Rate the electric car for its tech features

 

What did you like/dislike about the tech features?

Interior display was excellent, very clear with easy to use controls. Camera for parking assistance was particularly good, with a very clear image.

 

 

Rate the electric car for how it drives

 

What did you like/dislike like about how it drove?

Very responsive and the high power setting for the regenerative braking was excellent, giving a one-pedal driving experience for much of the time. This could be turned off to give a more conventional feel but, after a short time to get used to it, there was no need to turn it off.

 

Ride was a little harsh, but to be expected. Handling was very good with a sporty feel.
