Why my Mum HATES the NEW car I got her!

Get 20% off Automobile Vertical utilizing code Carwow:

The time has come for Mat's mum to change her cars and truck!

A couple of months back, she test-drove a number of different cars and trucks with Mat, and her favourite one was the Golf R – and it's lastly been provided!

The thing is, however, it's reasonable to state she enjoyed the time she spent with her Tesla Model 3. From the style through to the comfort and performance, she has actually enjoyed her time in her first EV.

However although she liked the vehicle, she has still chosen to offer it. When requested for the factor, there were a couple of niggles, from the level of notifies and notifications that the car emits, through to trouble with inflating the tyres, apparently. But there was one crucial problem that we're sure numerous other EV motorists have an issue with – range anxiety. With the restricted series of the Tesla, paired with possible issues when it comes to charging, she has just ever kept herself to short journeys in her Tesla.

So the concern is, once she's been dealing with the Golf R for a while, will she choose it to the Tesla? Or will she be wishing she had kept hold of the EV? And will Mat be able to resell the Tesla for a reasonable amount?! You'll need to stick with Mat and his mum to see on your own!

    If she’s not using the performance of the R, I’m sure she’d prefer a base Golf with the much better ride.

      Totally. I feel like Matt just became too much of a car reviewer in general – can’t appreciate anything unless the handling is sharp af, suspension sporty af, no matter who the car is aimed at or what’s its price. Same sitch here: I get wanting to buy a superb car for one’s mum, but come on, it needs to be hella comfy! That is a must, not handling or power or random tech. Although it seems like he learned from this, I don’t envy that disappointed feeling I coudl see on his face…

      yeah 16 inch tyres are probably the way to go for her.
      honestly the best car for her would be a base polo or clio with an automatic gearbox.
      although she seems to be struggle with parking without high res cameras because somehow she finds it easier to park with a 4,7m long tesla over a 4,2m long golf lmao.

    1. @paulaschofield Avatar
      @paulaschofield

      I’m from NZ and we rented a Polestar 2 in the UK during September for a road trip and was really impressed with the charging network. Not once did we see any chargers with covers on them and out of service. On arrival at Tebay Services it was evident that the EVolt chargers were misbehaving, so we drove 15mins down the M6 to Killinton and charged there without any problem. No range anxiety, no stress. We used 7 charging networks including Tesla. We drove to Cornwall and up to Scotland. We made use of overnight public AC charging where we didn’t have charging at our accommodation. Owning an EV in the UK is easy, even for road trips.
