Relaxing, Practical and Fun to Drive

I have driven the car for 3K miles in 2 months and, so far, am very satisfied with my purchase. The car is fast enough, comfortable, very relaxing to drive, has very good sight-lines for safety, has a good sound system (to prevent boredom on long journeys) and could reliably drive for 270 miles on a full charge. In the 'Real World' - I limit myself to 240 miles so as not to discharge the battery too much. I have no doubt this range will diminish in the really cold weather - but on current evidence I suspect this may be less than I am anticipating.

The car has a lot of electronic safety kit - but you can turn off anything that consistently annoys you.

Downsides are very minor: the rear screen wiper needs an intermittent setting, and the air vents need finer adjustment for air flow (in my opinion). Neither are critical.

The car's looks divide opinion. "Different" is good as far as I am concerned.

I shall probably change the tyres from the supplied (summer) Nexens to good quality all season tyres in the next couple of months.
