Fun and nimble electric vehicle!
This car is super fun to drive, very nimble. The range could be better but they will figure that out slowly and it will increase but for now there is some limitations to how far outside of the city we can go. It is great for parking in the city though due to it is compact size.

Electric car with lots of features.
My e-gulf is wonderful. I haven't bought gas in 18 months. I commute 34 mile to work round trip 4 days a week. I charge at home once a week or so. I do not need oil changes or tune ups because it electric. I just rotate my tires. The pep is great and the ride is very smooth. It is very quiet... Sometimes too quiet for pedestrians. I will definitely buy electric and VW again.

Volkswagen e-golf- a safe car.
I love how it is so safe, since I am a relatively new driver, I like how it alerts me and stops when the car in front of me is also stopped. Also, I love that there is a mode in which when I let go of the gas pedal, the car slowly comes to a stop. With my car being electric, it saves a lot of gas money as well.

Good electric vehicle from a good manufacturer.
This electric car is fantastic. In the past year, it had no problems. The range is lacking, at around 150 miles, but the price and quality of the vehicle cannot be beat. So far, reliability has been great; there has been no issues. Car comes with quite a bit of technology features as well.

Reliable car, with battery that does not last long.
Very reliable, love it, but the battery does not last very long. Good for everyday and short commutes, but nothing more than that. If going to work far away from home, I would recommend making sure there is a charging station there. The features are all amazing though!

Good value for an eco-friendly electric vehicle.
It is pretty good, pretty cheap, good for its price. However it's not the best out there, not too fancy and yeah but it has a good value considering its cheapness. Also takes a long time to charge, which is an inconvenience but other than that it's pretty good.
