I would say the interior quality of a Gold and Born wouldn't be the main reason I would choose between the cars, unless it's an PHEV Golf? Have you had a chance or can arrange to sit in a Born or test drive one? If you have never driven an EV, the experience is very unique so this can sell the car ...

In Europe at least, the car comes with a standard charging cable, roughly 6.5m and a 3 pin emergency backup with a very long lead, I’ve never checked the exactly length. Someone in the UK can confirm if it’s the same there. There's no "granny charger" lead (domestic charging at 3kW) given...

The interior quality of the Born is fine, probably the best interior you'll find on a BEV with an RRP of less than £40k, it's on the upper end of VAG, sitting at least equal with VW, a little lower than Audi and way better than normal Seat. My wife has the Born and I have an Audi S3 - I really don't...

Unless your mileage is huge, and you use far more electricity for the car than the house, you will probably be better on Octopus Tracker than one of the BEV tariffs. Pay around 18p per kWh average for any time of the day, or pay 7.5p per kWh for the car/house within a window, and about 32p per kWh ...

The MG4 doesn’t seem to fair too badly, I did have a look first. I guess it’s a bit like, Dacia in that is so low priced it not got as far to fall. The one I’m getting is cheaper than a base spec automatic Golf. If it does fall like a rock I can hand it back or as it’s got a long warranty, pay it o...

Funnily enough I’ve given up on my Born as Heritage Gloucester is beyond hopeless and I’m fed up taking it back for faults that don’t get fixed and or waiting months for parts. I have just lost faith in the car and don’t want it when the warranty runs out even though I’d planned to keep it. Not tha...

Any one tried Michelin 215/45 ZR20 (95Y) XL TL PILOT SPORT 4 S ? They are high end sports tyres. I'd put them on a Golf R, but would be a waste on a Cupra Born. I'd go the normal PS4 or PS5. There's no bad Michelins though. They came fitted from factory to my Leon 1.5 TSi. Definitely PS4 S rather t...

I had heard about new cars being fitted with tyres with half tread but assumed that wasn't true as the continentals fitted on mine had full tread. Bridgestone are the only ones I'm aware of doing this. Their justification was tgat their tyres last so long anyway (due to their rock hard compound, ma...
