Bought for £23,000 in August 2024 at 4,000 miles. Now worth about £16,000 at 12,000 miles. My wife's new car, replacement for the Octavia after that died. The first EV we've owned, it will be interesting to see how it goes. <br/> <br/>First impressions are that it drives remarkably well for a 1.7 tonne hatchback. It feels very obviously RWD, which is nice, and is surprisingly composed and reasonably well-damped. <br/> <br/>Safety nannies constantly beep which is rather annoying, but they haven't really caused a problem beyond that. The LKA tugging at the wheel is gentle enough to ignore and whilst the AEB doesn't like you closing up to a stopped car in front even moderately quickly, it's hasn't detected an obstacle which isn't there yet. <br/> <br/>The speed sign recognition constantly picks up the wrong speed, so I'm glad we got a car prior to mandatory limiters!
