Nice looking car but not really a sports car. When they started putting V8s in them, they were.

I almost bought one but after I Googled the charging system and method, it is too complicated and the range is only 260 miles, not enough for me to travel long distance so I decided to change my mind. A CPO is not expensive with a low mileage one. I do understand the Polestar is actually under Volvo. You can still find some Volvo Polestar engine management. They are fast and firm. Too complicated about the charging.

I have been renting a Polestar by Hertz in Europe for 5 days now and found it to be faultless, The navigation system is absolutely brilliant and the car is a pleasure to drive.

Man I loved my e90, sadly it’s been a headache the past couple months with battery/voltage problems that I no longer want to deal with plus I’ve driven it over 210k miles. I’ve let it go and now drive a 2015 volvo s60 that I absolutely adore but miss the charm my e90 had, especially the idrive system. The e90 is a great car that everyone should buy just make sure to take meticulous care of it and it’ll do the same for you. For the first car I’ve owned and worked on myself it’s relatively easy to do diy work on too plus it’s significantly cheaper than bringing it to repair shops or the dealer and parts are also widely available (thank you fcp euro).

Two of these issues (targa top removal, rear hatch seal degradation) are solved by buying the ragtop variation. Still, the coupes are more affordable on average. Pick your battles, I guess.

35 dollars for returning it under 70% what? It costs them in less than $5 to charge it back. It should be charge free. It sounds greedy and they're just missing out on market by doing that.

I'm looking at these in a Grand Sport. I WANT a C8, and while the price (new & used) is arguably legitimate it's touch out of my budget if I want to do anything else with my life. In addition, I'm a big guy and feel more comfortable in a C6. The C7 is... snug by comparison; and the C8 feels like I'm putting on spandex!

@mikekolodziej255518 күн бұрын
You’re picking apart a rental R8 obviously the price would reflect the wear on the vehicle and your observation about the paint is very fixable Correction that would need to be done i’m sure the price would reflect The condition. Also the driver seat it only has normal wear on the side where you get in not where your legs are at the bottom of the . Also the Rim is scuffed that doesn’t mean somebody neglected or beat the car . You should probably know more about used vehicles and supercars before making a review video on a vehicle that is literally a rental from Turo and you’re obviously just speculating that the car is not in good condition. You never mentioned anything about service records. and if you are getting into an Audi or a you should know that you’re going to have to pay for things to be fixed for you to point out the rim and cosmetic things those are things that are all fixable that a person who is probably gonna sell the car would have those issues addressed otherwise I’m sure the price would be negotiable. And I’m sure if he had the paint corrected and the rims fixed you would say that car is in perfect condition.

I purchased a 2016 C7, 2LT, Z51 pkg 2 years ago, 1 owner, 3400 miles. As I comment I just passed 10,000 miles. Simply love the car. Just watch for Active Fuel Management (AFM) that was not mentioned in this video. I recently purchased the AFM bypass so the car stays in V8 mode instead of constantly switching back and forth between V4 and V8. Plenty of videos on UTube in regards to this issue, check them out. Also this may sound crazy but the car is not equipped with blind side mirrors, so you have to adjust. Also and this goes for all newer cars, check out UTube videos on all the options and how to actually use them. Lot better than reading the manual. Car is loaded with technology, fantastic car.

1987 I had a coontash 5000 S. It was the biggest piece of garbage I ever owned. You could see the road through the floor boards. It was horrible to drive. I sold it within 2 weeks of buying it. I actually gave it away to get it out of my garage. You couldn't give me any of their products for free that goes for Ferrari as well. They are nothing but money grabs for the manufacture they give you nothing in performance. Take my word for it I've been there done that. Would never do it again?
