Reading it back, it sounds like I don’t like the car.
Overall I’d give it a solid 7 out of 10.
It loses marks for cost (but I understand why it’s expensive), long range comfort and quality but these are all subjective things.
I would buy one again and am in the process of shopping around for another one for my mum.
Let me know what deals you come across @Sumo

Nice ok. We're looking at a second hand one, probably 2021 spec for ~ £25k. We like the idea of paying slightly more up front for a car that costs less to run and won't fall foul of future ULEZ/emission zone changes but there's a definite budget limit. It seems all new EV cars are on a year old waiting list or at very least December minimum so going second hand is fine and it saves a bit of money. We were looking at the VW ID3 first but my partner has done a test drive in both and prefers the Zoe, which is also cheaper. My main concern is charging networks and how well it'll do for longer journeys, we're moving to Manchester and driving back to London will be fairly common for the first few months while things get worked out. But even the much more expensive EVs don't seem to have significantly more range and it's hard to know what a claimed 200 miles really works out to.
I'm probably slightly more generous than @Soul having come from a 13 ys old s-max in comparison.
Range - yes about 170ish. We recently did a couple of trips to Brighton area and 90miles was about 60%.
Mostly we just potter around locally in it.
We have the more basic spec, but I'm still delighted to have dab radio and to be able to link my phone to listen to podcasts, so all seems shiny and modern to me! Android auto just works well.
It's a small car so space is limited, but I've had my 3 grown up kids in the back (for a short journey). The seats are not long journey comfortable.
But it's really fun to drive, easy to live with practical little car. We love it.
