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.

I have a polestar 2 2022 long range single battery with pilot plus bought brand new at the time. Initially I loved it the drive, the features. Until the 1 year mark the only issues I had was with the service stations. The communication with them was terrible and with customer service. I had bought warranties on everything and there was a bit of back and forth when I needed windshield and tire changed; eventually they honored my warranty. After the 1 year service I don't know what happened but we had so many issues with the IHU. We had the headlight system shut down on us, some ghost breaking, the black screen of death, our center tablet would turn off when driving. This all escalated and service center kept saying they couldn't recreate the issue. This escalated until the system didn't notify that the trunk had opened and we were reversing in our garage and the trunk dented. Polestar finallay switched out the IHU system but wouldn't repair the dent saying they couldn't recreate the issue. They sent our car back without a seatbelt latch for the passenger side seat so we drove back from the airport without a seatbelt. Since recieving it back we're having issues with a clicking noise from the front driver wheel, and the AC being on and blasted really loudly but not actually cooling. We're looking into Lemon law and buyback which is saddening because that first year I loved the car. But we've had so many issues - i think it has more to do with the service station IDK what they did. I would love to replace with another polestar that is working and has none of these issues but definately scared especially due to the safety issues. The headlight issue and ghostbreaking happened on the freeway.

Positives: Acceleration, Trim package with leather, handling all really nice . The car feel like a rocket on air . It is truly a superb driving car. Negatives : compartment space. It is a little spartan with little room to store stuff inside. It takes some getting used to. The iPad has some minor glitches. The two year battery America is nice if you can find a station with working chargers. And once that app is working it is a great bargain to charge there . The dealership was great and charge America customer service is also great .

This is a driver’s car. The acceleration is a game changer, the steering and cornering is precise, the ride is silent, and the technology, while it had a bumpy start a couple of years ago is solidly ironed out and engaging now. I’ll admit, I did take a bit to adjust, and there are clear flaws like the cup holder and large intrusive center console - but they are far outweighed by the blinding bright spots Edit two years in: The software still needs an occasional reboot, but it has gotten better. I found a way to get 3d printed cupholders for the doors. It’s still a blast to drive, and has held up really well. I would definitely buy it all over again.
