WHY MY MUM HATES THE NEW CAR I GOT HER!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer's mother, initially a fan of her Tesla Model 3 for its style, comfort, and performance, ultimately found its range anxiety and occasional usability issues (like tire inflation) too significant. She has swapped it for a Volkswagen Golf R, appreciating its familiar petrol engine, sporty sound, and perceived 'realness'. While the Golf R's firm suspension (due to the omission of adaptive dampers to save cost) was initially a concern, she has grown to love the car, finding it more pleasurable and lively to drive. The reviewer highlights the significant cost saving achieved by opting against adaptive dampers, a decision that initially risked alienating his mother but ultimately proved worthwhile as she adapted to the firmer ride and embraced the Golf R's performance and practicality, especially the absence of range anxiety. The Tesla Model 3 was sold through CarWow for a considerably higher price than a trade-in offer, indicating a successful sale.
