Honda’s much anticipated city EV is here. I had an earlier look at the car in 2020 but after having the car for over a week in December, I’ve filmed my thoughts.
If you do long distances regularly, this won’t be the car for you but if you’re a city slicker most of the time, maybe it could suit your lifestyle!
Check out www.honda.ie to find out how you can get a free home charger if you buy a new Honda E as they’ve teamed up with SSE Airtricity.

Love mine had it 1yr, still only seen 3 others. Still get looks. Great fun ! Range has averaged 110mile .
Only every charged at home , nothings yet inspires me to replace.
ppl seem to forget , this is a inner city car, it olny does 222 km , its ment to get you from home to work and store and back to work, dont trate it like its a family all use car bc its not.
I honestly love the look of this car. Wish the headlines could do a blink. It's got bags of personality and style. Japanese cars are so great i am in love.
Been thinking about it , watched a lot of reviews . Yours pushed me over . It’s ordered!
What colour you going for?
I’ve gone for advance in blue with mud flaps
Reminds me of Peugeot 205 . Delivery April hopefully
Deadly colour
Love it, the wife is waiting for hers to be delivered in feb, But I want the type r version :)
Saw my first one of these in the metal in Cork today. Did double and treble takes it’s so futuristic and slick looking. Smoked everything from standing at the lights too, incl. a MB E350. I wish I could rationalise a purchase myself, but its battery capacity and the longer-range driving I typically do are incompatible. Looking forward to its bigger sister’s release whenever that may be!
I think they look deadly
Thanks for the video 👍
I want to buy a used one with leasing... 3 or 4 years, im not sure... What do you think!
Great review, that colour is really nice, v good city car. Love it
Nice one good positive feedback 👍 I am going to look at a White and Yellow Honda e on Sunday hopefully I get a good deal though i will be trading my Aygo in.
The Honda e has had my attention since the concept it is the most exciting electric Car so far. Whether Honda will bring out a Type 2 version in the years to come will have to wait and see. I hope the charging infrastructure improves alot in the near future or a battery 🔋 upgrade would be nice.
You’ll prefer the boot in the e anyway over an Aygo. Fun car to drive for sure!
Another great review I think this is a fantastic machine
Great review
Love the intro
"It won't" 😂😂😂
8:43
Got 5 doors. Use the passenger area as for shopping 🛍.
Most practical electric car.
Japanese technology and ingenuity
Fantastic review of the Honda e
Thanks
I do have kids, I need good range, I need a bigger boot but I just can't not have it. I don't understand how it's got me like it has but it has
Superb real world review. Style over substance? Perhaps. And yes it could become the new 'Jazz'. Surely if you want an e car that is different then surely the fist out the box BMW i3 is still the one to beat? Stay Safe. Healthy New Year!
the i3 hasn't changed much in a long time - bar a longer range option.
"There's a guy in a Leaf, that's eyeing this car.." gotta love it.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

Fabulous review as ever Nobby. I totally agree on the design and funkiness aspect of the car and whilst it's very expensive and the range isn't great I do get what you mean tho' if I'm honest if money were no object I'd have a Renaultsport Mégane over that every time, I dunno maybe I'm just having a midlife crisis! Lol!
Make it an RS Trophy at least

