The dash speed limit display continued to show the speed limit in km regardless of what side of the border I was so when I went North, in a 60 zone it was showing 100 inside the red circle. Did you experience different results?

The test car was a 1st but they’re not available anymore so trying to figure out what trim suits best. At the risk of sounding stupid, is the Business trim only for commercial customers? And is the Style not available anymore? I’m testing an e-Niro and possibly an ioniq tomorrow. I feel like they’ll pale in comparison.

There's a display in the infortainment under Vehicle which shows the remaining days until a service is due, other than that there doesn't seem to be any limits

DrPhilG wrote: » I believe that a 3 year service pack at €18 a month gets your 2 year service, which wouldn't be worth it, but also gets you wipers any time you need them, and one set of tyres if you need them (which I definitely would). Given that a good set of tyres would run you about €400 easy, it would probably be good sense. I'm waiting for the dealer to confirm the pack details though.

ewj1978 wrote: » Yep, you don't have to go back to the same franchise. Both my cars are bought outside cork but are cork franchises for service.

Silent Running wrote: » Today's interesting discovery with the ID.3. Today I was driving on the N25 between Wexford and New Ross, I'm sure many of you know the road or a national road like it: well marked, wide lanes, good hard shoulder and many good long, straight stretches. I was happily running along at 100kmh using Travel Assist, just nudging the wheel with my knee every 20 seconds or so. I noticed two Motorbikes side by side in the hard shoulder up ahead so I took the wheel and drifted the car from the centre of the lane out to near the centre line to give the bikers a bit more room. When I let go of the wheel I expected Travel Assist to take the car back to the centre of the lane but it stayed out near the white line. Hmmm, I thought, I wonder... So I drifted the car back in to the yellow line and let go of the wheel, it stayed there! I repeated this a couple of times (empty road) and the result was the same. Travel assist seems to keep the car where you want it to be. After starting in the centre of the lane by default, it can be set to run near the right or left edge of the lane. I find this incredibly useful, as sometimes I just want to potter along at, say 95kph and let the people in a hurry blast on by. This was always a problem in the e-Niro as it sat in the middle of a wide lane and I ended up knocking the Lane Follow off.
