They managed to delete my review. I am shocked google let's that happen. Anyway, I will not give up. Will keep re-posting this for everyone to see the incompetence of vw. I had my Id4 stop on me while driving 5 times in a couple of months, 3 times on the freeway. I have given my car for servicing every time. thrice at Herman cook vw and twice at Kearny mesa vw(both in San Diego, CA). I think 4/5 times all they did was recalibrate the parts and change nothing(or may be they did, I can't remember, but the 5th time they didn't replace any parts), once(4th time) they changed some parts and still did not help. Now, the car is returned and I am so scared of when it's gonna stop next, always drive on the right lane so I can get to the shoulder. vw on the whole has terrible customer service and id4 would be the worst car to buy, even a 2 decade old salvaged used car would be safer than id4. It's a life threatening situation I am dealing with my car stopping this frequently on the freeway. Keeping it for 2 weeks and just recalibrating without being able to find any issues is inexcusable.

With nearly 6000 miles on it so far, the ID.4 is going quite well. We've had a couple of minor glitches with the charging - once the cable wouldn't release until we relocked and unlocked the car, and occasionally, it will plan to charge to 100% even though we've instructed it to charge to only 80% to improve battery life. Both issues are easily worked around. Other than that, we're quite satisfied with the vehicle. No gas costs, and we planned on an EV when we installed our solar panels, so no significant electrical costs either. One thing that surprised us when we compared the vehicles we were cross-shopping: the ID.4 is the smallest on the outside but has similar passenger room and more cargo space than the others. Being smaller makes a noticeable difference when parking in our garage. It's snug with the ID.4 - would be really tight with either of the others. The ID.4 felt like it drove the best of the various EVs we tested (Honda Prologue, Chevy Equinox) that get the full $7500 rebate. The infotainment system takes a little getting used to but is working well - not having the slow response of the earlier system. Performance is quite good, though you are aware of the heft of the vehicle. The regen braking makes it quite similar to driving an ICE-powered car. The adaptive cruise control works great.

One reason I bought this car was because it qualified for full EV federal and state tax credits. The car is totally manufactured in the US qualifying it for the full $7500 federal tax credit. It will be gone under Trump. I leased the car because I exceeded the income limit. By leasing the vehicle, the dealer gets the tax credit but they passed the savings on to me. I also love German engineering. Not so sure about US manufacturing as the 2023 model was recalled 7 times and in 2024 there was a 3-1/2 month pause in sales because of a recall to fix the driver door handle which could cause the door to open unexpectedly. The car handles perfectly. I have driven it in the Mountains in Colorado and in the snow. The AWD system smooths out the icy and snow packed conditions. The technology is a bit daunting for me (I'm 78). I have to "trial and error" a lot of it. It's a bit tight to get in and out of for this old body, but once your in, it is very comfortable. I love the remote climate control system in the recent below zero cold snap.

The ID.4 is a very good car. It ticks almost all the boxes for an EV. Full one pedal driving is one item I would like. It handles well and is quick. The interior space is well laid out, and the car is quiet and solid. We've driven our Pro AWD model from Atlanta to Chicago, and it is an excellent road car and is equally at home in the city. I would like 50 more miles of highway range; however, I am very pleased with the overall driving experience, interior features, and price. The ID.4 charges quickly and is a solid road trip option. I've driven it more than 1,6000 miles round trip on one trip.

Love this car for tooling around town. Don't need extended range. The interior on the S is functional and comfortable. I drive it in D mode exclusively. Drives and rides like my old Audi in that mode.

Car drives very similar to our previous rav4 awd without the engine noise and has way more power . Also similar in passenger space maybe a little more leg room in rear then rav4. Slightly less storage behind the rear seats and opening is also a bit smaller. Have just over 5k miles since June and no issues other then inner fender plastic insert wasn’t seated properly so dealer popped it in. We do mostly home charging so about 30% cost to drive compared to rav4 over the 5k. No winter driving yet but expect the cost to go up to about 50% of rav4 during winter. Range driving locally is about 260 mi when using 80% charge. That dropped to 230 mi using same 80% at 70-75mph interstate trips. Overall very satisfied with the vehicle.

The ID.4 has a nice, roomy interior. That's about where the good stuff ends. The vehicle has poor sound deadening, utterly atrocious controls on the steering wheel and console, poor build quality (gaskets under the hood not seated, rear light bar retaining clips failing), crappy tires, intrusive lane keeping assist that can't read lane markers very well, and recalls that go unresolved for months.

I bought a base ID4 about 10 months ago and put about 6500 miles on it so far. It was nice at first, but the more I drive it, the more I hate it. Pros: Very comfortable seats Cons: Pretty much everything else. While the seats are very comfortable, it really is the only good part (IMO) about this piece of junk. The infotainment system is probably the worst I've ever seen and used. We have a Kia Sorento PHEV and that system is far from great, but miles ahead of the one in the ID4. It is laggy and sometimes completely unresponsive. You have the option to "customize" it, by picking a layout or multiple layouts if you want to, but the system itself will dictate what you can put on what widget/screen. The driver info display is even worse, you can't customize it at all. I am somewhat old school and I like analog (or digital gauges that look analog) over numbers and the driver info display only displays numbers. Moving on the "sliders" and haptic "buttons" on the steering wheel, also, probably the worst idea VW has ever had (a topic that has been discussed all over, not going into it, just saying they suck). The sliders for temp control and volume underneath the screen are NOT backlit in my model (I believe the PRO and S models do have illuminated sliders) and they function just as good as the crap buttons on the wheel. Continuing to the window controls, and it gets even better. At first, I didn't understand the issue other people had with them, until I noticed. 95% of the time I hit the button for the rear windows on accident and roll down the rear instead of the front, not a huge deal, but it's frustrating. The interior build quality is also not what I expected from a VW. As stated above, the car currently only has about 6500 miles, but it rattles all over, sounds like loose panels (will have the dealer take a look during the first service). The driving range is pretty ridiculous too, I don't think I've ever gotten the EPA estimate and most of the time I don't even drive the 70mph speed limit on the highway. The range drops significantly when it gets cold and when you turn on the heat or ac. I currently get anywhere between 110 to 170 miles with the recommended 80% charge. 170 miles ONLY when i don't turn the heat/ac on and when I don't drive on the freeway, my current average is maybe around 140, absolutely inadequate. Speaking of driving, driving the ID4 is extremely boring, it is slow from a standstill (not what most people would expect from an EV) and the ride itself is on the stiffer side, thanks to the very comfortable seats, its manageable. Stupid me, I decided to lease the car, rather than financing it, and thanks to VW, I'm stuck with it unless I want to buy it out of the lease and try to sell it. That would be a very bad idea, as the resale value of the ID4 is horrendous. Dealers have quoted me 17000-19000 for it, which means the car lost more than 50% of its value in less than 1 year. Just something buyers need to be aware of. I don't think I would ever get another EV and most certainly would not get another VW.

I am surprised at how good the driving dynamics are!…like a giant go-cart when pushed a bit. Shockingly nimble handling for something that has the weight of an F-150 truck. Improved charging, battery pre-conditioning, more power, and incremental efficiency and range improvements. Glad I waited for 2024.
