1 day with the Enyaq 85x

24hrs since I collected the Enyaq !  So far my initial findings are,

1. Lane keeping Assist – Pain in the bum, can’t be turned fully off without using ODB11, however on software v4 (new Models) there’s a shortcut on the main menu screen for it so 2 taps to deactivate it (until the next journey)

2. Advanced pack/Canton sound system.  I paid the extra £2035 for the Advanced pack, the HUD, matrix headlights are both very good. Canton system not so much, poor bass and the subwoofer is barely noticeable.  With a previous Honda CRV turned up it would give a feelable punch to the bass and even make the rearview mirror vibrate!.  On the Enyaq all it does is add a bit more bottom end, even with the bass and subwoofer turned rght up.  Certainly wouldn’t have paid over £2K for it if I’d had the chance to hear it before buying.

3. Exiting the car/Sound system.  With my previous Ateca opening the door to exit would switch off the stereo saving your neighbours ears late at night!, if I remember correctly there was an option to have it turn off as soon as you switched off the engine as well. Enyaq doesn’t, it waits until you have left the car before switching off meaning the music is playing with the door open.  Nothing major just means I’ll have to turn it down before getting out late at night!
