So what do you think of the Honda E now we've had a good look around it? And would you consider one instead of the new Renault Zoe or MG ZS EV?

[oscarinthemiddle]

The battery is intended to maintain the multiscreen system, driving is optional ;)

Love the design of the price & range will hurt sales badly.

[colinrenfrew]

A bold move from Honda, but sadly too many compromises. I’ll wait for better range, cheaper pricing, and a proper charging infrastructure.

If I was wealthy I would buy this car for my daughter/wife and secretly borrow it. Love the styling and quirky design. At that price though you’d really have to value styling over practicality in a big way.

Looks amazing, I’d 100% buy it if the range was that of the Zoe

Everything else went over my head until I heard that you can connect this with your games console. I'm sold.

11:00 That means I can connect a gaming pc to the car via hdmi and plug it into power socket, then do some powerpoint, gaming, movies and after effects projects, lol.

poor range for ~£30k & no boot space, shame as it looks pretty cool

[richardharker]

Nothing wrong with this car for the intended purpose. Sadly some reviewers focus on what it cannot do more than what it is.

[nitelite]

The concept was a bit cooler. They made the release car a bit too rounded and cute.

I'm not convinced by the wing mirror screens and rearview mirror screen. It seems like Honda are adding loads of screens that will need to be replaced to try and make up for the loss of engine parts they can sell.

Piling on other comments, looks good, but the range is miserable, for that price...

[PaddyMcMe]

Beautiful location you chose... I particularly love the buildup of the mud/clay/sand on the wheels. You're doing a great job!

[derleon]

I sit in the Honda E when i was at ifa 2019 it was very nice. I hope there will be a Option in the future with at least 300km range

[herrgolf]

Love that it allows one pedal driving and the interior design is a triumph and it’s cute outside too. Glad they put effort into the chassis. Ultimately a very Hondaesque effort.

[valeriangelov]

Got a suggestion for you guys - would be great if you start using the Metric system along side Imperial one

[faizshaikh]

Its range isn't calculated in KMS its calculated in SOT (Screen on Time).

[edmaluf]

There's one thing that I absolutely would need in this car. Or any other car with massive screens/displays: The ability to turn all of them OFF, and keep just the speedometer and the battery charge level. When I'm driving at night, I don't want all that glare around me.

[evilmario]

Agreed with comments so far. The range isn't good enough and the prototype was way more appealing with subtle differences over this one. Still, I hope it's a success despite the views of Honda's CEO

[ragemydream]

I was super excited to get one of these and then i saw the price tag....
