Love the look, with very cool rims. Interesting that you are also choosing the next as electric. I’m paying attention that all (or most) brands are offering more and more EV models, so it’s clear to me that that should be the next practical and intelligen...
Also, for now anyway we will continue to always have an hybrid car in the mix and not just a full electric car. So for me a full electric car is for use mainly for my daily commute or driving needs. I would not use it for a long trip anyway. But your I wi...
I wouldn't be in a rush to get the new Electric Volvo. Who knows if the first models coming off the line in 2024 will be reliable or not. Although I feel like a guinea pig with my Tesla every day almost. But at least Tesla had made many hundreds of thousa...
The Tesla Model Y is cheap, probably meets most of your needs, very reliable, and very efficient and cost economical to run. And should be very reliable in the long run. Reasonably fun to drive too. Build quality is also quite solid these days. And road n...
Who knows if it'll be any good. They didn't skimp out on the tires to get more range (one way to get more range is to have skinny tires, but this reduces braking ability). But the brake caliper and the brake rotors look tiny in the wheel. A common problem...
May i ask what were the thoughts behind the decision, apart from looking nice ? I bought a RAV4 AWD Hybrid recently and it took me months to make up my mind, but the end, it was an easy choice : Hybrid AWD Toyota > Quality Price < 50K CHF for a "full o...
The seat! (I have back problem and the Volvo seat are so comfortable for me); Air suspension - comfort Auto Pilot - required as driving in traffic gives me back problem and I really like the Volvo Auto Pilot, not as advance as Tesla but better then most G...
And as you said, on paper, it's a quality product with great long-term reliability, and the price is even reasonable. But sometimes Toyota products just don't feel the same on the road as European cars. There's a certain sense of stability that the Europe...
I had a BMW 3 series long time ago, when i was young and handsome. The steering of BMW is just razor sharp. Before the BMW i had a Mercedes E420 V8 and boy was this car comfortable. Two attributions that RAV4 lacks. On the other hand, Toyota of course is ...
The Tesla might not have the build quality. But it's getting better. And EUROPEAN markets get the made in China version which is probably better than the made in Fremont, USA version. But yes, there are certainly a lot of benefits in certain cantons in CH...
Tesla is impressive, thats for sure! I tried the model Y, but compared to the size and price to the RAV4, i had to go with the RAV4. And while we drive from time to time to south europe, it was clear that a pure electric one would have been tough, when it...
Rules in CH i think are quite simple... The heavier the car and the bigger the volume of the engine, the more expensive the road tax / registration plates get. In some cantons, electric cars have certain discounts from this, but only temporary... Insuranc...
I had a Volvo S60T5 waaaaaaay back in the day and the one thing I'll always remember was how dang comfy the seats were compared to my in-laws Mercedes!
I had 3 for a span of about 30 years then switched when the Wagons got heavier, more expensive and smaller inside (veritable Swedish armored car) I do keep watching them and the Polestars. Happy driving! Sitting in my driveway as the kids are walking home...
