Ok #EV #weirdautos peeps, recommendations please.

We don’t think we need 3 vehicles and we are thinking of keeping the #Roadtek #CamperVan and chopping in the #SoulEV and Qashqai.

Absolutely top budget is £20k so 4+ top spec 30k mile late e-Nero seem the obvious target and we are going to look at one tomorrow hopefully.🤞

Unfortunately X-Power MG4 are still just out of budget (and too big and wide IMO) but is there anything more fun or #weirdcarmastodon that we should consider?

We went to have a good look at the #e_Niro today and we loved its practicality and features. And it looks quite nice in dark blue in a grown up respectable kinda way. But it’s just so dull after the #SoulEV especially on the inside.

So we have lots of thinking, number crunching and Soul, or E_Nero, searching to do 🤔

Update

We had a good discussion and have come the the conclusion we can’t part with the #SoulEV it’s just too quirky and fun. I can’t believe how attached we are to it after 14 months.

But we now have enough in the car kitty to trade the Qashqai for an #e_Niro … unless the MD (wife) changes her mind about things before I do a deal 😂

Test drive done and deposit left RYC the #e_Niro will be mine 🥳

… just as soon as I can get shot of the Qashqai. Hopefully one of the local traders or national buy your car places will come up with a reasonable price as the dealer wouldn’t even make an offer 🤷‍♂️🤞

At least the dealer experience was sooo much nicer than Daughter had with THAT car supermarket in Leeds.

Good bye Qashqai 👋

It has been sold to WeBuyAnyCar.Com

Such an easy way to sell and I got what I needed (it didn’t owe me any money), so now it’s all systems go with the #e_Niro purchase 👍

New to me car collection day has arrived.

We had horrendous rain last night and a storm is expected tomorrow but the sun is out at the moment ☀️

First the dogs are going to the vets for their monthly arthritis jabs.

Wish us all luck 😉🤞

RYCy is home safe!

Absolutely loved the hellish 40mph average speed cam roadworks on dual carriageway with the fancy follow the car in front and stay in lane cruise and lane guidance.

Hated the 2 hours lost trying to find how to reset the fackinn’ thing back to MPH as someone reset it to KPH after the test drive 🤬

It’s only easy or possible when you know it’s 4 levels deep in the SatNav Settings menu wtaf?

@BitchinRob nothing like picking up a new car (‘pre-loved’ or not!). Enjoy

@JamieR cheers Janie, it’s the first time in 15 years I’ve not collected a ‘new’ car off the boat at Newcastle bought unseen for Japan.

So the excitement is untainted by knowing I’ve seen it and driven it AND the wife approves the car.

… so 5 years of “why did you buy this horrible noisy boy racer slammed hot hatch that you never drive? I f’kin’ hate it!!” is hopefully gonna be avoided 🤣

@vwdasher Internet says there is a 2020 update that puts this on the ‘Other Settings’ on the steering wheel accessible system. AS IT SHOULD BE.

It’s a 2022 car 🤯😭

@vwdasher I will enquire But now I know how it’s less of a problem

It’s not going to Europe as we have the #Roadtek for that, so I can’t see me ever needing to change it again anyway

@vwdasher to be fair It has a button to take you right back to CarPay wherever you are the AV/Nav screen system ✅

and all buttons and dials for climate so it’s wonderful to use

ONCE SET UP RIGHT
