Neal Pozner@atpfm Listening now. I will say everyone poops on the id.4 but it is the best car I’ve ever owned. I‘ve never owned a fancy bmw but the experience of driving the id.4 is way better than it’s on-paper specs would lead you to believe.

John Siracusa@njpozner As discussed on past episodes, everyone loves their first EV, no matter what it is.
@siracusa of course. The id.4 isn’t significantly worse than the EV6 or Ioniq5. It’s not like it’s a Mazda MX-30, which is a garbage EV. 😆
@njpozner I don’t think I’ve read any review or comparison that has said the ID.4 is as good as the Ioniq 5 or EV6.
@siracusa i test drive them all and chose the id.4. There are some things that are better and worse about each of them. I do think I the things that the reviewers typically ding id.4 on are overblown. But I admit I am probably biased having already made my decision. 😀
@siracusa @njpozner I think what the “best” car is at a given price point is very subjective - more so than with a laptop etc. I fully expected to get an Ioniq 5 when I started (loved the looks and the reviews were great) but, unexpectedly, ended up with the ID.4. The Ioniq 5 definitely beats it in some areas, but overall I preferred the VW and found the main complaints with the infotainment system have been completely overblown. Go test drive them all!

Michael Panzer@gabrieldj @ieeur @siracusa @njpozner I for one went with the Ioniq 5 here in Germany while having an ID3 already but that was mainly to power with dual motors, price and tow capacity. Haven't regretted the choice yet and the charging of the Ioniq 5 is crazy fast.
BUT in terms of driving the ID4 is the way more sporty and engaging car. The Ioniq 5 is way more comfort in terms of suspension. I'd own an ID4 gladly and the frunk really doesn't matter at all. Have opened the one on the Ioniq once..
