Peter M has moved from a Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 AMG Line to a Volkswagen ID.3 Family 58kWh.

Via our survey, ‘Past, Present & Future’, we want to understand peoples’ respective car ownership stories. With the current climate crisis, there’s never been a greater need for emission-free driving yet at the same time, people are facing rising (and record) energy & general living costs.

This could ultimately change what car & fuel type a lot of people choose next. Also, we are very mindful that not everyone is on the road to electric so we wanted to highlight some of the more diverse & interesting feedback we’ve received.

Tell us a little more about your Mercedes-Benz CLA

Mechanically brilliant but I just never felt comfortable in it. The car before that was a C-Class 250D which had fabulous torque and just felt much better.

Tell us a little more about your Volkswagen ID.3

The Volkswagen ID.3 is very comfortable and cheap to run on a home charger. I’ve had no problems with the software but voice control is useless and there’s too many touch screen menus. It does lots of clever things I don’t use and I can’t switch lane assist permanently off.

If you had to choose your next car today, what would it realistically be and why?

The one introduced in 6 months time to allow more development! Right now, I’m thinking of the MG4 EV as it seems to be both excellent and great value for money.
