For me, the 200 hp of my ID.3 feels like a race car. 0-100 km/h in just 7.3 sec. is amazing. I never had a daily driver with such a power.

Talking about the noise level in the ID.3 and how quiet it is while Cannibal Corpse is paused on the stereo. Nice one! 😂

After the Porsche Taycan, for me, VW ID3 62KW(58 kW available) is undoubtfully the best, the one who provides a better driving experience and what a good insulation! (vis a vis The Tesla Model 3 that I had, this is much better with the exception of the charging stations). The most charming EV in the Market. Great music by the way!

Really enjoy your balance of what you hate and like. Keep it real

I totally agree with your rear-wheel drive (RWD) remark. I am glad that VW determined to return to its original root (Beetle and Microbus were RWD) by making the MEB platform 100% RWD and RWD-biased AWD. Plus, RWD is more cool and fun to drive than FWD.

Hi Chris, I totally agree. During my time as a Car Guy, I drove a lot of BMWs, the ID.3 drives more like a BMW than a VW. Better than a BMW in some features. So the switch from BMW to the ID.3 was not difficult for me and I grew to love it.

"not overwhelming power" -- I love this comment. I may be the only one, but I don't want a car that goes from 0-60 mph in 2 secs. I want a good daily driver.

I completely agree with everything you said! All points are very valid, but the most in underrated point in general is (imo) nr. 4. The turning circle is just amazing, and you have no idea what it means unless you've driven it. But here in the Netherlands, with pretty cramped parking spaces in some place, and parallel parking (which I do every day in front of my house) it is just amazing.

Also: I was wondering if you were gonna make this video, after the "7 dislike" video 🤣

Additions to your list: I love the spacious, open cabin very much. Now I really feel cramped in „regular“ cars. Also the winter performance is amazing. The car supports driving exceptionally well when the roads are slippery. I never felt so safe when driving in winter.

After 13000 km total driving i got the 2.0 software installed and the AR-HUD is fantastic. I also like the travel assist, and the electric seat's sittingposition. The car is fantastic, my only bad opinion was the first buggy software.

I just noticed a light on the inside of the outside mirror. This indicates when a car is on your right or left side (and blind spot).
I really like that.

Love the negative and positive videos Chris, thanks! Shared both to the UK owners group on Facebook. My personal favourite has to be the matrix headlights - I struggle with night vision after an issue 25 years ago and just LOVE how much better night driving is for me now!

I can't believe how much I like the interior lighting - from the ID light down to the floor. I would have been dismissive of it as a gimmick before living with it.

[jeffmelodia]

In California anxiously awaiting my AWD ID4. Your show is very helpful. Thank you

[danielardelian]

I fully agree with you about suspension, steering and RWD feeling.

[carlbakpedersen]

That´s so true. A very good ride and not a single failure since I bought it in late 2020

[markomaenpaa]

I would add the whole heating. My app heating does not work (there is fix but I have not got it yet) so no preheating for me, but when I sit into the car in -25 it will only take minute to be confortable. Heater will start to heat right away, not blowing cold air around as in ICE. Stearingwheel and seats starts to heat nicely. You can take of your cloves right away. BTW the buttons and screen works with cloves. I tested, but I never will drive with cloves on. This is one of those things that is true for most of the electric cars, but I really really like it.

I just got my id.3 and I love it so much. I want to drive it 100 meters to shop

[davidtydeman]

Thank you for both the things you like AND don’t like

[daverotors]

Thanks for all the videos! Will pick mine up on Monday :-D
