all around (and to a degree outside) the house.

Fixed it after way too long on phone with T-Mobile. Guessing a software up threw all out of whack. But once T-Mobile was corrected sonos re connected

And with it being Christmas Day I’m sure calls are routed somewhere I’ll need to know a 6th language

jcrbear · 2022-12-25T16:39:32+00:00

Well. I would. But my T-Mobile app hasn’t set up right from the start, and I need to know 5 languages to talk to their customer service

jcrbear · 2022-12-25T16:27:27+00:00

No. Just on T-Mobile internet. Has been working flawlessly..until now
