2017 Volkswagen Golf SE Electric Drive

Summary:

More reliable and lower operating cost than gas models, 125 miles at a time

Faults:

Apple Car Play can be glitchy at times. Works about 90%.

General Comments:

Owning my eGolf has been a dream. 87,000 problem free miles. 87,000 miles of no oil changes or gas stops. I wish the top speed wasn't governed at 85 mph. I wish the range didn't take such a hit when you turn the heater on.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The low range is killer for EV's and always will be. I live in the UK and have a diesel Golf, you cannot beat filling the tank up and going confidently for around 700 miles without filling up! I wouldn't buy an electric one, sorry.
