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.

I test drove Ford’s Mach-e, Polestar 2, and VW’s ID.4 - each twice. Was waiting for Volvo’s C40 to become available for test drive, but anticipated arrival kept being pushed back. Same with the AWD version of ID.4 (some find it preferable). Chose to lease the Polestar with intention to purchase unless some tech breakthrough occurs. Driving it 1 1/2 years now and it’s a great car for me! Both commuting and road-trips are brand new and fun. I continue with conditional plans to purchase the perfect pre-owned car. We’ve sailed north to Montreal and down to South Carolina (plus many regional adventures. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend. Especially fun to drive with assertive fun for me, then use considerately conservative operation for my wonderful wife. Never need more cargo room than the fold-down seats allow. 🙂

Acceleration and driving dynamics are great. It is a very engaging sport sedan. It feels more refined than a S60. Interior is fine. It looks good, but wish for nicer cloth seats option, like the Volvo wool fabric. The biggest issue is quirky software and lack of reliability. Do your research. The car has significant bugs and the car will leave you stranded. It is happening way too frequently with OTA and TCAM issues,

Just got my Polestar 2 on New Years Day and I gotta say it’s really impressive. The handling is super smooth and the range is excellent. I’m new to EV and I like the simplicity of the control panel and dashboard. If I had to find a fault (which is hard) I’d say getting in and out of the car seats is a little hard but once in you feel like you’re in a cocoon.

I got my Polestar a couple of weeks ago and it has been nothing short of a game-changer. It handles incredibly well, has a good range, is comfortable, and easy to use info tablet. I have already suggested it to a bunch of friends and family. I love it!

Performance package is great, and the new software download added noticeable addition to mileage per charge. Fit and finish is way better than Tesla, and it looks a lot better as well. If you want to buy a car that doesn't look like all the rest, I would suggest a Polestar.

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 spors

I’ve had my Polestar2 Performance for exactly 30 days now. I love the car, love the speed, love that nobody on the road knows what it is yet. What I don’t love is that my $70,000 vehicle doesn’t have leather. Sure the vinyl they used is interesting and durable, but in south Florida it doesn’t cool down as fast as leather, and the only way to get the ventilated seats was via the 4000$ leather option. Other than that, everything feels super tight, very modern. Tech works great, and the car is fast as hell! The second up front cup holder is in a stupid place and there is no center console storage, but none of it was a deal breaker. Very happy with my purchase.

It has less range than a long range Tesla M3 but better driving performance. It has a far nicer interior, but the screen is smaller and the software leaves something to be desired. Overall you’re really getting this car because it looks way nicer than a Tesla and doesn’t give Elon Musk any money.

