Test driving tomorrow. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've put the back seats of my e-Niro down or had people in the back of it and for driving around the city - smaller cars are so much better. Less money, easier to drive, more range - I've myself nearly convinced. Looking at the configurator, is the 'Top Sports Interior 'Plus' option worth it for € 1,355.09?Lumbar support, pneumatically adjustable Power seat adjustment for both front seats Seat heater for front seats separately controlled N3R (whatever that is?)

I averaged 15.0kWh/100km and got home with 72kms to spare, 4h26mins driving. Also worth noting it lashed rain for most of the motoway driving on the way home as well. Last time I done the same trip in the eGolf it was torture as it was in winter so had to top up on the way up and it took me 5.5 hours to do the 2:15 trip home as the FCP in Navan had a que of cars looking for free charges and I hadn't enough range to get to the next FCP in Kinnegad. I only have my ID3 2.5 weeks and am getting around 320kms from an 80% charge each time, only charged it fully once and that was Wednesday night for yesterdays trip. Absolute no faults / errors so far thankfully. Its actually quite fun to drive on the twsty country roads (not as good as the egolf though!!) and comfortable on the one long spin I done. Long may it continue!!

eagerv wrote: » Depends upon your usage, which of course will change after getting an EV. Use a comparison site such as Bonkers.ie. Over the last year or so Energia have offered some of the best deals. We are with them atm, but contract just expired so will be searching again. Has to be done yearly which is a PITA. Our usage is roughly 50:50 day/night.
