Why did you choose this car?
Build quality, looked far more solid that the other models available at the time. Styling of the car, I like a car to look like a car, the test drive was great fun. Handling of the car was great on test drive.
Positives – List 3 or more reasons why you love this car.
- Ease of home charging
- The way the interior cleans with just a damp cloth
- The effortless driving, never arrived tired or bored.
Negatives – List 3 or more things that you really don’t like about this car.
- My choice of colour as void is very hard to clean. Stunning when clean though just hard work to maintain.
- Having to wait for Apple CarPlay to arrive. Rather frustrating as was supposed to be last year but was delayed.
- The phone app is pretty poor as keeps coming and going and needs to be reconnected with the car regularly.

What car are you interested in next and why?
Will wait until the EVs have evolved as happy with mine at the moment.
What home charging unit do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
Rolec Home Smart 7kW – it does all I ask of it and the app is ok and reliable. It lacks a couple of features available on newer charging points such as precondition of battery but a good charging point to have at home.
