But it's for travelling around the city, to and from work (I live just outside the city), doing the grocery run, running errands. And I love the car. It's so good. I'm really sad they discontinued it. Only to bring out very expensive EVs that the Germans also say are too expensive. The ID range? Come on. Far too expensive for what they are.

If I had disposable money to throw around on stuff like this, I’d 100% buy this. It’s basically fully depreciated and could be pretty much revived for $1000 and some DIY time (not like new, but good enough to be a cheap runabout). With this thing being a VW, every suspension bushing in this thing will be shredded. That’s why it clunks and wanders so much, typical VW/German car issue. They all do that and have since the 1990s. Tires in the size these old Golfs use are basically the most common 16” tire size ever, so you could put tires on that thing for $200 (not good tires, but tires). The steering angle sensor/Horn not working is a classic sign of the clock spring/spiral cable being broken. It’s common after airbag deployment, they’re kind of a one time use thing for airbags. If there is an ESP fault, it might disable regen.

I just bought a fiat 500e from a junk yard auction. It’s the same powertrain in a more efficient body. Gets about twice the range of the egolf and boy is it fun. I’ve had a few electrics and it’s totally a favorite.

forget cybertruck- these are the videos I live for. Kyle is 100% correct 3500 for this car is something to be stoked about. you spend 150k to get something that needs no work.

If the 12v battery was ever disconnected or dead without having the software adaptations corrected afterwards, it will throw every BS code and refuse to drive correctly. German car BS, but solvable with the right dongle. Paid $13,000 net, brand new, for our 2016. Android auto, heated seats, dual zone climate control, heated windshield, for $13,000! No DC charging on ours but we've put 55,000 miles on it. Great driving car, handles Colorado winter with no issues. I compared it to the Bolt and Leaf at the time, and the Golf was the only one that felt like a real car.

The amount of car purchases you and your dad are making are the definition of American consumer excess. Fun enough to watch but I really can't relate on why you need to own 30 cars.

Now he has a car to lend to his friends in need 😅

At $3500 I can see why you would choose this car, but I would have guessed you would have picked up a used electric Mini. I know Kyle is a fan of the Mini and its a great little hot hatch EV..

Used electric Mini? For 3500?

My guess on the regen is that it won't work until the ABS/ESC is fixed.
