    What do you dislike about lane assist? Can it be turned off?

    I have been seeing this, as a clueless non EV owner yet, that some EVs seem less efficient at 120kph vs 100kph than others. Does anybody have any views on this specifically comparing the ID3 and eNiro? Thanks

    I think you are over thinking the decision a bit.

    Have you driven an eNiro and an ID.3? If not, thats what you need to do first. And then go with whichever one makes you smile most when you drive it.

    Both cars are very good. They each have positives and negatives alot of which wont make any difference to you.

    e.g.
    - charge speed.... ID.3 is better at a rapid charger but you probably wont be using them much, so its better to go with the eNiro if that car makes you feel better.
    - Would you prefer a 5 door hatch or the higher driving position of a crossover... all subjective decisions.


    Both cars will comfortably do what you need it to do in terms of range so ultimately its down to what car makes you feel better, which is a subjective thing that can only be answered by driving them both yourself.

    it feels like the ID3 will nullify many of the mainstream options (ioniq/soul/Niro/kona/Leaf) for most people when Jan 2021 software updates and deliveries start in earnest.
    It’ll be the top selling EV in Ireland next year, perhaps by a large distance.

    That’ll also help with repair knowledge at the local dealership, parts availability etc too, if you need them. (a model 3 owner on the group here with what seemed a pretty minor front corner collision with a country road ditch had a €10k repair bill).

    The Tesla is a different beast - more expensive and objectively a better car. it comes with a lot of Teslarratti baggage however, which will attract a lot of people to other options too.

    Wasn't that in a Tesla Model 3?

    Probably for the Ioniq and Kona, but the Soul/Niro will be priced similarly to a higher spec 58kWh ID.3. Having a 64kWh battery and a better range, the ID.3 will have plenty of competition..


    I think the base ID.3 models will have less competition..

    The Niro and kona are a few years old now and are simply a different propulsion system in the normal car, and I think people will see them side by side and go with the newer model ID3.

    Once VW push their pcp rates behind the ID3 with a decent GMV on the other end, it’ll replace the golf completely (we’re on our 3rd 0% pcp vw golf).
