I’ve always really liked the Honda E. Would be a perfect city runaround to replace the Fiat 500 if we ever decide to do that.

Obsessed with the purple. Managed to wash it today. :cool:

Will stop posting now. :cry:

Peoples critical thoughts on the design are well documented of course, and personally I think it looks alright, especially in that colour!

But...

That M badge placement... Why...

Reposting from the Emira thread, here's my new toy. I'll get some decent pics of it one day but these will do for now!

That is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations, enjoy the hell out of it!

BMW i3(S) is excellent as well. The last versions (120Ah) have a bigger battery than the E

We did have a drive, but the Mrs simply hated it, I thought it was OK, though the tyres are comically skinny.

Terrible cars. Just a vessel to move from A to B with zero driving dynamics. Who cares about how big the battery is.

Weird comment. Comically skinny tyres and ludicrously hard suspension aside, they're great city/2nd cars. A 25% bigger battery is a huge range increase!
Also carbon core, recycled materials, huge interior space, etc. etc...

He’s just driven around Scotland in the Honda E so not sure how city is relevant. Great in city just means terrible elsewhere.

Not sure how recyclable the carbon is either

Find Honda E far better hence buying it, if I was to rank them out of cars we drove that befits a small city style EV:

1. New Mini JCW SE Sport - 218HP
2. Previous Gen Mini Cooper Level 3
3. Honda E Advance
4. R5 150PS Techno
5. BMW I3S
6. Abarth

Driving dynamics aside the Honda E ingrate as best of bunch and Mrs absolutely loves it I’ve driven it past couple of days and very happy with it. Nice that a little car has so many toys, 360 camera, great sound system, great interior and build quality and been RWD the driving dynamic is OK, just a nice place to be and it’s lack of range is not an issue for us.
