    So many people dislike or think it's plain, IMO I think it looks fantastic, the lighting looks really good, it's a very clean design. The lines are not too busy, yet it's tastefully modern looking and I think it's going to age well. They could definitely do an R version and I'm sure it would look fantastic🎉😊

      @joemcdonough7509 Месяц назад +5

      I totally agree. Styling is subjective. I really like clean sweeping designs like the ID.4 and Ford Lightning vs. the aggressive ones such as the Kia EV9, which reminds me of something out of transformers and really turns me off.
      But to each their own when it comes to styling.

    • @CorgEV
      @CorgEV Месяц назад +3

      I like the ID4 styling - mature & timeless. My take on styling on its competitor EVs kia EV9 overstyled, ioniq 5 retro very well done, mustang mach e - sporty & well transitioned, model y - awkward, look forward to Rivian R2.

      @@CorgEV I'm pretty much in alignment with your styling tastes. The Ioniq 5 looks great. And yes that Rivian R2 could be a major hit with its classic clean box shape.
      On the positive side, The EV9 seems to be the outlier while boxy clean shapes are trending upward these days.

      @joemcdonough7509 definitely, I do like the EV9, Ioniq 5, and EV6. The Ioniq 5 is just a fun design, I think it looks elegant in a very retro Modern Way. I think they did a great job, but even though I might think it still looks good years from now I could see why it might not age as well. At least they're trying. Looks way better than an IX👌💯

    A friend recently bought one of these (a fully equipped 2022 model for $28k) and drove me around town while I was visiting. It's much nicer inside than I was expecting. Very smooth ride quality, comfortable seats, quiet, decent power, and plenty of tech goodies. I'm still not a huge fan of the exterior styling but it seems like a very pleasant car to live with, and it's a great deal lightly used.

      The brakes are a non issue, given the fact that it has good regen. The cap buttons aren't a problem either, my wife drives a '23 model, and I drive a M3P. If it weren't for the charging network, and performance.... he id4 would win out.

    I almost ended up in this but they issued a stop sale while I was shopping. Ended up in a Volvo instead. Wishing the brand the best but they really should have brought the ID3 and ID4 out here together to create a base then offer the Buzz. They also should have figured out a way to get the USA tax credit on these as they are quite overpriced.

    Per Google, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S with rear-wheel drive (RWD) can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (mph) in 5.9 seconds. With the available 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the Golf GTI can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Unlike what this review states, this vehicle is will not smoke the GTI. In fact, it is slightly slower than the GTI.

    • @Vandantcyclone
      @Vandantcyclone Месяц назад

      He did 5.6 seconds and 5.9 uphill. If he’s right about the AWD version doing 5.0 or under seconds 0-60 that’s still pretty impressive. I don’t think it would smoke a GTI either though.

Can't wait to get it delivered. I really love the way this car looks, especially compared to the imho b*tt ugly Tesla Model Y. I also really appreciate the little instrumentarium screen behind the steering wheel. The lack of it which is another reason a Tesla wasn't part of my consideration.

      Drum brakes need way less maintenance and are less prone to corrosion. Especially the rear wheel brake is vulnerable to corrosion in EV, because due recuperation, they are used rarely. So drum brakes are a the better solution for the back wheel and still fulfil every modern safety standards. I hope this helps 😉👍

    between now and say
    July of 2025
    the picture we'll become more clear
    when the 7500 for new and 4K for used
    Federal Tax EV credits will expire:
    If dealership's are smart
    they will gamble, that it's better to take
    a financial large loss that is big and painful now
    in 2025, than even a bigger more painful loss
    in 2026 when the credits expire for would be
    first time EV owners, who frankly are going
    to largely dissapear in the United States beginning in
    2026:
    Good Example of what I think is going to happen is
    this:
    The newly redesigned New 2024 Subaru Solterra Premium
    and newly redesigned New 2024 VW ID PRO that have still not sold,
    will be potentially on ''fire sale'' and available for
    30,000 out the door with all taxes and dealership fee's and commission's,
    As of right now this is just a hunch as I write this
    on Nov 25, 2024, but it's not outside the realm of possibility,
    we are quite frankly in very bumpy unknown waters, so buckle up and stay vigilant
    if your an EV shopper, 2025 could easily be the last year to get in at the best
    possible price point, (elections do really have consequences sometimes, and
    this is one of those times)

    Sorry, but its missing too many conveniences and too many compromises to be that expensive. Paying more money and getting a lot less than an ICE vehicle just doesn't make sense to me. Besides, I like a sunroof that opens. I actually use my sunroof especially during the fall and southern California winters.
    BTW, the 2025 GTI will do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds so it won't "smoke" the GTI.

I personally like the boring unassuming look of the ID 4. Not every electric vehicle has to look unique. I like the Ioniq 5 too but realize it’s not something everyone will rock/drive around. The interior having as many cheap plastics and the cost cutting measures is the thing that annoys me the most.
