    Chris, I think Cindy's point of view should be a must for everyone who presents a new car! A totally great review by her!

    I appreciate the Cindy reviews. I am a tall husband with a short wife and we share cars. Each car we buy has this same conversation, especially about seats, seat belts, visibility, and so on. So few reviewers cover this *crazy* idea that two differently sized humans might share a car.

    Cindy's reviews and observations are great. Love hearing her point of view. 👍🏻 Us guys often have a different focus ( acceleration, efficiency, road holding, did I mention acceleration??!!). Cindy might need her own channel, Chris !!

      Not everything we find important, is important to other people. And that is good that way. People have to test the car and make their own decision. We are just giving thinking points to help out. 😄

    I wonder if it's relying exclusively on the heat pump for heat. If it gets cold enough you *need* resistive heating because a heat pump becomes less and less effective at low temps.

    Chris, your wife rocks!
    I agree with her opinion and I'm curious to know her opinion on MG4.
    Maybe this time MG lets you do a review...they can't say NO to a lady!
    Seriously, it's an interesting video, I think it's useful for your followers to know a female point of view on a car.
    In any case I always appreciated your sincerity in the reviews.

    Overall, a car with a poor heating system and noisy is not a good recipe . Sadly the rest of the car becomes completely irrelevant as a result.

    I’ve found that the Chinese heater setting are like this. It must be to do with where they measure to temperatures. Easily rectified, where I want 20 in my i3 I would need to set to say 28 in a Chinese car to get the same 20.

    It seems to me that VW ID is hard to beat for the price.
    All the negative reviews of the VW infotainment system are grossly over played because what is far more more important is how it drives, as you often point out in your reviews.

    • @MaticTheProto
