Had the golf nearly a year, not a lot of miles on it due to COVID. In summer, its garaged, range on clock was 147, if I look now, it’s 109 or 110. We don’t have the preconditioner fitted, its in a brick garage so temps probably a couple of degrees above ambient. This is northish of UK, so more damp than cold.
Regen braking works fine and I think 3 levels on the golf. You can use it to make driving more interesting if you’re that way inclined or just leave it on standard.
As I’ve said, we like it, fits our purpose and build quality is very good and looks like any other golf. Other half had option of golf or tesla, she went with this and apart from the odd moments of range anxiety, she loves it. One of her favourite things is not going to the garage, a pet hate of hers.
Tried everything available at time and I was hoping she’d go Tesla, unfortunately not her thing and annoyingly build quality still naff which she picked up on.
Still very expensive for a golf, but sort of breaks even over the time we’ll have it compared to previous car.
As a youth, did a lot of cold weather testing Canada, Sweden, found out what it was like to be really cold. My range anxiety would be through the roof in some of those places on long journeys In an EV.
