An EV for the Golf aficionado

2018 Volkswagen e-Golf SEL Premium 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)

I just picked up the last 2018 eGolf SEL Premium on the lot - Very pleased. Range could be better, so could performance - The Tesla Model 3 sets a benchmark that this car falls well short of. But if, like me, you love VW Golfs (this is my 4th since high school :-), this car may be for you. Excellent to drive, adequate performance and range, and the "virtual cockpit" experience is great. The Driver's Assistance Package offers the best Adaptive Cruise Control I've driven yet. I doubt that the resale value will hold up like my 2012 Golf R's did because the technology is evolving so fast, but it truly is a fantastic vehicle. My out-the-door price ($28,500) was more than $10k below the Model 3's current $39,900 no-dicker sticker (before the federal and state incentives).

Very Comfortable little car

Very comfortable, no rattles, nice interior, more expensive feeling of High End than it's competition. The main reason this EV is better than Nissan or Chevy is German Quality. I love that it has so many adjustable Recuperation modes because not everyone likes the way EV's Recuperation makes the car drive, so you can choose from 5 different levels, from just coasting, to the highest level driving with 1 pedal.

Bargain e-golf

In few years, the $15,000 new cars will be here from China. In the meantime, a used e-Golf fills the gap. Same cabin quality as my [sold] Audi, but without so many bells, whistles and problems. I am on my 3rd year of driving an e-Golf and I could not be happier. I think this is the best car VW has ever built, far superior to the stupid-looking oversized ID-4. . I traded in my beautiful 2015 SEL e-Golf for my 2018 so I could get longer range. Paid less than $15,000 each time for cars with less than 10,000 miles. Now prices have risen, but still a bargain. I will never go back to an ICE vehicle. Too bad this perfect car was introduced before the U S market was ready for it. and too bad it was priced too high. VW was so close: If the price had been a little lower and the range had been a little greater, this car could have outsold the Beetle. Now BYD [Dolphin] will be the one with 200+ mile range and $16,000 price. Take a look at the Hyundai Ionic 5 - that is the car that VW ought to be building right now -looks just like a [slightly bigger] e-golf but $43,000+ is not an enticing price. Best electric car you can buy today in the U S is a 2019 VW e-golf. Many with fewer than 10,000 miles under $25,000. [up from $17,500 six months ago]
