I recently realized every English schoolboy's dream and bought a 2025 Plus Four. Looked at a 1995 Plus 8 but it was too rough a ride for my 81 year old bones and the very smart dealer suggested that I should try the CX Plus Four that just happened to have pride of place in the showroom. I was hooked. I am getting used to its little ways and the automatic transmission (we are in the US), but as an old fellow, I have to wear hearing aids (Phonaks) for moderate hearing loss, and they just don't go together with having the top down. Other members of forums have recommended putting them on mute, but most HAs still keep the microphones switched on, which defeats the object. However, my audiologist added a mute program that I can easily switch to, that completely cuts out the wind noise in the microphones, but lets external sounds still get through, although at a lower level. What a transformation, and driving the car with the top down is now a delight. Hope this is useful to other seniors with childhood dreams.
Hi, I am recognised as profoundly deaf and have the Phonak hearing aids, my audio man sent me the APP so I can "tune" the aids and create my own programs on the hoof with my good lady driving - i.e. boosting the higher frequencies and limiting the unwanted lower ones. I have three such programs and it really is very easy to do.
I do have a 1999 Plus 8 on dual Sports exhausts so that program I label "Calm situation 1" as it's my happy place, stiff but well performing suspension on 55 section tyres you are fairly well immune to the potholes that abound on our poverty stricken roads and get to hear the V8 in full song.
Phonak Audio L90-RL are my models.
