I wasn't keen on buying my ID.4 FE when I test drove it at the dealer, but my wife thought it might be acceptable. We are both less enthusiastic about it after owning it several days:
1. Mediocre acceleration, braking, and steering response compared to my current car (Toyota RAV4 EV)
2. Very limited cargo capacity. Much space is wasted by the excessively high Read seats when folded (little vertical room) and more space is wasted by the false floor in the back that compensates for the high seats.
Much less usable than the RAV4
3. Audio sound quality is terrible. Inexcusable!!! Worst car audio I have ever heard.
4. Mediocre human-machine interface. No better than the 2013 RAV4EV except for Android Auto. But the ID.4 interface is quite laggy.
5. Handling feels remote, but that may be a matter of taste
6. Large on the outside, not so big on the inside. Perhaps that is a modern car thing in genral?
7. Mediocre paint. I have glacier white which has very little depth compared Blizzard Pearl (white metallic) of the RAV 4.
8. Creep. No selectable regen. Bugs me more than I thought it would.
9. Poor Car-Net functionality compared to the Toyota app
First time I've ever regretted buying a car.
The range and the DC charging speed are impressive, but the RAV4 met my needs 95% of the time in those parameters.
At least VW might fix it when it breaks, unlike how my Toyota dealer approaches my RAV4
