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.

Love comfort, looks, and price paid. 4.1 software update does not resolve all issues!

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.