Donegal to Dublin?
Excellent 👍
Like the original Honda Insight, another cool car from Honda.
great review Nobby. The tech in the car is great, but unless you can afford £30k for a citycar is very steep. I've just got an eSoul and it's terrific around town and when I finally get to drive further than 5 miles, I'm sure it will be good on that too :)
eSoul as an all rounder is hard to beat!
The steering wheel is a wink to the look of the wheel in the original Civic ! Nice touch . Like the car but the range is a no no for most people. Excellent review by the way
It's quite a large wheel compared to everything else. I just about remember that model and the huge wheel! Thanks for watching
"point n squirt" 😂 Just made me spit my drink out.
I'm currently looking at one of these for our 2nd car. Need to offset my V8 somehow 😂
LOVE IT
Would probably be great in a two car family for school runs, cheap as chips to run. But to me an ugly look but inside is very impressive. If this is the way Honda intends to go then it will be a bright future for them in EV’s.
I think they actually want people to feel like that. Maybe not 70s but you’re onto something!
Good for a couple - that is what the Honda Jazz has always been for retired couples. Will this be the 1st electric car for former Jazz customers?
Great point actually
@@NobbyOnCars The Jazz has always been overpriced when compared to similar segment cars so the higher price tag should not pose a big issue for such customers - but I do wonder if they would be put off by the high levels of tech offered.
Most ages that saw the mirrors were impressed, there is a lot going on though which may put some older people off, hard to know. But I agree, 30k isn't 'mad' money to a lot of people, especially a retired Jazz owner.
Out of curiosity and the possibility I’m about to get one how much to charge it at home from nearly empty ? Deadly looking car and some of the tech is terrific
Just multiply the battery size by .20c (worst case) and that will give you an idea
@@NobbyOnCars thanks 😊
I have buy a honda e 3 months ago . Its a verry good car . About the range its drive 200 km ( if you drive not agresiv ) about hiting its true its use range ,,if you use hiting at maximum power ) AC its use only 2 km range , so no problem about AC . And remember you pay 30k € for a cool car. (City car ) if you want more range and not a technology car buy a Renault zoe .
Great city car for sure!
I've read and watched many reviews of the Honda E, and you all agree: driving it is enough to make a clinically-depressed person feel that life is worth living again, but it doesn't have more range than 99% of drivers need. You emphasized the driving a bit more and the range a bit less than most of the other reviews, ergo, your review's a bit better than most. Honestly, range anxiety keeps growing further and further past the point of madness. There are plenty of ICE vehicles that had far less range on a tank of gasoline, and no one ever worried about it.
Great car to drive!
I wish they would bring it to the US and work on the battery range
Not sure about the look. I see the mark 1 Golf resemblance at the front but if I'm buying a super mini car for €30k (plus post and packaging) I want it to look like 2070 not 1970. Will the NASA control center interior compromise or enhance safety?
There's some great safety stuff but it's always up to the driver to use screens appropriately - if not, there's deffo a lot going on
Why are you doing a second review of the Honda e ?
First one was just a launch of it, had literally been shown the car and went for a drive, this time I’d had it for a week
Why would anyone think of buying a short range car, a town runabout, when they are likely to want it for long journeys?
Apart from the ludicrous front and rear door handles, I find the Advance a delight to drive.
I have planned to tour the UK in it and 70 to 80 miles per leg to overnight stays, I see no problem. I also know there is a fair chance I can fast charge as a safety measure.
What annoys me is that the automatic parking doesn’t use the benefit of the small turning circle. It always goes back and forth a couple of times before parking.
Cool car, if it had 200 mile range it would be perfect.
Great review. I reckon if they did ICE version of that design with more boot space, they'd be on a winner. I personally think it's a great design.
Problem is ICE version would be FWD. Yuck.
Front & rear look a bit like a Fiat 850, which was a great small car.
I think this looks kinda nice. But I think manufacturers need to offer a longer warranty on the batteries. Maybe 12 years. 8 years just isn't enough.
I guess 8 is a balance of first ownership versus cost. I don’t even know many who keep a car for 8 years though - although obviously someone will be running it in 8 years
@@NobbyOnCars the problem will be the value come the time the warranty is out. 👍
What's a industry standard warranty on an ICE engine?
2, maybe 3 years. A few exceptions such as Renault/Hyundai who do 5, Kia 7 etc
@@NobbyOnCars I'd see 8 years warranty on the battery being reasonable against those ICE drivetrain options. Time will tell how much range loss there is in batteries. Also, we don't tend to discuss how much efficiency/power is lost over the same timeframe in ICE cars for comparison.
Reminds me of the Fiat Ritmo.
Perfect second car if u could afford it.
If you were that person with no kids looking for a cool car but with a bigger battery where would you go?
Model 3 ☺️
I had one and we got. 0-60 in 8.1
Love the review but I'd suggest not wearing that jacket. So much rustling.
The t-shirt weather will be gee soon 🙌🏻
You can pick them up now for £15k , but but but its that warranty isnt it ........hmm
4:59 Average energy consumption of 22.3 kW/100 km?! What is this thing, a tank?
My 2019 Chevy Bolt, which is much quicker, farther-going and more powerful, seldom shows me consumption figures greater than 16 kW/100 km. True, it can drop to as low as 30, but only in serious Canadian winter temperatures when all the heating systems are on and I drive on highways.
In a nutshell, the 22.3 kW/100 km as shown in this video is certainly too much for a car this small and the weather this favorable.
"The boot doesn't hold much: Duh! Its a little car, not and SUV or mini-van.
Yeah, so it doesn’t hold much.
Love the looks but like you said totally impractical.
Oddly the lack of an armrest really puts me off !
I really miss one when it's not there.
Why in the world do you 'need' a 'comfort' armrest when you're driving - assuming that your priority is safety via a ten-to-two hands position on the steeringwheel whilst concentrating on the road ahead, around and behind? It's a car, not an extension of your sofa although I observe that the manufacturer does use the term 'lounge' in its marketing blurb, unwisely in my view. lf as it appears you feel a sense of deprivation about the absence of an armrest, lobby Honda to satisfy your apparent craving though I respectfully suggest you ask them to confine the addition for the exclusive benefit of backseat passengers. Fret not, though, because whilst you're parked in the course of a juice refill you can console yourself for the maker's unforgivable lack of provision in the matter by fixating on the calming images of fake floating fish so thoughtfully included on one of the facia screens.
@@DavidHughes-op6zl because it’s a comfort feature
Out of 10, what do you give it?
I was really impressed with the upgrades that they had applied since the previous model. Two caveats - it was a well specced car and I didn't get to drive it. But a lot of stuff is now standard over the previous car.
No arm rest though I'm out
Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Ah, yes, folks, the Honda hee-hee e...
...I don't even begin to get the gush emimating from the motoring press and parts of the public about this obscenely overpriced, overteched cross between a batt-pack-shopping-trolley and a doubly concave mobile matchbox. Saleswise I predict that here in the UK it will prove to be a colossal white elephant. It features a boot the size of a postage stamp plus a range just about capable of carrying you twice round the block - ok, make that three times - added to which there's a charging-port lid on the bonnet resembling the top of your nan's commode. Finally (this next bit is tech overload gimmickry gone beserk and then some) we come to a multitude of in-your-face screens stretching would you believe the entire length of the dash, one, wait for it, forming a mock fish tank... I kid you not. Presumably its purpose is in answer to masses of ev drivers pleading with the manufacturer to be sure to feature on the facia images of floating perch etc., etc. The one aspect I applaud are those innovative door cameras but you pay a hell of a premium to enjoy their presence.
[News recently reached me regarding an individual who, apparently murmuring yuck phrases like 'Cutesy-cutesy-cool' and probably
wetting their underwear in the process of viewing the thing, proceeded to put down a deposit to purchase this Japanese runabout. A few weeks after taking delivery, said person went into a motor accessories shop wanting a windscreen wiper for it. The assistant's response was, 'Sounds about right! ]
It has to be the ugliest car on the road.
Subjective type of thing
