yes a real shame as for me, who doesn't do many miles or loads of luggage etc, the new Zoe was a really good option - it even has decent heater controls so don't have to spend time mucking around which touch sensitive sliders/screen :) - but this killed it for me.

they removed the side airbags on the new model, so therefore the side impact tests were literally a car crash. New Zoe's come with loads of computerised assists, and that's one of the reasons Renault took the air bag out, they had to cut costs somewhere. Of course assists aren't going to...

also, is it a newish 50kw version from the point of view of the 0 * Ncap rating. Ok, if you aren't going to transport loved ones, but after seeing those side impact videos, the Zoe was a massive NO for me. Had looked at the older ones, but concerns about away from home charging - isn't there...

as you are in Devon, a rear windows sticker - "I am not a witch with my fumeless people carriage" ;)

yes, get phantom "imminent crash" warnings occasionally on my Golf - also it occasionally slams on the breaks using ACC when passing a slower moving car on a dual carriageway/motorway to match their speed. Glad these features are here though.

so does the Megane have Carplay, or is it purely Android ? Does it also have physical buttons for the aircon control ? I was almost switching my allegience to a Zoe, until I watched the NCAP tests :)

I thought the reason Renault claimed they removed the air bags, was that they were concentrating on drive assist technologies - the current Zoe has AEB,LDW,LKA,BSW,TSR,ESC as standard. Of course none of these help if a van swerves into you and knocks you into the central reservation - whereas an...

I've tried that before trying to get a bigger TV. It's always me who says sorry even if it's her fault ;) today's view is Renault Zoe - not as pretty as the MG4 and a bit more sluggish/small - but for my needs , maybe it's worth it as a first dip into EV. Current leasing prices for our...

thanks all for the replies, a lot to consider. I don't have to change the Golf for another year, but if it became a no brainer, then I could go earlier. House doesn't have solar/battery - again one off costs to be considered, and my wife isn't too keen on "spoiling" our new home's slate roof ...

evening all I currently lease a car,2 years in, I get a car allowance as part of my salary but it's more of a benefit rather than actually needing to travel. The car is basically used to take the kids to school (1 mile! - and they walk home), and at weekends, but not mega distances. We live on...
