Well sorry that's a dumb title for this post, but it's bothering me that I'm leaning toward the id4 for basic design decisions. I haven't come across many posts on this forum making comparisons between the two. Granted, we're talking a $20k cost separation, so maybe the two aren't cross-shopped much, but the $20k price difference also makes this frustrating.
Mainly, my wife and I both have normally preferred the sedan / wagon form factor over SUV / CUV. Heck, even our SUV -- a Ford Flex -- is just an overgrown station wagon. So it's natural we gravitated towards the Polestar 2 and ignored the id4.
But the P2 has some big misses (in my book, anyway):

But the P2 has some big misses (in my book, anyway):
- Oversized center console with unnecessary gear shift lever, single awkward cupholder, short of storage.
- "Transmission hump" (for lack of a better term) on the floor, between the rear seats, unnecessarily cramping a center passenger. I understand they're hiding batteries in there, but this was a poor design decision.
- Lack of a sunshade. My former allroad had a huge glass roof and a sun shade. My 9 year old Flex has a huge glass roof and four sun shades. My i3 has a tiny glass roof but similarly tiny "his and hers" sunshades. I get that T***a doesn't do sunshades but that shouldn't be an excuse.
