It's a technologically advanced car, but somewhere along the way VW forgot the pleasant cabin and the comfortable ride. It IS a VW — and that redeems it.

I have an ID.4 GTX and it drives like a dream — loads of extra power, sits well on the road, high seating position, quiet. I can see other cars have bigger screens, but mine works fine.
