I paid 30k for this car as pre registered 1 yr old with 25miles on the clock . I would have bought the Tesla if i had to pay full price, at 30k its a really good deal
a nice casual review...you did not complain about the inferior sat/ nav infotainment system 😮 (do not do any more accents)😅😅😅
My accent game isn’t great 🙄
To get full regeneration you have to shift from "D" to "B" by flicking the drive selector once more in the forward direction. Not real 1-pedal driving but MUCH more region braking. Also, if the battery is full regain won't actually work (nowhere to put that generated electricity), but its that way for all EVs.
I tried both modes but didn't seem to get as much regen as my model Y. I guess it will get better over time.
For 3 grand MORE- you can drive about in a dual motor outdated jelly mould...yup.
We all know about Tesla, I tried one, but went for the ID.5. It was the most comfortable car I had tried.
But the whole Tesla range is outdated.
Range is outdated on every car IMHO it's more about ease of charging now
I had one for about 2 weeks. First time I had driven another EV other than a Tesla for 6 years. My wife had a drive in it as well as she has also only driven Tesla for 6 years. The tech and acceleration of the Tesla is much much better. But for local school runs the VW was a better car. Smoother, better suspension , loved having apple CarPlay and it just felt nice to drive a car that wasn’t a Tesla. What I didn’t get was why it only had two front speakers??? I would get one but without the Tesla charging network it’s just too much of a gamble for long journeys.
They are both great cars, however, how many long journeys do you do that require fast charging and there aren’t third party fast chargers on the route?
I get that superchargers are great and easy to use but in my personal experience I thought it was the be all and end all, now, I’m thinking I could get along fine on any other charging network.
If I did the long journeys more often then Tesla is a no brainer
I bought a 77kwh pro max .Ex demonstrator with 3000 miles on the clock.This car is fully loaded complete with HUD .It's an absolutely awesome car,it's a big cruiser with 300 to 340 mile range with amazing road presence. Highly recommended .
It’s a great car there’s no denying it.
But VW have priced it that little bit too high to where it has a lot of competition to rival with
Great comparison. I'm an ID.4 driver and a mate of mine has the M3. To be honest, the quality differences trumped it for me - I just don't get the same quality materials in the M3 and ride quality.. Was in a 2 year old M3 taxi about 2 weeks ago, and the materials weren't holding up well. Also are your interior lights on the M3 incandescent? If so, that's a bit shocking!
Please refer to it as a Model 3, as am M3 is something totally different to 99% of the world
It really is making my decision when I come to replace this hard...Tesla have A LOT of work ahead of them to keep market share now rivals are making good EV's. Tesla build quality is really starting to show
I think its nice looking (and its trivial but theyve done a good job on the door handles :-) ) but Id get a Niro for what £15k or so cheaper? Or a MY for the SC network.
Yea my the supercharger network is a big plus for Tesla. I am planning to check out a Niro (I nearly bought a used one when I was looking for this car, shhh don’t tell anyone)
if your a mini cab driver , the niro is one ugly machine
@@ellisrochlin2267 because mini cab drivers are well known for selecting cars on the basis of their beauty and not price space or fuel efficiency? 😂
you had a moment on 15.59 min , what happened ? ps i want yer job
If your battery is full the regen bar will show you how much regen it gives you. Less regen than when its has less than 80% battery left.
I don’t recall if it was below 80% but it wasn’t near full. The regen just felt very weak compared to other EVs
@@thercsev It doesn't stop like Tesla does - it will crawl. It's nice car, but software is just a nightmare. I heard that early adopters [1st edition] had a ton of issues.
I was informed by the dealership the regen adjusts to the situation. If you are above the speed limit, it will regen more, if you are below it will do less and feel weaker. You can although change for it to just do full regen I believe, just like a Tesla
Just picked up one for 36k. At that price this is a steal
Fantastic price, may I ask how?
@@thercsev it was a used one with 4k miles on it from the dealer. VW Marshalls is basically having a fire sale🤣
That is really good and 4k miles is basically brand new. Thanks for sharing
a 23 pro performance in grey 33 k , having a serious think ,BUT LIKE your trusted iphone the battery after 4 to 5 years will not give the original power range , probably if you averaged 260/270 miles when new , it will be giving 200 miles or less by year 4 or 5 . even with the lengthy warranty . Replacement sir that will be 10 grand plus , but but its only 5 yrs old . By then many new evs will be pushing through 400 plus distance so more than doubling what your now getting with battery deterioration , your car will be definitley be heavily devalued by this
@@Keelzmoney dont kid yourseolf the interior isnt that good as in tacky cheap plastics within easy reach and a really weak laggy info centre , That's why they are a decent hardly used buy
I just paid £41k for my brand new RWD Model Y, I definitely wouldn’t fork out 10k more for the VW, but I might have been tempted if the VW was a few k less than the Tesla
I wouldn’t pay the extra either…maybe why I see very few ID5 on the roads 🤷🏼♂️
@@thercsev Here they are the same price Y= ID5, but if you are going leasing different story
Lease market and finance is crazy here. A lot of 0% deals are starting to show up despite record base interest rate
@@thercsev yes those are the competition heating up offers, you see what the car companies must do to move their products right now. The interest rates are high in most of the known world - that means that the car companies are footing the bill with more discount.
Apart from the eUp: the whole ID serie is crap. VW ist kaput!
I had an eUp as a courtesy car once, I have to say, it was brilliant little car 🚗
Wow! Where to start? First of all, go back to how you were taught to drive, both hands on the wheel at 10 to 2, stop teaching viewers the wrong way to drive. Secondly, the scratchy plastic as you call it in the A pillar is because of the safety airbag behind. Remember your BMW i4 didn’t meet euro NCAP 5 stars. I stopped watching then…
