VW ID.7

VW ID.7 arrives as Volkswagen's electric grand tourer, pairing a low-slung, aerodynamic silhouette with a calm, understated interior that prioritizes comfort and space. It’s a sensible choice for buyers who want a relaxed, high-tech cruiser that covers motorway miles with poise rather than bravado.

The Smart attracts with its power and charging. I ended up choosing the ID7, though. The decision was influenced by it being European and by my three years' experience with the ID4. The ID4 has been an excellent vehicle.

Range is completely wrong compared to what’s shown. In reality you can only rely on about 60% of the distance. The boot only opens for whoever has the key? That’s a massive headache for my work.

It is a super comfortable car with a charging from 10-80% in less than 20 minutes. This car is also a very economic car as it is fully electric.

VW Amarok

The VW Amarok is a surprisingly refined pickup that blends rugged capability with car-like comfort, feeling equally at home on a worksite or a weekend escape. Practical, well‑mannered and a little bit charismatic, it’s a smart choice for buyers who need honest utility without sacrificing everyday drivability — and yes, it can be oddly addictive to drive.
