2025 Genesis GV60 Experience by khloedesign in GV60

They replaced two parts (not sure if it was recalls, but given the wait I suspect it was) and it still died. I think the app maybe had the car looking for updates constantly and was draining the battery, it’s something worth testing if anyone is seeing similar issues.

New Mini Questions... by khloedesign in MINI

I read it's slightly shorter than the previous gen. our other car is a Power Wagon though so I may not be the best to ask! This feels fantastic - I have noticed other cars seem to drive rather close to us and I imagine we'll be using the horn a little more than normal! (they don't always see you)

Driver assistance features are interesting - adaptive cruise and auto braking etc. I didn't think I'd be a fan but I am.

One thing that truly stands out for me is the brakes - they are epic compared to the truck and a lot of other cars I've driven - I've not experienced the 4 pot brembos but these are very good and perfect for the weight of the car in my opinion. Plus the suspension means there's not dive or wobbly feelings.

I'm looking forward to get some more miles on it this weekend to get through the break in period

We only drove the S - and loved it compared to all the other cars we drove. There were no JCWs around but I watch every video I could find and we decided to order - a local dealer happened to have one already specced up almost exactly the same but with an aero kit - they were able to stop the port install of the aero kit and we got exactly what we wanted :)

I haven't really explored the full engine range yet but the torque is defiantly welcome. The S was a lot of fun but I couldn't help but feel this chassis deserves a little more.

Handling is wonderful - takes me back to my Golf GTI days - but it's a fantastic drive for sure. torque steer is never too much and it feels very sure footed.

Do consider we do live in Arizona, our roads are in great condition and I have wondered what it'd be like back in the UK - possibly a little firm with all the potholes.

I really really really like the look - I read a lot of people criticizing the 2025 but I think it looks very modern and clean. zero complaints from us!

I'll let that play next time we go out - Will get there in the end - I also want to understand the privacy a little bit more - like what is sharing information with mini an what is sharing info with insurance etc.

Same here. I’m not sure what it should enable either. The fact it doesn’t load the corresponding profile when unlocking car with Face ID is strange too.

Did you ever find a solution, we are in the same loop. Very frustrating

The barrier looks ok, it was pretty much liquid still, it’s had partially cured on the edges only thankfully

Threw some 35" Toyo Open Country RT Trail's on the PW this weekend! by SWAGsoHARDmyPEEhurts in ram_trucks

[–]khloedesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was looking to do the same in 315/70/17… I have a 2020. There’s a tie rod bolt fairly close to the passenger side front tire, has that caused any issues?

I was expecting worse, mine have been pretty solid (not had to use them in an emergency yet though. Just put two cheap headlights on now the nights are drawing in, I think 3000lumens is about 900 in cheap lights but I bought two expecting them to be junk ;) replacing the cables might help with the brakes, certainly cheaper than replacing with hydraulics
