    I am unfortunately cancelling our lease in the megane and motability have been excellent about it. But like you, I can only find cars that tick most boxes… not all. Honda ZR-V is my choice ATM but I can’t get used to the looks and I am wondering what we will feel about it in 30 months time for example…. no idea what to do ?

    what was wrong with your Megane? If I remember right it’s the same as the Ariya underneath.

    nothing,  it’s been perfect. We absolutely love it. The issue is my landlord who had given verbal permission for a home charger and then changed their mind!! Although the winter range is terrible (not just a megane thing I know it’s all EVs)  …..only 140 miles I got a few weeks ago when -1°c which means I need to public charge regularly as I do a 170 mile round trip a few times a month to see my elderly parents… been using a granny charger for 3 months now and I just don’t trust it and public charging is proving very very expensive!! Double the cost per mile in comparison to a frugile ICE car.  But with a home charger it would have been perfect.

    We only ordered it on the 13th of August and was told 31st Jan 24 for delivery. Then they called a few days later saying that a vehicle was available to pick up on the 1st September. We stupidly accepted it knowing the charger would take a few weeks for the paperwork! We live and learn
