@MFillingham I absolutely get what you are saying. I haven’t ruled out an EV and would agree that the Hyundai ones are far better value and well equipped as standard. I had a look at the Ioniq 5 & 6 when taking my daughter’s Hyundai in for a service and have to say I didn’t like the look of either of them – outside or inside, but I admit that’s personal taste. I’ve bought Hyundai’s privately for one of my daughters, and go in my mates Santa Fe a lot, but I’m not convinced I’d be happy to pay £12k plus advance payment for one. I agree that they do EV technology better than the premium brands, but the interior quality just isn’t comparable IMHO. I’d definitely be interested in a Genesis though as the interiors of those looks excellent. For balance, I sat in a top spec Tucson though and whilst I don’t like the exterior, the interior was pretty good.
@kezo that’s exactly my point. Plenty of ICE tiddlers but poor choice for those of us who have to have bigger cars, especially if you are after something of decent quality.
@mitch I remember the scheme having over 4,000 vehicles (it wasn’t that many years ago actually) and that was already cut back a lot from where it had been. I believe that it may have been over 6,000 at one time before the Daily Mail article that resulted in all the top end stuff being culled.
