Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Easy to drive. All controls easily accessible. After almost 3 years Battery SOH is still 100%. I have never attempted to drive from Battery full to empty. My longest trip on record is 183 miles which was completed on 81% of full charge. That was in June. In winter it would probably only do 150 miles on 81% charge. The acceleration is amazing but the front wheels are inclined to spin if too much pedal pressure is used, especially on wet roads.

How reliable do you find the car?

I just jump in and go.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I have owned dozens of car's over almost 67 years of driving, starting with a Riley Lincock in 1956 (crash gearbox). This is by far the best.
