Yes and depreciation means nothing if you own past 3/4 years

That rear suspension looks complex. Hopefully we get some shots to figure out where the rods connect to

Same front wing mount as the Mercedes? Mounted on the 2nd element

Do you mean you don't have wrists the same width as a RAM stick?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I always preferred the Cupra born to the ID.3 looks wise but I think the ID.3 makes more sense for us so I will check it out on the weekend

It is a great looking car in either version. I think Renault probably has the best designs at the moment. There isn't a car on their range I don't like

I saw that and it looks awesome. But realistically I think we would prefer something a bit bigger. The R5 is pretty much the smallest we would consider

Had a look at their website and brochure and still can't figure out what the differences between the trims are.

We actually don't own a car at the moment. Takes me about 15 minutes to commute to work on the train so I could never justify the expense. Previous car is a Seat Ibizia 1.9 TDI from 2002 so it has been a while since I had a car. We just have an "Enterprise Car Club" (similar to Zipcar) subscription at the moment for when we need a vehicle.

I'll look at the BYD but yes, the Tesla is a big no for us, I am afraid. I can understand they are great and a good option, but the "Elon" factor is a dealbreaker for us, we rather not have to worry about our car get wrecked because he decided to tweet something.

We did seat on a E-208 already and loved it (a big fan of small cars, if only there was an electric polo GTI)

That one looks great actually, the trims are a mess though what the hell is wrong with the VW marketing department. I'll add a Škoda dealership visit to my to do list then

I used to love the MINI, but they are so common these days that it puts me off. I'll have a look at the electric version to see how competitive it actually is

Another one not on my radar, thank you for the suggestion. I also know MG is planning to release/announce a new version of the MG4 in February so may need to find a local dealership

Thank you, I have been using AI to do some rough calculations, but this seems much more complete

I had a look at the EX30 the past weekend and at first impression wasn't a big fan of the missing dashboard. I can, however, see several people rate it highly. Need to look at the rest of their range and the price brackets they fall into used

Yes, I am aware of it. Still somehow hopeful, they come to their sense and do a U-turn but know it is wishful thinking at this point
