As an American who doesn’t want a crossover and big wheels: I hate it here.
I was about to buy an eGolf right before they yanked it off the market. These gigantic Tesla-adjacent vehicles are disgusting.
To each their own. I don’t dislike the industrial design. I particularly like the tail lights.
The chrome plastic on the bumper and the drive mode selector are what feel the weirdest to me. They look cheap. Poor material selection.
It’s okay, it just means I gotta keep my gas cars on the road longer.
Unless we get the electric GTI and they don’t ruin it by making it a goddamn crossover
Eh, I like not having to climb to get in and out. I also like being able to see over other cars parked on the street at intersections.
The first one? Fine. But the day I can’t climb into and out of my fun car is the day I give up driving entirely.
The second? That just leads to an arms race of taller and taller cars.
Maybe eventually I’ll be able to see under y’all
