It’s always good to have a fall-back-plan. Hence us driving the GTE even though the ID3 objectively ticks all our boxes. If either gets removed, we still have a backup.
Certainly hope that neither gets removed though – i’ll talk to our guy at VW on monday again, see if we can get the GTE for 2 hours and drive it all the way home and back (100 miles ish). Then we can compare the consumption against our 1.5 DSG Ateca (45mpg on that journey), the ID3 (2.2ish miles/kw in worst case scenario), curious to see how that works out for us.
If we get over 70-80mpg on that journey in the GTE assuming we’re allowed to do so, it’s probably gonna be the GTE.
