Reviewers seem confused on whether or not they think the Polestar 2 is beautiful. The ‘truth’ is that it’s one of the most attractive cars on the road today and will turn heads everywhere you go. The styling is unique, but does not scream, “I’m an EV!” I love the discrete badging that causes onlookers to scan the car like they’re admiring a work of art in a gallery. The interior and controls are simple and well thought out, except for the cup holder. Storage isn’t great, but it’s not terrible either. The hatchback, folding seats, and flip-up grocery organizer are as practical as it needs to get for a small car. And although the Polestar 2 is small, it’s certainly not light at ~4700 lbs. Yet it hustles its weight through turns admirably and always feels planted and nimble. Acceleration is forceful but smooth, and available instantly whenever you need it. Coming from a turbo 4 cylinder car will have you thinking you’re in a space ship. One pedal driving is perfectly executed and also adjustable. The ride is comfortable but firm and road/wind noise are not too obtrusive at highway speeds. So far range has been more than comfortable for me and the free Electrify America charging has been consistently easy and fast. My battery consumption averages 25-32 kWh/100 mi which is slightly more efficient than the EPA rating. I also charge at home on a 110V outlet which gives 25-40 miles range overnight. I plan to install a 220V outlet to fully charge the battery overnight. Some minor tech complaints involve the iPhone app disconnecting, or the Android system in the car occasionally loosing LTE connection and needing to be reset. The seat senses your weight and that’s what turns the car on, but I also wish there was a way to leave the car on without being in the seat. As for the quality of the car, I have only a few gripes with some minor rattles in the interior and the overuse of shiny black plastic and scratches easily. Still, this car feels more luxurious and better-built than my BMW, and in a delightfully different Scandinavian style.

Ok, I usually don't write reviews, but I'm also in Arizona and I saw the review regarding AC in the Polestar not being so great. I have had zero problems with the AC in my Polestar. Unfortunately, the person writing that review might have had an outlier. The car is beyond what my techy husband and I could have hoped. Some things I love about the car are the technology, the pickup, and the google assistant. It just looks slick. I get compliments on it all the time. I love this car! We purchased this car after test driving the BMW i4, which I must say was disappointing compared to the Polestar.
2022 Polestar 2 love at first sight

I was sold in about an hour of learning about this vehicle. There was a bit of influence with my well maintained 2017 330 getting serviced yet again..The simple and easy to use infotainment had me at “hello”. I already ask google questions using my google hub in the house, why not ask google questions in my car? Acceleration is more than sufficient. The one pedal drive takes a bit to find the most comfortable setting, but we are best friends now. I was concerned about the open glass roof for sun glare, I forgot that it was even a concern after the first ride home. I have yet to adjust the manual dampeners, it does ride a little stiff on the bumpy roads in my neighborhood. I was told I get one free adjustment from the service center. This car just makes sense, full electric, easy to drive, easy to enjoy the ride!

Acceleration is great. People turn heads. Electric is roughly half the cost of gas with home charging 90% of the time. Although at some point the battery has to be replaced. Have over three thousand miles and no problems. Not a lot of room in the back seat. Rear seats fold down lots of room for hauling stuff. App is not up and running yet.

5000 trouble free miles 4 months into ownership. Love the Android OS. Great acceleration and handling. Don't need to pay attention to a center tablet with many sub-menus ala Tesla. Voice control and recognition is about flawless. Interior with Nappa leather is a great place to be. Performance pack allows you to manually adjust the Ohlins Dampers from comfort to track. Breaks on Performance pack are phenomenal, but rarely used as one peddle driving is what I use. Vivaldi browser and other apps keep coming, OTA performance upgrade will be available at a cost for those wanting a little more oomph on the dual motor. Price is good for what you get. Looks great.
