A week in and the ride in comfort is excellent very nice balance. If i ever go to a track (unlikely) then i'd stiffen it back up, but as a sporty family car its great.
I could not see spending 6K Canadian dollars for gold caps and a suspension that I would never realistically adjust other than once, at some discomfort under the rear of the car. (I bought a great Kawai digital piano for my son instead with the money saved!). From all the reviews, the non-PP suspension is pretty comfortable I agree the PP looks great however, but cars all look like shit in the winter anyhow here in the Great White North, and in summer I'll keep it washed, and ... it looks pretty "purty" even with out the fancy wheels, and gold accents, and much more aesthetic than the (wonderful) but lower build quality Tesla Model 3, whose greatest virtue is its battery management and higher real life range. Also I'm of an age where I feel I still need a behind the wheel instrument gauge for the basic info, and the Model 3 doesn't have it. For my son's family of 5 we'll wait a few years and see whether the Nio ES8 8 seater SUV will be coming to Canada. It seems to be pretty darn spectacular in China where they have battery swap stations! or road side recharging vans or just EV fast chargers Most people in China are in apartment blocks and cannot charge at home.
. I would have been willing to pay $2K for Brembo front brakes just alone, in gold) , for the extra safety factor as a single option, \ but would still have wanted only the 19 inch summer wheels which might not be compatable with the Brembos, although I think it probably is doable;e ) and ideally 17 inch if doable or otherwise 18 inch winter tires . The smaller the rims the better the range and energy consumption as I understand it.
However like you I otherwise have Snow White, roof bars, tow hook and mats!
I'm going to also look into some sort of ceramic wrap to preserve the lovely exterior paint. I won't drive it during bad winter weather this year, the car is not coming to me until late January or maybe February so I'll use the 19 inch all seasons, and try to order 18 inch winter tires when on sale in spring or summer or early fall. I understand the Nokian Hakapelliitta 3 are very top quality, but I have no idea where to source them. We are not allowed in Ontario to have studded tires, however, except in the far northern portions of the province.
