Ohhh Honda E... I think they look really nice. Its just a real shame the battery range is super small. Lovely piece of design aesthetic though.

Can someone point me in the direction of the 'Honda E' that you are both referring to? I've just googled it and can't be the same car surely........

In real life they look really damned cool... the photos don't do them justice.

I particularly love the blue:

Thanks both and, yes that's what I found..... I guess I was looking for a 'CS alternative' based on the previous comments. I will have to keep a look out for one in the flesh.

Its not really.. a non-VAG CS alternative would be a BMW 1 series, Hyundai I-30N, Merc 35 or Civic Type R.

Thats essentially the choice of hot hatches in the UK these days.

All have pros and cons - the BMW being the closest thing to a peformance Golf.

Sorry Fred, I didnt phrase my post very well. What I meant to say was that, based on the previous comments, that a Honda E was an alternative to a CS - not that I was looking for an alternative in general.

A small crumb of positive news today with VWG CEO Herbert Diess announcing that he feels the worst of the supply chain issues are behind VW and that production volumes will begin increasing soon.

I’ll believe it when I see it

Yes we went for the blue, I like the grey but my CS will be dolphin and the Honda grey is nicer and would have annoyed the help out of me!

Range is pretty awful, especially in the cold weather with the climate on, standard equipment is amazing though.

Defn not a CS replacement but handles well and great fun / quick for a small non performance car.
