- 2011 SV6
Hi all,
Its been a week since I received my SV6.
Here's a list of my initial thoughts
Kilometres: 600ish
Petrol: 1 tank used to date (e10 used) + plus filled up on Sunday with 91
1- Car itself: Very responsive and very comfortable to drive. 2nd gear is a bit of a pain sometimes, but I figure I will get used to. Reverse is notchy to get into, but it is getting better.
2 - Handling, very solid (very suprised, as its my first rear wheel drive car).
3 - Seating, SV6 seats are quite nice and firm.
4 - IQ, not bad quite versatile. Only thing that could be better is another usb port so i can connect both usb stick and my iphone.
5 - speakers.. well crap. the most dissapointing thing about the car.
6 - brakes: sufficient, but feel they could be better. Upgrade options anyone? My old Passat had huge brakes that were very good, as was my Bugeye STI's Brembos, but I feel the SV6's are just a tad too small.
Things to come:
3k service will be an oil change, tint and DVD player install.
Future plans:
Upgrade to stock speakers / amp
20" Supersports or the like
Larger brakes
and cause its a lease vehicle, nothing else!
Just my thoughts, but overall, love the car!