My first impression was very similar to most people's. It looked nice, was fast, and handled well. But that's it. That's the only positives I can give this car. The range sucks, and during the winter it's even worse. I maybe got 100 miles of range during the winter. The interior sucks. Whatever this eco-friendly vegan fabric crap was made from is awful. The seats are comfortable, but gross to the touch. The dash is like a fine sandpaper, and everything else is super basic looking. I don't like to touch anything in my car that isn't a smooth surface, which is everything but the steering wheel, plastic around the shifter, and the center touchscreen. If leather was available at the time I was picking out a car, I would've taken it, but I couldn't wait for one to be ordered. The Harman Kardon speaker system is just lacking. It under performs. I have to turn my radio up to 70% or more to get the desired quality of sound. The visibility in this car is absolutely terrible. Whatever idiot that designed this car should be fired for thinking such a small back window was ok. The infotainment system is abysmal. It's one of the worst parts about this car, but not THE worst. Honestly, I can't stand it. The Bluetooth connection is CONSTANTLY messing up! It'll connect, but audio will not come out. I'll have to disconnect my music connection and reconnect multiple times before it starts playing audio. I'll have to press the center play/pause button multiple times for it to register and start playing music as well. The apps (waze in particular) constantly glitch and go out, sometimes even refusing to work. The system is constantly glitching, is ALWAYS lagging and slow to respond. The back-up camera constantly lags and messes up, even randomly shutting off and refusing to come back on with a message saying, "The rear camera isn't available at the moment." MULTIPLE times while driving, the entire infotainment system will just freeze up and not respond to anything at all. You're screwed at that point. The screen will also freeze upon first entering the car and refuse to display any graphics. This will require me to TAP THE SCREEN rapidly for about 30 seconds as the POLESTAR 2 logo slowly begins to appear. Once the logo fully displays, the screen will work as if nothing just happened. And it's not a game of patience. I've sat there and waited before. The screen stayed black until I tapped it a few times. I noticed a very dim POLESTAR 2 starting to appear and grow in brightness. I would wait, and nothing would happen. Tap, and the logo got brighter. So I continued to tap until the screen finally came on, and this has since been the only way to get the screen to display when this happens. The Digital Key is bad. For the longest time I kept having to reconnect it. It constantly just stops connecting to the car and won't allow me to remote start the AC. I've had to delete and redownload the app a few times due to this constant issue. It's not as bad as the other complaints, but still annoying enough to merit a complaint. The AC sucks as well. I'll get into the car in the middle of the day, and obviously it's a sauna in there. I'll try and crank the AC to full blast, but it takes the AC 30 seconds to a full minute to actually start blowing air. The ghost breaking I've seen people talk about is VERY REAL! I'll be driving down an empty street and my emergency breaking alert will randomly sound off. You'll feel the quickest break and release ever. This has also happened while at highspeed on the interstate with no one around. The absolute worst thing about this car is its VALUE. My Polestar 2 long range dual motor with Performance and plus packs came out to be around $65k after tax, tags, and title. Only a few months after my lease started I learned the cars depreciated by almost 50%. Look at the market now, and you'll see 2022 Polestar 2's with under 10k miles going for under $30k. What's my lease payoff after over 2 years (28 months)? It's over $45k. My Polestar 2 is valued at $27,000. Thank God I did not buy this vehicle. If I could get out of my lease without a penalty right now, I absolutely would. However, we know that's not the case, and I'm stuck in it for another 8 months, and that alone sucks REALLY bad. Talking about the cost of everything, let's talk about how BS the leasing process with Polestar Financial is. The one positive was they weren't marking the prices up for no reason when a lot of dealerships were doing this. That's nice, but the pay wasn't negotiable either. The justification was because since they weren't adjusting the price, neither could I. Right before signing the agreement, I learned I would not be able to claim the EV tax credit, because I legally did not own the car. However, even though I legally did not own the car, I would be forced to pay for the property tax on the car I legally did not own. So they take the tax credit for owning the car, but refuse the property tax for owning the car. That's BS to me. If I'm going to pay the property tax, I deserve the EV tax credit. But, at the time I needed the vehicle, and they weren't slapping on thousands of dollars of unnecessary mark-ups, so I thought, "What the hell? I'm gonna love this car! It's my first EV!" Boy was I wrong... ***Edmunds wanted an update to see if I have any different opinion on my Polestar 2*** 02/22/2025 - The answer is no... My Lease is up next month and I'm glad. The car is fast and handles well, and that's where all compliments end. The dealership tried to fix the infotainment screen by replacing it entirely. This only partially worked. My screen doesn't randomly reboot anymore, or require me to tap it rapidly to come on, but it still lags, it barely ever has signal, the Bluetooth connection is still garbage and has to be turned off and on multiple times to get audio, the AC is still really slow to start, and the Waze app is still pretty crappy. However, even though I barely have signal in the car, they FINALLY gave me android auto. Now I can plug my phone in (because they still can't do wireless android auto for some reason) and use my phone's Waze app flawlessly. Maybe the 2025 PS2 is better, but I'm not sticking around to find out.
