New Electric Car Choice.

The Kia EV6 GT looks a good shout as a second hand buy, prices have dropped quite a bit on those, now they are nudging 40k for ~1yr old and very little mileage, it’s looks a bargain, not driven the full fat one yet so can’t really comment, I did find the regular one a bit crashy in the ride department and the headrests were a right pain pushing my head forward, the GT looks to have sorted that.

I drove the EX30 AWD on the weekend, it was very impressive for what it is and what it costs, ride and composure very good, felt like a small lightweight car, even if it is only one of those things :D, Tesla esque central screen is rubbish though, too much on the screen, needs to be simplified and for me given a HUD or driver display, the fact the car kept telling me off for looking at the screen bugged me a bit, particularly as my glasses aren’t as crisp in my peripheral for such small text unless I look, no such issues in my current car whihc has driver display and hud.

What I do like about the Volvo is the safety systems aren’t too annoying, very little binging and bonging and those that do happen are subtle, unlike the Kiundais.

i read today the ionic 5 is getting a new face lift.

externally just a few chavvy bits (mind you i love chavvy bits on cars ;) ) however the long range one has a new larger 85kwh battery and a bank of physical switches in the car to take away from touch screen.

on the surface of it that sounds all positive to me. Dunno what effect it will have on RRP, but may mean some good clearance deals on the outgoing older model.
