What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
It has to be an EV and a SUV. It has greatly filled our needs. It's so big and comfortable. And so quiet.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
We have an Mini Cooper SE Hatch which is also an EV. Given that we loved the Mini and how it runs and its so easy to connect to once you sit inside it, we thought this car would, if not be better.
What have you discovered since owning the car?
One of the most simplest things is where to store the Garage Opener? Unfortunately, the Mini has very little storage - which we soon found out. The iX3 has a very small pocket (next to the phone charging pad) that is enough to fit this opener. Wow. So easy to access it when you need it.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
Oh, its very quiet. Very fast. So easy to switch to highest recuperation mode. Just move the gear stick to B. That's it. That the cutest thing to watch is when you select P (to park) the gear stick automatically moves from B back to original position. Haha.
Any other comments on the car?
In the specification it says that this "Impressive" model has two different sets of tyres. What's that about!

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?
Yes
Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?
Reliable technology (and not 'parts' which we know German cars to have - although this model is made in China) is everything for an EV.
