The Cypress does look nice with the sun on it (never saw one at my dealers) The Moss grey also make’s it look a cut above the rest. Its a nice car, hope your happy with it, once you got use to it 🙂 How’s mrs GG’s hoist?
Hi @kezo The dealer mentioned that since they’ve had a couple of Cypress Green cars in (including ours), and people have seen the colour in the flesh, it has become a popular choice. We are very pleased with our colour choice, both exterior and interior.
I’ve set up pretty much everything in the car since we got home (blimey there’s a lot of features isn’t there – it’s taken a good few hours 😂) and I’ve even managed to get Apple Car Play and, more significantly, Amazon Music to work! Tomorrows job will be to plough through my 3 pages of notes that I made from the manuals 😂
I’ve only driven it 8 miles so far (back from the dealers) but I’ve managed to charge it without incident, albeit just at the default 6 amps. I might brave 8 amps next time, as that will make it quicker, but I’ll keep an eye on the plug to see if it gets warm. If that works without incident I might even try it at 10 amps the time after, but I don’t want to push my luck 😂
We need to play with the hoist a bit more. The first attempt was terrible. I couldn’t find the socket to plug it in (now sorted) and I struggled to get my wife’s feet in. However, we stopped for lunch on the way home and I realised what I was doing wrong so we’ve sorted that as well. The straps on the sling don’t seem to be set right as my wife is tilting back when hoisted. I called the company to remind me which straps to adjust, but what they said didn’t sound right so we will have to play with it until we get it sorted. Each attempt so far has been easier than the one before!
Having spent around 3 hours in the car I only have one criticism so far, and that’s the lack of storage space. In my BMW, the rearmost (widest) part of the boot had netted compartments both sides which were incredibly useful for storing things. The same spaces on the Tucson have nothing, so anything placed there will roll around, which is a pain. Door pockets on all four doors are also much smaller than we are used to. We can’t use the glove compartment for much as the fixed mount for the hoist fouls the door and it only opens about 2 inches. The only bit of storage space that is impressive is the big box under the armrest, so that’s now full 😂
