Did you buy this car new or used?
Used
How much did you pay? (including all on-road costs)
69000
What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
I wanted an EV with a decent range that didn't cost the earth and had nice technology. I wanted to be able to easily get to Tauranga and potentially back again on a single charge.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
Very different from my prior car (a plug in Prius) but a lovely car in so many ways. Ride is a little hard but that is my only criticism
What have you discovered since owning the car?
I continue to love it. I'm getting the equivalent of 480 to 500 kms per charge which is in line with the WLTP range. I intentionally don't push the speed-will cruise the motorway at 95ks which is pretty much what most cars do anyway. I'm losing about 1km of quoted range for every 1000kms driven which seems an acceptable level.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
Its a lovely car to drive. Using cruise control on NZ roads is slightly fraught at times because of braking when trucks come around the corner etc -I have to be ready to take control of the speed. The camera's don't like orange cones and will slow unnecessarily at times
Any other comments on the car?
Would happily buy it again, but would now get a Y because of its better towing capability
