I had a '16 eGolf, loved everything about it except the range. Eventually when my commute got longer I had to upgrade, would go for a 300mi eGolf any day, but they killed it in favor of the bland AF ID.4. No thank you.

I have a 2019 e-golf which has slightly better range, and I love it! The adaptive cruise and CarPlay make it an excellent commuter car.

It really truly is a great car! Fun to drive and the perfect size. After moving, however, my commute was landing me at home with 5 miles of range left, figured it'd only be a couple of years before that ran down to 0, so I upgraded before I had to deal with it. If VW still had an eGolf for sale, I would have picked it up without question.
