Thanks Derek...do like the Born even if it doesn't work for me but still like the look of it inside and out. Yup the tongue thing I do as well, as did my Dad when concentrating and don't even realise it. :)

[@johnkane46]

The standard born and its class.

[@MrGMawson2438]

Afternoon mate yes it is a lot better than the ID.3

[@peakproofuk]

Glad you kinda mentioned the paddles. Needs a bit more taking about surely?!

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Absolutely when I have it for longer on Irish roads!

[@Jacob-uk4kl]

Thanks

Welcome

Kia EV3 looks much better finished. VW will need to raise their game I think

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Looking forward to driving the EV 3

[@jasonwalsh8299]

VW are holding back on the Cupra brand so it doesn't outshine the VW cars. I find the VW EV lineups a bit boring. The Cupra has a chance to shine but is being purposely held back.

[@user-mz5hy2jh9x]

​@NevoEVReviewIreland, do you know if we're getting the ev5 in Ireland?

[@ClarionCaww]

That new Kia design is not for everyones taste. I think it's pig ugly, including this EV3 but each to their own 😂

[@benpatana7664]

Definitely one to shortlist when it becomes available! The regular Born is a very good EV, but certainly not a hot hatch. This will be of interest to the true afficianado, including those whose signifcant other has said they can't have the Golf R. I see they haven't quite got round to replacing the haptic touch buttons with conventional ones, which are now back on the facelifted Golf. VAG never moves quickly!

[@MrGMawson2438]

Cheers mate I don't drive lol could you try one of these ? Geely's Galaxy E5 gets Aegis LFP battery with highest energy density EVER The Electric Viking

[@markymarkreviews]

£47k to £50k fully specced- UK prices!!??. They are having a laugh! Good luck selling any without big discounts. The EV market is becoming mega competitive at present with ever bigger batteries, better efficiencies and longer ranges. All EVs generally drive well. Nothing much about this (looks nice and nice seats but a pretty dark uninspiring cabin) to qualify its big price tag. Dealers are nothing special either.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

That is a very big price tag

[@POTThaesslich]

@@markymarkreviews there isn’t much in that class though. 79kwh, up to 185kw charging, compact car.

[@06younger]

Hi Derek..........did you mention the WLTP ?????? Also.......do we think this will be mid 50's when it lands in our shores??

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

I did 05:12 and I'd say it would be around that price hopefully a little cheaper

[@adrianbyron-parker5797]

and 2 with "rear" window switches.. do VAG never learn?

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

🤣

[@adrianbyron-parker5797]

where are the rear air vents..

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Oh, great question! I was in too much of a rush to notice

[@mikees60]

This, or Smart #3?

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

#3 for me probably. The haptic buttons and older software on the CUPRA is it's weakness

[@mikees60]

@@NevoEVReviewIreland Noted, thanks

[@MrGMawson2438]

VW would do with a EV Golf
