    I actually like the the dashboard with the moving screen. The capacitive buttons... not so much. Especially strange that the temperature sliders are not lit up. Car design looks cool too. I would choose Vapor Grey color. Similar colors are becoming more popular, but look interesting.
    And yeah, the lorry driver made a mistake when he started moving. He had the STOP sign- he stopped. He had the mirror on the road to check for cars. He probably checked and started moving, but you just appeared when he thought that the road was clear. Stay safe! =)

    @olemars 2 года назад +4

    This seems to be the kind of car I'm looking for, a well specced compact car with decent performance, I don't really need it to be very sporty. Looks nice too. A lot of the features on the Cupra you only get if you go for a much larger car right now, most of the compact EVs available are comparatively "feature-poor", on some of them even a reverse camera is a pricy extra. The Born is even a good bit cheaper than a similarly specced ID.3 here in Norway. I was a bit unsure about the colors but the vapor grey looks a lot better in this video than in the promo pictures, so that will probably be the color I go for.

      it’s actually a law, not a „safety feature“. lights are not allowed to be on a movable bodypanel, like the trunk, otherwise they need a secondary pair of taillights like they did on the bumper of the Audi Q7 and Q5, or on the inside of the trunk like the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer and BMW iX

    Great review again, right on the spot!! I happen to be seriously considering of ordering one, I drove it and cannot agree more on the pluses and minuses, actually and strangely enough there were only two minuses as also mentioned on this review. First and most importantly the feel of the brakes which sometimes give you the impression that they don't work well, feels like you are pushing the pedal but you cannot get the braking you expect and you are about to crash!!! I dont know why but luckily it doesn't happen all the time, I guess its a matter of familiarisation and adjustment, or a least I hope so. Secondly that loud sound of the turn signals, I cant see a reason of them being so loud, but I guess its only a matter of getting used to it! Seriously now, I think I will order it tomorrow! Good work Autogefuhl!

    Weight limits preventing you having the panoramic roof and the large battery basically rules out this as a compact fun family car for holiday trips. EV's seem to be trending to larger cars for family's and small cars for young people which is questionable given the amount of power a base EV will have in future compared to the first car of a young person currently.
    Impressive car considering how boring the ID.3 is but the AC/ volume controls EV infotainment letting it down along with the capacitive buttons on the wheel.

    I have ordered a Cupra Born here in Sydney, Australia. I am looking forwards to it arriving whenever that happens. I am a little disappointed that we won’t get the same spec Cupra cars as our British and European friends. Missing in our Version 3 equivalent model is the heads up displays, GPS module, glass roof and more. I’ve ordered the performance and interior package/upgrades so feel a little short changed with the above missing. With Tesla’s price cuts it’s tempting to just get a Tesla model three which are a dime a dozen here now. So I’m going for style, an engaging driving experience and Spanish tuning and flair.

    car manufacturers invest so much money in finding the "right" sound for their turning indicators, while I feel most drivers just want that sound to be as silent as possible (especially in EV's it can be really disturbing). Why don't most manufacturers offer the option of controlling the volume (some do), or even get rid of it completely? You have arrows on your screen, so you don't have to hear the sound to know the indicators are on.

    I personally think it is sad that MEB vehicles does not have higher HP models. In my mind it is not hard and very expensive to build stronger motors. E.g. this one has 231 hp, Tesla Model 3 SR+ 320, Performance 430 hp.
    Id.4 gtx has 295 hp, which starts to be OK, but still, it feels that they have missed an EV opportunity.

    Definitely a more appealing version of the VAG smaller electric platform. Those user interface issues bother me. I also question why so many brands put the charging cable storage UNDER the boot floor: If you carry anything in the boot then accessing the cables because really awkward.

    The interior in the cupra born definitely looks better than the id3’s but I’m not sure about that rear bumper design 🤔 I’ve got an id3 on order it’s not as exciting looking but still a good EV 🔋

    That pit in the middle of the rear seat looks just like a bucket for holding your personals so they don't move around while Thomas is doing some "spirited" driving ;)

    was exited for this car until they showed the infotainment, why do VAG stand by making infotainment with less performance than a midrange phone from 6+ years ago?

    • @scottwills4698
      @scottwills4698 2 года назад

      I have an ID3 and the infotainment is fine. If I was buying a tablet maybe I’d think it’s a bit laggy but it’s a car and you spend more than 99.9% of the time not touching the screen (and if you do, maybe you shouldn’t be driving). So it’s no issue, Apple CarPlay is excellent and you can navigate including charging via Waypoints using ABRP - (you can even have live data if you buy a dongle). There really is no issue with it since V2.1 (current is V2.3). If you want to pick on anything - the app is rubbish.

    Besten Dank. Wie ist die Innenlautstärke bzw. Dämmung des Fahrzeugs?

    On some markets , like US, you need to have the stop light, and turn signals visible even if the trunk is open. That is why they left the lights on the body, not on the trunk door.
    All the haptic buttons are crap. Just a big pile of cost saving. The two window buttons too, the hard plastics... it's all money. We are not customers to them any more, we are just piggy banks. They are giving more money for the stupid marketing department than the cars themselves. I refuse to pay the marketing pencil pushers and on the other hand the hard working people that really produce are left to deal with VW quality issues. Fire some 100 people from the marketing, give us back the real buttons and knobs, put in some quality and leave the product to sell by itself. Like the good old days.

    Does it feel as quick as a golf GTI while chaining turns or do you feel like it lacks punch between corners?

      The ID3 is as fast as the GTI so this should feel much faster

      EVs don't lack punch between corners! You are always in the correct gear .. press the pedal and go.

    what's the point in all these different subbrands if the interiors are basically the same. Same instrument cluster, same layout. If anything they should diversify to try different things and see what sticks.
