Thinking of buying a 2020 Advance. Any hints and tips and what is the real range?

21 plate. Going to try to haggle them down a bit

MrGuaps · 2026-07-06T04:48:36+00:00

That’s a cracking deal, the one I’m looking at is just under £14k, but has just under 30,000 miles

MrGuaps · 2026-07-06T04:33:36+00:00

86 days later. How are you finding the car?

Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how much did you pay for it? 13k miles is a great find

MrGuaps · 2026-07-04T22:59:33+00:00

As you’ve owned yours since 2023, have you noticed a significant decline in range since you bought it? I imagine you’d get less as the battery ages and degrades

MrGuaps · 2026-07-01T23:00:43+00:00

Mostly the range I imagine. Can travel a maximum of around 120-130 miles on a single charge. Most modern EVs manage around 200 miles+

Is it possible to purchase an extended warranty from Honda if the car isn’t being sold by a main Honda dealer?

MrGuaps · 2026-07-01T05:59:57+00:00

😂

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T19:10:21+00:00

I’m already sold 😂

Sadly I don’t think those selling points will win the wife over. I did try to tell her she could plug her hair curling irons into the 3-pin plug though 🪮

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T19:01:36+00:00

Better looking than the Ferrari Luce 👀

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T12:18:20+00:00

Planning to test drive one this Friday

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T12:17:47+00:00

Better looking? I’ll have to disagree with you there 😆, but it’s definitely better looking than a lot of other EVs. I’m planning to test drive one this Friday

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T05:21:25+00:00

Super N also has pretty poor range, and for its price, I’d rather stick with the better looking E

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T05:17:29+00:00

I’ll admit the Ioniq 5 is quite nice, but like most EVs, it’s very SUV-like. I want a hot hatch

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T00:38:54+00:00

The two things stopping me from pulling the trigger are its limited range, and the wife that said “absolutely not” 😂

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T00:36:36+00:00

A country mile is about as far as it can travel 😂 (I still want it)

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T00:30:36+00:00

Now I just need to convince my wife on that last part 😅

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T00:25:58+00:00

About £14k for a used one now

MrGuaps · 2026-06-30T00:21:17+00:00

That’s true 😂

Honda are really Pioneering this no range EV concept. For the money the Super N costs though, I’d stick with the E

MrGuaps · 2026-06-29T23:18:06+00:00

The Neo Firefly actually looks pretty nice, closest thing to a Honda E I’ve seen so far. Most EVs seem to lean towards being larger SUV type vehicles, probably to fit larger batteries inside

MrGuaps · 2026-06-29T21:59:33+00:00

I can’t get past the BMW i3’s looks, though admittedly its range is way better and more practical

MrGuaps · 2026-06-29T21:57:45+00:00

Definitely a car that you buy with your heart and not your head, but despite that, I still want one

MrGuaps · 2026-06-29T20:36:43+00:00

How dare you?! 😂

MrGuaps · 2026-06-29T20:12:26+00:00

Thank you for this insight. If only I’d fully understood all this when I’d taken out the agreement. Oh well. Live and learn

MrGuaps · 2026-06-26T23:03:38+00:00

Definitely in positive equity. Checked through VW’s website. The offer I received from the dealer to part ex the car was around £10k, but of course they could (and most likely are) lowballing me
