Thread: Choice to make SE or HSE ?? Comments please

SE all the way. You don't get a lot for another $10000. One thing I have noticed is all the dealers spruce up the TDV6 so that it costs just as much as an SE with no more features but lacking the more powerful engine. Unless the HSE was an absolute bargain buy the newer car. Factory warranty is the only way to go.

One thing great about my 2015 HSE is the sound system. Although not a digital radio, the FM sound is close to excellent, the base has some punch, and the mid range is crystal clear ... I have read some criticisms of various sound systems, they change the specs a lot ... but the sound system is a real HSE treat.

I don't see the point of electric seats if they don't have memory, you might as well just go with manual seats on the tdv6 and option up where you want it

I find manual seats incredibly difficult to adjust because I have some joint problems and weakness in both hands, so electric is the way to go for me, memory or not.

Fair enough, the world is full of opinions, it'd be boring otherwise

Sorry I can't hear you over my sound system

The problem with the manual seats - which is what the standard TD comes with - is that they lack front height adjustability. They have very limited adjustability.

What this means, is that when you raise the seat to a higher position, the seat angles progressively forward. If you put a level gauge on the seat, as it raised, it would tip forward. This may not be a big deal - except that, when it pivots forward, a gap is created between your lower back, and the seat. So if you raise the seat, you progressively loose small back support. This becomes extremely bad ...

So ... if you have a tall body - from waste to your eyes - then you will likely not raise the seat. So, the TD is just fine for that. But if you have long legs but a short body - you will likely want to raise the seat. Buy the SE then ... or get a Ricaro ...
