The capacitive touch buttons are fine on the ID4 (I own one) and actually have some advantages: you can press harder to toggle more mph on cruise control, or use the volume like a slider. What doesn’t make sense though is volume left right and track fwd / back is down up!

Love hearing a little bit of 'Spowt-ah' on tLBS

This was in my short list. This is a very practical EV. The problem, as you described, there are so may optional extras. Every time I start with the base version and start adding the extras the price climbs to 50k. Skoda should have fewer variations like ID.4 to make the choice simple.

That Boyz N the Hood pullover is incredible.

Your reviews Johnny are head and shoulders above those of other well known channels. I always feel like I really get to know the car.

I have never been so excited about general availability of an electric car as I am for the Ioniq 5. And when the Ioniq 5 N comes out.. omg.. that's me in the showroom signing the papers

Same. Never going to buy one of these but happily sit through 25 mins watching Jonny do his thing with any car/nike/starship. Great content.

I've been enjoying my Skoda for five years, it's going fine. I do find it more desirable then the ID.4. I quite like that silver paint as well. I dislike the fact that only 50Kw charging is standard, a big let down in my book. If you want to get people to switch to an EV, the biggest concern is still range and charging. I would probably get something else if I'm shopping EV with a 35K budget but it's a good option. I think you handled the Continental sponsor in a really nice way, I honestly had no idea they made a lot more then just tyres. Nice of them to give you that list. Properly excited for the Hyundai review. Cheers

Bloody hell, Jonny! The production quality of your videos is insane. Congrats for the whole team! I hope you can make a behind the scenes for some of these. I would love to see behind the magic.

I have a 2016 Skoda Superb. Here in 2021 it still looks sharp. The Enyaq will still look great in 2026, Skoda design ages well. Nice car.

Love this. Adding 2 x speed to play while I work. Will watch later 👍

Another great review Jonny, I'm actually quite impressed by this car, one of the reasons being you can spec some interesting interior colours. You're absolutely right about those flipping option packs, they make it too complicated for the potential buyer and deliberately leave out logical combinations so you have to have several packs and push up the price. Being of a certain age I remember the likes of the Estelle and the Rapide, oh dear! I have asked myself if would I buy one of these, probably not, but not because it's a Skoda, it's just difficult contemplating ever not having one of those heavy things from Solihull.

I really love your sweater !

Great review Mr Smith, I love the simply clever touches on our Fabia or the ice scraper which is on the fuel flap and the ticket holder on the windscreen. I love the look of this but as a Skoda owner and Enthusiast it's a bit pricy, one thing putting me off getting another Skoda.

Thanks for the Video. We have ordered the Skoda Enyaq iV 60. And we love the variaty that Skoda offers with their configuration options. And you can get some nice discount in Germany on the iV but nothing on the ID family as you buy the ID cars directly from VW and not from the dealership. Mustang Mach E is way too central screen focused. Right in your face. Hyundai ioniq 5 is more expensive and not yet available. And yes, maybe I still like some buttons and traditional user experience. Aerodynamics is quite good on the iV. Perfect family car in my opinion and easier to use with the better interior than the ID 4.
