Liking that.

Maybe an ID4/Enyaq could still be on the cards with that annoyance dealt with? Do you need the boot space the the Evoque? If not, you might be surprised how spacious the ID3 is inside. More passenger room in our ID3 than the old A4 (boot considerably smaller, but marginally more leg room).

ID4 now back in the running, Enyaq front is too ugly.
She does need a big boot for all her hairdressing gubbins.
She won't entertain an ID3, I've shown her one and her comment was "I'm glad you didn't get one of those"
She just doesn't like 'quirky' cars, it's why she refused to drive my 24KWH Leaf.

Oh, with reference to the previous discussions about battery life and rapid charging.
Post on the Facebook Leaf forum from a Leaf specialist garage.
2016 30KWH Leaf taxi that's done 208000 miles and exclusively rapid charged several times a day for its whole life.
Battery has only lost two bars out of 12, meaning it's effectively just become like a new 24KWH leaf in terms of range.
So around 90 miles instead of 130 miles.

Not too shabby. 8)

Sold my car today, £20,400. A nice chunk of positive equity coming my way too. Couldn't say no to the offer I got considering it was more than I paid for the car new back in March of 2020.

GTI+ with 11K miles = £ 20400
GTI with 3800 miles = £ 20300

Good guide for anyone else interested in getting rid on here.
