Good review and I totally get your wife but in my case it was a big ugly transit for years. So I do like the cocoon/cockpit feeling of most cars now.
As for the range, mine was always poor. Some folk on here were claiming over 300 miles on a charge, I’m not saying they’re liars, but I don’t believe them lol. No matter how hard I tried I could not get over 270ish and it’s no way to live/drive just to achieve that range.
Oh mine did have a fault were there was a big gap between bonnet and front end. A quick Google told me how to fix it and it did add about 15-20 mile to my range
