Im a long time reader on here and have just started posting so Hello!
Ive been looking at EV's for a few months now but just can't seem to make the metal jump to get one yet. Let me explain...……...I like fast cars and in an every day one I like 4wd, also I like my cars to be light, small and fun to drive as generally heavy big cars are not fun to drive. I currently have an Audi S3 as a daily and a Lotus Elise as my fun car and have lots of much faster cars in my past like a £53,000 Caterham 620 and a tuned Audi RS3!
I have driven BMW i3's, Leaf's, the new Mini E and a Tesla M3 but none really fit my wish list of quality, not too big, 4wd and fast...………………….I almost bought an i3s but the RWD, daft doors and high short city car design detract from the driving dynamics. I almost bought a 19 Leaf but its not great to drive, feels a bit cheap inside and why don't they have a reach adjustable steering wheel!?!? The Tesla was good but I could not live with the dash, a big touchscreen in the middle of a completely undersigned dash is just terrible imo plus the build quality isn't Audi or BMW. The Mini was great to drive and lovely inside but its a bit tight for 2 kids and 3 door only with a small battery so I think if I buy any EV now it will just be a stop gap until what I want is on the market.
I guess basically I want is a VW ID3 R or Audi S3 EV but whilst I do think VW will bring one to market sometime its probably 3 years away! Cant get why all the cars coming are either big SUV's like the Merc EQC, Audi E-Tron or Jag I-Pace or small city cars like the Mini, VW Up Seat Mii etc. The big sellers are normal Golf / Focus sized cars but there really aren't any EV ones and a Golf E is not desirable in my eyes.
Is there anything coming out from manufacturers????? Or would they ever read this post ?
