      Rear disc brakes get rusty even on many petrol cars, you have strong 145 kw braking capacity on rear tyres already, so rear brakes come to action only once in a time. It just makes sence to have brakes withm minimum mantanence and wear in time. Disk brakes are better in stopping power and cooling, you dont need any of those hete.

    Matt you mention the 'creaky' brakes in a lot of your EV reviews. Because of "one pedal driving" the brakes are not used very much and thus a small layer of dirt / rust builds up (more) on the brake discs and this causes the squeaking. After braking a few times it should be gone for a while.

    Honest opinion. The drum brakes are a good thing. They don't need much maintenance. They do not get rusty as brake disks which is a real problem if your home is anywhere with snow in the winter, even with ICE cars without regen braking. And for every day usage and even some fast cornering they are easily good enough.

      Not only do they rust, which is not pretty to look at, but i believe they also get stuck.
      Which is why the Tesla Model 3 needs regular brake caliper lubrication according to the linked article.

    I have a q4 Quattro. It is quiet and comfortable to drive. The main reservations apply to all electric cars. It is very expensive to buy and insure. The depreciation is astonishingly rapid - my £60 K was worth only £34 K after 18 months. And then there is the range. At 80% charging, and in winter, I start off with 170 miles, and many rural and even urban areas are poorly supported in terms of chargers. Driving at 70 mph considerably reduces range. The final insult is that whereas my Q3 could tow a medium
    Sized caravan with ease, the q4 (despite its 300 horse power) cannot tow more than about 1 tonne - I.e. micro caravans at most. Pity.

    Almost certain to get the Q4 having tried an Enyaq and Ionic 5 as well. All 3 are very good cars but the Ionic 5 boot is just too small for me - it says 520 litres in the brochure but in real life it’s very shallow and the tailgate is steeply raked so it’s just not practical for the family gear. The Enyaq does have the biggest boot in real life but there’s not that much in it compared to the Q4.
    However the kicker is cost - I’m a company car driver and at similar specs leasing the Q4 is cheaper than the Enyaq (at least it is on my Company scheme). This is down to the expected residual value for the Audi being far higher than the Skoda. Just need to decide colour now!

    - show me the Audi app and what I can do remotely? (you will be surprised by lack of functionality)

    3 benefits of drum brakes... 1) when not in use (which is most of the time with regen braking) they don't touch the drum (unlike disc calipers), resulting in lower drag/friction... 2) they make a park brake easier (cheaper) to hook up... 3) they are cheaper. So there yer go.

    You take the desire out of forking out huge cash to buy cars. You point out design and functional mistakes and surprisingly there are so many. We have retrograded because in the 1970s we had big Cadillacs and you could sit an entire family in the front seat, no bucket seats. In the end I got the XC40. The seat was very uncomfortable for me giving me back ache but over a year I got used to it. Other than that it is the best car out there and I enjoy driving it so much. There are things with it like the orange engine light can mysteriously go on but it is of no consequences, and after 32k miles sometimes the engine feels revved but these are only minor things.
