I just came home from test driving the Kia Sportage & Soul EV, both with stock available immediately and more unallocated cars arriving in 2 weeks.
The Sportage was nice, but the Soul has swung us to the EV camp, I spent 2 hrs driving on motorways at 75, A roads at 62 and B roads at whatever felt right & it averaged 4 miles per kw. Very comfy, better than the Kuga for me at any rate. Ride is a bit hard after the S-Max, clearly Kia doesn’t have the same suspension engineers as Ford as the two cars are practically the same kerbweight at around 1800kgs. The acceleration is addictive & overtakes on A roads are done in a flash. Given my mileage we will save between £2000-3000 per year over the S-Max just in fuel, let alone the £1500 lower AP. We will place our order this week for delivery end July.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
