    It is if you're making a compliance car.

    I think if you're worried about boot space, you're buying the wrong car here.

    I have a PHEV with a 4.4 kWh battery and that covers about 38% of my overall driving. But it's not a Ferrari so actually practical for driving on my short commute and around town.

    As long as it's just yourself or 1 passenger on your commute, you don't have a suitcase, and it's less than 25km, wouldn't the Ferrari be equally practical ? :D

    I'm in Cork city, there are several roads I use on my commute where driving up on the kerb to pass oncoming cars is the norm. Never mind speed bumps and other obstacles a Ferrari would be barely capable of. So no :)

    Don't want to create a new thread for minor news, so I'll put this in here for those interested in VWs/EVs/Nurburgring

    I bet the guards in Cork do it too ;)

    There's the law, and then there's common sense of how to deal with roads with two-way traffic but only width for one car.
