One more limitation of VW

Don't get VW e-golf in the USA since they do not offer a free loaner like all the other companies. The beauty of getting electric with a free loaner is that you can truly save money with the free loaner if you want to go somewhere longer than the limitation of the electric vehicle. I do not know why VW is not providing the free loaner every year like Fiat or Ford or even like VW in Europe but that's another limitation to VW e-golf. I am giving a one star since all other electric vehicle purchase programs in USA offer much more.

If you are shopping for an e-Golf, you probably already know the different models, years, and benefits of each--there are definitely some model improvements in '17 that we envy but for almost all of our car trips (like, 325 days a year) this car's range and amenities are all we need. It's a blast to drive, there is little to no maintenance cost, and it's easy to charge at home (get a charger on Amazon or etc. for under a grand). The stereo sounds good for a stock radio. Handling is fun around town. On the highway, it's a little odd that this model (SE) doesn't have any kind of cruise control at all, but you probably are not going to log a ton of highway miles anyway. As a second car, it's a no brainer (if you can charge at home). As a primary car, with some work and a few rental cars for longer trips, it's totally fine and INEXPENSIVE. TLDR, we love it.

Bought this when my employer offered free level 2 charging at work. I purchased used at a great deal in 2019. Had 10K solar array installed same year so I basically charge at home for free as well. Use it for 50 mile radius from home, never deal with charging stations as they’re either Tesla or not working or being used. For longer trips use our Impreza. Love tr The regenerative braking, basically 1 pedal driving, brakes barely get used. Steering is tight, tracking is excellent even with 235 snow tires. Handling reminds me onf my 2093 GTi. This is my 7th VW. Have had Zero issues with car, other than once it did not charge. Winter I always bundled up and used seat heat and only used cars heater while it was charging, which you program on the e-manager, somI always got into warm car. I use the Normal setting almost exclusively as it so much fun to blow of the stop lights. Real world range is about 110 miles if driven reasonably and maximizing regenerative braking. I have gotten close to 122 miles with 1 slow mile remaing before I got home so planning a max range round trip is essential as non Tesla charging is not locally available in my rural NH area. Do recommend level 2 charger because stock VW charger is slow, I use a Clipper Creek level 2, just plug it in and car charges automatically, no fuzzing with apps or charging screens unless you want to program in time you are leaving for a warm car in the winter.

Never go back to internal combustion engine(ICE)!! Electric is here to stay and will get better every year.
