Thanks, Mr Appleman. You put my mind more at rest that I’ve chosen the right motor. One of the car magazines described it as a “slightly detuned GTi wearing a posh frock and high heels”.
I also considered the ID3. But found it a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, even the car salesman said that he felt that VW have not got the electric thing quite right yet. Few year to go before they’re as perfect as VW customers come to expect. Agrees with you then!
