Not a natural 'driver's car'. Just very very good at being an EV. Fair enough. I'm just thinking my hunger for stupidly inefficient cars might have subsided by then (i.e. 10 years from now). But if not it will be an EQS/Taycan and a house with a drive... might even go full uPVC portico like a...

The new Harry's Garage vid on the Tesla Model 3 was encouraging (from a 5-10 years from now perspective). Anything with a 0-60 sub 6 seconds feels pretty quick to me (with <5 secs scary-quick) and with 250 mile range that's enough too. And because most people have no taste and will want a Model...

I am slightly tongue in cheek here, but generally there might be, at a guesstimate, 40% ICE cars in the slow waiting for Godot lane, 50% in the middle hogging lane and 10% in the fast stylish lane, so that's 40:50:10 ratio. But for EVs the ratio seems to be about 90:10:0 (with the odd...

I disagree. But even if true, as you say, then no, I suppose it doesn't matter as it is more than enough for me. But is it true? Let's see........ Tech: What is better? Reliability? Satnav? Small mpg improvement? Errmm... there's not much that I personally value in new car tech that is worth...

True, but I am a car nerd so tend to notice (but maybe not as modern MGs and Korean stuff I kind of have an internal high pass filter regarding that stuff). Well maybe, I suppose I only really notice Teslas and MB EVs as they're the ones I can see the point in (as a private buyer). They loose...

I agree to an extent. An example: my 20 yr old CLS 55 feels, to me, perfectly modern in ice terms: airbags, fast, comfy, reasonable on fuel outside of the city, 25 mpg A road/motorway is comparable with modern high performance ice mpg (according to fuelly etc), only the prehistoric satnav...

In my experience this is correct on the M25 and the network of the SE. But not the M6/M1 north of, say, Luton. (Unless I just don't notice them what with the majority going the EV-mandatory 65.) I wonder if the reason so many people on here (including me tbh) are EV skeptical is that we've had...

So your economy at 75 mph is 2.5 m/kwh. This is great first hand info to know. (BTW was that real or what the speedo says, and is the efficiency true or does it not include charging losses?) But anyway, 59 cent per kw makes this EV travel 24 cents per mile, or about 21 pence per mile (in near...

Perhaps it's even simpler: first to industrialise => first to deindustrialise and grow IP and service sectors? The conservatives and Blair created a market economy in HE. So if an institution lowers it's entry requirements (this is usually done surreptitiously through the clearing system) gets...

Fingers crossed. Please let us know if it worked 👍

So many facts, so little time 😅

I had a car with similar issues. Turned out to be the rear rubber donut on the prop shaft was worn. Since your car is on mega miles that would be my hunch

Falken are excellent value and seem to work very well and wear slowly

Bait taken lol: 1) A £4k EV will be similar I reckon :) 2) Besides, an old Accord can cruise at 80 mph easily for hours, i.e. about 50% faster than the typical motorway max speed of an EV (if you want to get there without charging every 60 minutes that is) 😂.

I had a 320i straight 6. It was very pretty and incredibly smooth, sounded great revving it through the full range. But, the quality of the car was inferior to a Ford Sierra. The interior fell a pieces, and the suspension design was extremely basic and designed for cheapness to make. But for...

So either there'll be fewer caravaners in the EV future? - OK I'm now onboard the good ship EV ! :D

Yeah that's estate agents and used car traders for you 🤦 Sadly that car is riddled with rust so not suitable for me. Thanks for looking through 👍

It is a great find. But my days of spending 4h on a train to view a car that, upon inspection, is clearly being sold by either a liar or a moron or both (i.e. a trader) are long over! (I know this limits my pool but I just cannot face the fairly high risk of disappointment any longer - or the...

I like the colour. Do others think this is an odd one? Perfect car 💥 I'll look out for another in the coming weeks. (Hatfield is 4 1/2 hr away) Cheers 👍

Really really nice. Bet something's wrong with it 😅
