Definitely grumpy at the moment with a house bound 8-year old (tested positive the morning we were supposed to be going up to Scotland). But. I think the id3 is a bit shit.
It’s “ok” but the Kona was ok - and that was just a fairly cheap mini-suv where they’d pulled out the engine and stuck in a battery. VW have had years to come up with an EV designed from the ground up, but the id3 is as flawed as the Kona withiut the excuses.
Seats are horrible, side visibility is a complete liability with massive A-pillars, and I fail to understand how 2.5-3 miles/kw is acceptable when 4-4.5 was easily achievable in the Kona.
I find gadgetry just annoying, so I’m probably not the target audience. I don’t care about silly lights or keyless opening or voice activation. Get the basics spot on then tell me about that stuff.
Anyway.
