I really liked the e-tron when I test drove it. Almost got one but the fact in winter with lights and heating on and sat nav etc means a range less than 150 miles still put me off. Not ready yet to handle a car with less than a 150 mile range.

I did think about this. but the chances of me going more than 100 miles without a break is non existent. with 150w charging i can get 80% back in 20 mins

Honestly, one of the things that puts me off my EV ownership and especially forums/Facebook groups, is some fellow EV owners like Journey. It's a car, not a religion.

Happy to put you off owning a car, but I don't treat it anything like a religion, quite the opposite in fact since there is mostly reason and logic involved, not faith and brand loyalty like some people seem to support. I wouldn't bother responding to me though, since I am obviously some sort of fanatic... ;)

thst was just clever sat nav with range prediction! Clearly you took nothing away from the discussion in that thread. (Assuming you’re the poster :D)

Lights and nav use so little range its unmeasurable, it's the temperature and heating that reduce the range. If the car has a heat pump that helps mitigate the heating impact.
 
born - yes the bigger tablet suits it, versus ID3; audio system seems the same, though; big envelopping bucket seat/head-rest I'm less keen,
they need to perfect the bonnet closeing noise
 
Some are saying 0-60 is more like 7+ and that with no gear changes won't feel especially strong (esp. at that price!). HP/ton is quite low and I can't imagine it will be great at corners. Calling it a "hot hatch" is pushing it a bit.

Hot hatches have not been especially cheap for a long time. My EP3 Civic Type R was 16k new in 2002, latest one starts at 35k. (Granted its more into hyper hatch territory)

Also its a Cupra, its their sporty division and their marketing bumpf is all leaning towards performance/hot hatch kind of speak. I expect it does handle pretty well and they do have good form for hot hatches. Think its rear wheel drive as well. :cry:

I will be trying one when its out, though reserve the right to whinge cos its not my perfect vision of an electric hot hatch(on paper). :p
