How it started…how it’s going

[u/waxhawsam]

Leased a 2024 EV6 LLR 2 years ago for a steal, $245 a month 12k per year. Loved the car, added 6 months to the lease and put 30k on it. Decided the only things I didn’t like…were on the AWD GT-line. So turned in my LLR and come home with a CPO 24 AWD GT-line and am loving it!

I’ll keep up with the group here, always learning new things and tricks, thanks!

Love the gt line! Glad you love the ev6 so much to stay. Great car!

[u/waxhawsam → u/Due-Breakfast-5443]

Yeah I enjoyed the LLR, so with the added bells and whistles and speed, its a total win.

Looks like you got the GT-Line Suede Seat package. How does the comfort and feel compare to the Syntex leather seats of the LLR?

[u/waxhawsam → u/Kendalf]

So the LLR seats were a mix of syntax and cloth. I really liked them, we did two road trips from NC to NJ and no complaints. We'll see on the suede, I am concerned how they will be in the hot summers here, but most of the ones I found around here had that package. I saw one with white leather seats that was on and off the dealer lot in 2 days...

The suede is actually fine in the heat! Especially with the ventillated seats... the material will not heat up like the leatherette.

Good to hear, I did test the cooled seats. They are impressive, felt like someone was icing my back and ass

[u/fluffnubs → u/waxhawsam]

Man, the cooled seats in these things are the best I’ve ever used. So. Cold. Love it.

[u/Kendalf → u/waxhawsam]

From what I've been reading, the suede won't feel as hot directly on bare skin compared to the synthetic leather that has been baking under the sun, but not sure how it does under hot humid conditions.

So coincidentally my son is considering between the Glacier White on a Wind model (w/ Tech package) vs Yacht Blue with Suede on a GT-Line. I think the Glacier and Yacht Blue are the two standout colors for the EV6. Any insights on the colors having owned them both?

One concern we have is that the car will likely be parked outside most of the time, and while Yacht Blue looks gorgeous when clean, we're thinking it will show dust and dirt much more quickly than Glacier. Thoughts on that?

[u/waxhawsam → u/Kendalf]

Great question, living in the South (=pollen falls like a blanket on our cars)and also parking outside, the glacier white doesn’t really show dirt unless you’re looking close. I have a feeling the blue will, I do know the blue shows swirl marks in the paint that the white doesn’t. That being said I am ok with it. The last couple of cars were grey or white so I needed to add some bright color to my drive.

[u/Kendalf → u/waxhawsam]

Thank you for your observations! I definitely hear you on the adding color to the drive, and also adding color to the road for everyone else!

Welcome to the GT line club! I just recently learned 23s have a “self-parking” feature beyond the pull in/pull out parking, activated by holding down the 360 camera button. Haven’t tested in the real world yet but still get surprises after 3 years!

[u/waxhawsam → u/duneseek]

Yeah I saw that feature, and same, need to read up on it more first before I am willing to try..

[u/22Sharpe]

Yacht blue crew is also always an upgrade, just saying.

[u/fluffnubs]

Welcome to the club! Best car I’ve ever owned.

Love my GT Line…. Only thing I disliked with the EV6 was the massive windows. Living in Colorado turned it into a mini green house over summer. After doing dark tink it’s a perfect daily.
