The first of Volkswagen’s ID range of vehicles, the ID3 is a normal hatchback, rather than an SUV. Think of it as an electric Golf. The Golf has in previous generations set the standard for a premium family hatch, so will the ID3 tempt a traditional Golf buyer away? We pair it with the latest MK8 Golf to find out.

Let's all fall over extension leads in the country side / villages / small towns. Stupid Ev's. Not even mentioning people who park on the road on the street they live in.... Bad range, not safe during. A huge crash, not economically after you factor in the pollution it takes to make these Ev's. High insurance... Expensive to buy brand new. At the current moment I don't see how Ev's will be popular.

Had one for 4 months now just as a commuter and it's great at that in every way. Loads of room cheap to run and on the steel wheels a nicer ride than the alloys. If you want a drivers car look else were, if you want a cheap electric that ticks all the boxes can't fault it.

So we bought one for getting everyday commute done. What I really loved about it when driving it, was exactly how unspectacular it behaved. It was just rock solid. This is a sensible car and they made every aspect of it so it's NOT about the car when you drive it. I also loved the automatic drive assist für the 60miles everyday that I want to be less involved in, instead of more. If you are looking for a car that doesn't want to shout in your face all the time how great, fun and fast it is, this is it. The interior with the hard plastic you will just never ever touch in real life, also you get a heated steering wheel for a few bucks. I am totally thrilled for getting mine in a few weeks brand new!

I'm glad they made it so undesirable, it's dirt cheap on my company car scheme! Apparently, the heat pump (a £1k option) sounds quite rattly, akin to a tiny diesel generator - its because the car is so quiet and its in the front, with the car's rear wheel drive! Add in the poor seats, cheap plastics almost everywhere and rubbish infotainment, they could have done a much better job!

By extension of the logic behind the ID.3 badge is it's the third iteration of historic releases by VW... My ID.4 is obviously the fourth, the recently released ID.5 is therefore the fifth, the ID.6 (released in China before the ID.5) was the sixth... and when they release a polo equivalent as an ID.2 it will be the second? You sure it's not a model size naming convention like BMW, Mercedes or other manufacturers?

Had mine nearly a year - same spec as the car here apart from I ordered alloys. Have to say it's great to drive, is plenty nippy, looks different enough without being bizarre and NOT ONCE have I noticed the fact that a couple of bits need backlit. Why? Because I'm more used to setting the car up for heat and not changing it during my journey and if I did I use the large touch screen. And if I want to increase or decrease the volume I use the steering wheel controls. And as for scratchy plastics - I'm not bothered as I don't spend much time feeling my car up.

Get a battery id3 or anything eaven tesla You got 5 years of use its degraded a lot warranty if i'm not mistaken is 8 years for battery? Resell value.... Bad just bad ....60-70% loss. So yea give me the sandero and lemme keep the rest of the money maybe i'd invest it in something else :)))

The steel wheels are actually lighter than the cast alloys on offer and also fit a tyre with a larger side wall for better ride quality. I've had mine in a basic spec with larger battery size for 4 months now and yes it's not a drivers car but as an A-B commute it's cheaper than burning petrol or diesel in my other cars. Also as a plus side I can keep my ICE vehicles on lower mileage and enjoy them without the maintenance costs of daily mileage.

We done team great review. I have had one for 15 months, love the car, hate all things vegan! I will not be buying any product virtue signaling by using the vegan tag ever again. My next car (coming soon) will have leather seats!

No no. It looks frumpy. The interior is unacceptable. The steel wheels are unforgivable. VW peaked with the mark 7 Golf. Too much cost cutting now. Oh, and this thing has DRUM REAR BRAKES IN 2022!!!

I had to exchange the rear disc brakes twice in 5 Years due to rust...and I own only a PHEV, a Passat GTE...would love to have drum brakes. This simply saves money for YOU as Customer. EVs using regen to brake first and later the normal brakes if needed and with this nearly never the rear Discs. As long the 100 to 0 distance is OK, and this is OK, I don't ask about the Technologie of the Brakes at all.

Space of a passat? What planet u on. Rear leg room is less, headroom is less and rear seat has knees in face. When he says loads of rear leg room yet his knees are touching rear seat and he ain’t the tallest of folks either. They need to start being more straight talking and please me more exiting. It’s like watching paint dry.

Have you been in an ID.3? I used to have a Passat and the ID.3 cabin has loads of space considering the exterior size. I'm 6 foot 1 and can sit behind the driver seat (in it's usual position for me) with no awkwardness in my position.

Far too expensive. Terrible controls for heating. Slow for an EV, and expensive extras. £1500 for a heat pump that is standard on other EVs. Cheap interior materials. Typical VW rip off
