Buyers Remorse And I Haven't Even Got It Yet

[LenEV2016]

Me and my family had some really bad experiences with Renault and Peugeot cars in the past. I swore I will not own again even if it was gifted to me

Bit like with wife's company with their fleet of mg4's they have had so many niggly issues and various cars off the road at times that they refused to renew the deal with MG.

Relatives Mégane has been faultless and Renault have more EV experience than most from the Zoe, the 5 has been a massive hit

Fuego was a looker back in the day

LOL... probably what my hubby would have said about me in the early 1980's too!!

I reckon Renault will bring out an EV with the Fuego name, watch this space.

So wrong... Renaults model names should be numbers only.

Like the title says, I've got buyers remorse and I haven't even got it yet.

I have order the car via Araval, it is to be my company car. I'm a field service engineer, covering the lower half of England.

I ordered the IM6 Long Range thinking this car would be great for the job. However, after reading the posts in this forum and on the FB page, I'm starting to feel like this was the wrong choice.

From folks complaing about the poor efficiency, lack of preconditioning, ambiguity surrounding OTA, and the omission of things like auto high beams etc etc. is this car really worth it? Yeah, it's quick, but why though when the battery will just drain faster! Smart stuff like the ACC / Pilot mode have people complaining about it, but hey the car can park it's self! Dealers no nothing about this car, when I went for my test drive I knew more about it than the dealer did.

I was excited about getting this car, I watched practically every review on youtube, even the Thai ones! I was hyped! But now I'm reading very little in the way of positive comments from owners. And I'm wondering if I should have either opted for a smaller battery ID.7 or pay more CC tax and get a plugin Hybrid.

Does anyone have anything positive to say about this car that isn't about the faster charging?

I’m close to ordering one as new company car but feel the same.

Narrowed my choice to Enyaq 85 Edition - safe, dependable, big enough for me 6ft3 and 6ft son who’s still growing… but the Enyaq is dull dull dull, or the IM6 LR which is big, comfortable, well specced and much sexier.

But, I have a huge problem with the inefficiency. It’s a company lease so it only costs me BIK and 80% of my charging is free at the office, but I’m still struggling with the efficiency. I would not part with my own hard earned cash for one but would for an Enyaq.

The head says Enyaq but the heart says IM. I’m so confused but still want the IM. It’s about £35/month more expensive so there’s a chance that the decision is made for me.

Just as a note on an earlier post, the latest model MG and I< will have OTA updates, but not the earlier MG models ..... this was from the dealer rep who delivered a presentation on the latest MG and IM releases at our state branch meeting of the Australian Electric Vehicle Association ......

My impression after going for a lap through Adelaide streets in an IM6 .... if I had the money I'd buy one in a heart beat .... well actually, if I lived past the evening I drove another vehicle through our front gate I'd buy one ...... and an MG XPower

Get an IM, you know you want one.
The Enyaq is a perfectly good motor.
But God, it's boring.
