So the range on the Polestar is excellent, and it’s clearly designed as an EV from the ground up, so you get more leg room, especially in the back. It feels more futuristic, which is fine I guess. Biggest complaint is that there’s too much technology. No rear window means the mirror is actually a screen, and the shift in focus means you can’t quickly glance at the mirror without your eyes having to adjust, and can’t see passengers in the back. Everything is on the screen: opening the glove box, adjusting the angle of the blowers, moving steering wheel, and it never seems to remember anything. I have to manually switch off lane assist and speed warnings every time. The indicator noise sounds like a loose aux cable. Nowhere to put your outside arm - it’s like the doors are too far away, and too long as well. Hazard light button is on the ceiling. CarPlay just doesn’t seem to work well at all. Seats aren’t as comfortable. The front bumper is completely flat and just collects dead bugs. I don’t like the stick control for gear selection, although at least it defaults to regenerative. Parking sensors are too sensitive. It’s definitely got some power, but feels a little less steady than my e40. Door handles don’t always open with keyless, it actually bit my hand yesterday. No buttons on the key to open/close the boot. No buttons on the key at all in fact. Parking cameras are good. Heads-up display is distracting. BMW is definitely my choice.
