Not sure how this compares to Tesla but certainly lower priced than similarly equipped. Software needs work and UI is not intuitive and slightly buggy. Otherwise it's an amazing car and had a great experience driving 500 miles in a day. Charging network is great in California and never felt I would run out of juice.

Our ID.4 has a good range and is comfortable to drive. That said, there are a few issues that would make me rethink the purchase decision if I had it to do over. A spare tire should be an essential item. One was not provided with our car. An independent tire company told us that you couldn't get one. We called the dealer and found that this was not true. They will sell us a kit, including the tire, wrench and jack for only $700. Wow! I hope that they are managing to make a profit on that. The car has been designed to maximize its range. This is good, but not at the expense of the owner. The front and rear tires are different sizes. You can't rotate them. The rear ones are wearing more quickly than the front. We will just have to change them at different times. Another major nuisance. I just love spending the afternoon in the tire store. There are no 12 volt outlets in the front of the car. I wanted to install a dash-cam, but would have to run a wire to the rear of the car to provide power. It has had a few software glitches. We were on a highway and the four-ways started blinking and the horn was honking. Fortunately no one shot us. We took it to the dealer but they had no idea as to what went wrong. All-in-all, it's a decent car, but it could easily be improved on.

I have read the Edmunds review and many EV’s and I drove quite a few, Hybrid’s and EV’s. I decided to purchase the Pro S front drive only ID.4……I would give it a 9.5. It is extremely quick and so fun to drive. It is a solid vehicle and hugs the road like it is glued down. I think if you compare to a $100,000 EV yea there will be a difference in power, but frankly you do not need it. I have owned BMW’s, Porsche’s, Lexus, Audi’s, Infinities and driven race cars. Anymore power is basically dangerous for most drivers to understand and control a vehicle that goes 0-60 in under 5 seconds. I am not sure how Edmunds does their “real world” mileage but using the regenerating feature on the ID.4 when I charge to 100% I have a range of 340 miles! I to me definitely is one of the best looking small SUV EV’s. Many look quirky and down right ugly, as if they are trying not to look like a gas vehicle. Loads of room inside, and I am 6’3 250lbs and have no issue in and out as well as headroom, shoulder room etc. We have a car seat in the back for our 2 yr old grandson and the front seat has room for a person t sit it in it unlike the Lincoln Aviator I used to have! All in all best car I have purchased for a while and enjoy driving of instead of my other $135,000 vehicle.

Not quite sure on many positive reviews here. I am at 19,000 miles after 11 months driving and as such, can confidently say this model has delivered experience far away from satisfactory. It is electric motor, hv battery and usual electronics (remote, entertainment system, climate control, user preset settings, etc.) that have been installed in cars for at least a decade. And somehow, VW managed to screw it on grand scale: 1. It stopped detecting remote key fob even though it has new battery. 2. After over the air OS update, it resets all my user pre-saved settings. Why would it do that after simple update? 3. VW app is useless; 4. Rear brakes are squealing every time I need to do harder than light braking. 5. Rear trunk opens up on third - fourth try. 6. When driving long distance I am always concerned Electrify America will be unavailable or I will get stuck for hours charging at 30-40kW per hour. At first, I really liked the car. I do a work myself when I need to replace car fluids/parts; so it was refreshing to know that I would not have to do most of it with ID4. Now, I realize it comes with its own set of failures which are really surprising given the fact that moving details of this car are simpler than internal combustion engine with transmission, transfer case, rear differential. But VW has managed to @@@ it up with this one. All my office mates own teslas and I should have listened to them and purchased Tesla Y. Now, even if I try to sell it today I would lose almost half from the spot price I paid.

Car is 6 months old and has now been at deal for 3 months. 3k miles and the car little up like a Christmas tree with errors - dealers has never seen so many. Needs a new electric motor and was just notified of a recall on the battery and cells need to be replace. The dealer has been great but VW corporate talks like it’s my problem and not theirs. Never buy a VW again!
