  1. It tends to show on the display in the middle of the instruments. There's also the option in the settings to swap it as well.
  2. As a small extra to your original post (if its there, I could not see it), do you think the Enyaq works as a main family car. I'm asking as an Enyaq/id4 or similar would replace my superb and be the large family car for long trips/holidays.
  3. Good review and its certainly giving me a few thinking points about what I may order. Almost all car digital assistants are rubbish. I even have Google voice on android auto playing up on my car every so often, randomly thinking someone has pressed to voice control button or said hey Google. Surely the washer jets can be adjusted to hit the windows better? With the Ioniq 5, if you fill the boot of the Enyaq, don't bother. The boot is a lot smaller, and you can't fit a roof rack to it either (its the same with the mustang mach E). I looked at one yesterday and the dealers response to those questions were to get one with a towing hook and buy a trailer to carry the stuff that I can easily fit in a Superb hatch with a roof box.
  4. I would be able to fit a home charger, but it's more for topping up with a trickle charge at work so I use their electricity rather than mine. Just me thinking of being a cheapskate really. That was my thoughts, and working out as well. Work for me is a 40 mile round trip so it would not cost me anything in electricity for the ti.es I could do this. the other question is how much would you have to use it to be worthwhile compared to just using a home wall box. Probably quite a lot.
  5. I was looking at getting a 3 pin plug cable if I get an Enyaq and I've got a question for anyone who's used a 3 pin plug cable . Have you used one to charge the battery a little to keep it topped up at all after a journey? As in you drive to work and plug it in there just to get the miles back during work, but you only need to trickle charge it. Or is it just a waste of £200 to save £3 a time in trickle charging.
  6. Sorry, but I have a boring, sensible reply. Studies have shown that people respond better to a female voice when passing on information, while a male voice is better for an instruction/order. London underground use a female voice for the automatic station and for most pre recorded announcements (nicknamed Sonia by the drivers, as after a while the voice get Sonia nerves) But Mind The Gap and some emergency ones are a male voice. I guess VAG decided to use female voices for that reason (as well as most other Satnav voices as well)
  7. If its anything like the previous version of the infotainment, when it asks to type in the address, just do the postcode and that should work. I gave up on the built in satnav long ago and use android auto for most of my directions.
  8. The engineers build in safe limits into the engine specs for reliability, but some of it is to give difference between versions. It also allows them to cheaply bring out a new and improved bhp on the facelift with just a software update. I don't fully get the claims of better mpg, with a remap as surely a higher std bhp version of the same engine would also get better mpg, and that rarely the case. Depending on the engine, there may be many different power options used for the same capacity. Again, it helps save money to use one engine size for different power options rather than having a 1.0l, 1.5l, 1.8l, 2.0l, 2.3l, etc. Take the vrs 2.0l tsi engine. Its has been avaliable in at least 210, 230, 245, 272, 280, 300, 310 and 320 bhp off the top of head. With the higher outputs, there may be stronger internals and a better turbo, but the basics are mostly the same. For some of them the difference is only software. The 280bhp version used in the superb is the same as the 310/320 bhp version used in the Golf R, so a remap will give you the same output on both engines (around 350bhp)
