Hi, everybody. I just got my new Taos 2 weeks ago. I have 2023 SEL with AWD. Color is Silver and inside is French Roast and Black. I love my new Taos. The headlights is the best feature in the car. The 19" wheel with Pirelli run no flat tires is a plus. Live it. I just got some more accessories for my Taos. 3 came with the car. The enhance rear view mirror, bumperdillo, mojo mats and luggage net. It also included VW Care 30,000 mile prepaid maintenance contract. I just bought monster mats, heavy duty trunk liner with car go block, privacy cover and hood deflector. Looking to get few more. I feel these accessories help with the car. I add car detailing, like wax and graphite coding on the paint. Scotch guard in interior carpet and mates. The last thing is I change throttle respond from gentle to direct. I change air filter from stock to H&K Performance air filter. Big difference!!! I am very happy with my new Taos.

Congrats! That's a pretty combo too. I'm considering a K&N filter as well. Not looking for big power gains but taking some of the lag out of the 1.5 would be nice.
How did it make a big difference in yours?

It should give me at least 10 to 20 more horsepower.

I just had my software updated and the drivability is great now. No more drop outs of power right when you need them most. I would like to see before and after details on the K&N filter performance increases. I'm always skeptical with that kind of thing since the 1.5 L engine can't draw in too much CFMs. I'm going to take my filter out for a short time and do some 0-60 runs. No filter = less resistance to air flow!

Now I'm really curious to see what the update does! I'm under mileage but my 1 year anniversary is in June, so I'll have to wait.
Some launch control sprints to 60 without a filter could be a fun way to test!

What does the throttle change to direct exactly do?
