I've seen a few videos where Matt is mentioning a lack of 1 pedal driving in VW group electric cars - here he says he doesn't know why. The answer I was given by an Audi engineer is that VW cars coast - by design. Their research shows constant speed up then slow down via regen actually gives a lower level of efficiency vs cars that roll more. Reason being is you can carry more momentum without using power via rolling, whereas if you're constantly speeding up, then using the regen to slow down, you're slowing down too much and have to step on the gas pedal more often to get back up to speed. Given the extra weight of electric vehicles, this makes even more sense as they'll coast easier due to their larger mass. So it's a choice and you'll likely continue to see it.

Why not just get the normal Enyaq (so you get more practicality) than find a cheap sports car (far better to drive) and buy that as well. Then you don't get a horrible mashup of the two that isn't very good at either. I'm sorry I just can't see the attraction (if there is any) to this car. It may also end up cheaper than this Enyaq VRS. Matt seems to agree from what he said.

As a previous owner of a octavia mk4 vrs i really hope they've sorted the infotainment out. Its absolutely shite and ended my 15 years of skoda ownership. I got a warning light after 3 miles of driving it. (It was brand new aswell.
Currently in a megane rs trophey and its great.

New cars are not designed for drivers. Cheap, fake plastic, 1il million sensors, cameras etc.
They are designed for zombies. Especially the electric cars. Zero emissions my ass. The electricity comes from power plants using fosil fuel to create energy. BS

Do we all remember when BMW released that grill, which wasn't actually that bad, it just sent a lot of M3 fanboys (who have never, could never and will never be able to afford one anyway) into melt mode. I hope this absolute ugly shit box gets as much stick.

It's clear, even more clear with those performance models that Volkswagen is still a lot behind its competitors regarding powertrains.
The MEB platform is still extremely weak in that regard, especially compared to the competitors.

I feel absolutely nothing when it comes to news cars. Just blank.
If I had unlimited money there would not be a single modern car in my garage. I'd rather buy pre 2005 and restore them.

All style, no substance? Mate, it doesn't have style either. This thing is fuglier than the Gateshead Angel (modelled on Peter Beardsley. 'Gopping' would be a good description.

Surely if the WLTP test is meant to be realistic then the results should be pretty much what you'll get in the real world but that just isn't the case for EV's.

VW group are not learning. I fear for them in the long term, repeatedly making the same mistakes across their whole range regardless of the badge.
