My wife had a 19 Acura RDX coming off lease in August and last year was upside down to get out of it. Last month she was offered $2500 over the buyout and dealer still took almost $2K off her new Volvo XC40 T5 saving her ~$4K. Crazy times. New cars impacted by chip shortage are going at MSRP and...

That was the pent up demand, now it is the normal sales slog. Also plenty of people on fence with EV see several game changers coming in the next year.

I test drove the Niro EV (Kia’s version) and the Niro is a bit bigger with larger cargo area. I wish the Kona EV were on sale in GA, but it is not. The 2022 Kona EV looks really nice and I would be intrigued if I could get one. My issue with the Niro is even the top model is dumbed down compared...

I can’t say much, but I did have a AWD XR Premium and did not find the car bouncy as much as jittery. I had the car for an hour and about 22-24 miles, so I can’t challenge anything true owners are saying, other than I am glad I passed on the car.

Yeah I forgot about the brakes, felt like a switch, off or full stop. Remember the XC40 has AWD so the range gap is not as large. Was hoping VW would publish the ID/4 AWD numbers as a comparison. Pre-pandemic I was doing maybe 150 miles a week so the range of any of these is no problem for me...

I have now test drive the Mach E (Premium ER AWD) VW ID.4 (RWD) Volvo XC40 Recharge and a while back a Niro EV. I will leave the Niro EV out now, but it was a decent car. The Mach E I have driven twice, once was 22 mile 1 hour drive. I had a short drive in the VW, a few miles, maybe 15 minutes...

Yeah not a fan of all this glass in the roof, I never open the roof or the sun shade on my sun roofs.

Cobb EMC has a program where you get free power over night up to a certain amount. That said I took out the AWD Premium for about an hour. I took it home to see how it drives and if it will clear my driveway. Damn car can move. Seat was not bad, but in my seating position the center console was...

I just got a text today, Jim Tidwell Ford in Kennesaw has a Premium, extended range AWD they just got. Going later this week to drive it.

Too bad it won’t be out until later this year.

The honeymoon in the Tesla cult is fading. I get the novelty and gadget desires, but how many yeats now with all the build quality issues? Look at The Fast Lan Car YouTube video about their model 3, back door broke 3 times. Seems like every Tesla has some issue with something, the 2 people I...

I am worried a bit as well as much as any of all these new first gen EVs as they will all have quirks and bugs.

I put an order in for an ID.4 as it is risk free. Only $100 for now and fully refundable. They will want another $400 and it becomes non-refundable when they are ready to build. Local dealer says they will have a demo on March 22. I need to go drive the Mach E again to see if I can get used to...

Tesla has been doing this how long and still has a bunch of build quality and quirks so considering Ford really just did this for first time on a ground up new EV platform I believe that is the price for being an early adopter. That said I trust Ford more than Tesla at acknowledging and...

I was quoted $1000 by my electrician. I have a 150 amp panel and was nervous, but code here to bring my service up would require me spending a few grand on other items to bring everything else up to code. The good news is the electrician said don’t worry unless I was going to have both AC units...

So I found the unicorn in metro Atlanta. Seems several show in the dealer inventory, but are only being built and then shipped. Jim Tidwell Ford in Kennesaw GA has a white Premium RED standard battery. Today was chilly here about 35F when I got to the dealer. They were expecting me and had the...

Seem in metro-ATL the only dealer I found with one to test drive is Jim Tidwell Ford in Kennesaw. They have standard battery RWD Premium in white. They let me take it out by myself due to COVID.

That inventory may not be accurate as I have been speaking to my local dealer and he says his demo will not be in until March 12, yet is shows on that list. My guess is once they have a co formed build and VIN it will hit that list.
