Sure, it has nice performance, but the rest of the car is comparable in terms of quality, parts, and materials, to vehicles that cost half of what this costs.

What drifting? He was sliding due to lack of grip at best. I did better drifts with my X5 M50d. And that's a freaking Diesel engine. This thing may(!) have 609hp on paper but this car is less than a second faster than my X5 with more than 200hp more and without being a brick in the wind. Also, there are cars with way less hp which are way faster. I don't even get the concept of this. The brakes are totally over. Hybrids do not usually use breaks at all in daily use and this thing can't do much more than that. That it's not limited to 180km/h is the only thing they did properly, but why? The looks, gorgeous! The sound, performance, quality, price tag, just garbage.

Some context which Mat didn’t mention in the video: this car’s origins are in the 2013 Volvo Concept Coupe, which was a modern reinterpretation of the P1800 (hence that quirky rear deck). It was intended to be the launched as the Volvo C90, but management canned it. The design was instead recycled for this Polestar 1. The tiny production volume (and the fact it’s basically a concept car you can buy) goes some way in explaining why it is so expensive. I think Mat is being a little harsh - this is not a serious competitor to a Porsche or Aston, it’s a limited edition curiosity for collectors who want something different.

This is a brilliant way to some up the car, it’s more of a “spearhead” for the brand as a platform for them to launch much more practical and sensible cars like the polestar two, which by all accounts from other car journalists is excellent value for money.

I think it's nice! But for that price you got options. If it was cheaper it would be better then more expensive choices (If that makes sence) but if you put it together with cars in the same price range it just don't add up. Sorry my bad English! I'm from Norway. Thanks for the video!

Stian Tveit Really sucking up for Polestar aren’t you? Lmao

Happy to see an honest review. Was hoping for more refinement in terms of suspension and powertrain response. Looks like an early adopters car, and better off with the Polestar 2. A shame really, because I really like the idea of an extended range grand tourer with power that doesn't have to rely 100% on fossil fuel.

Agreed on how they should have just released this body shape as the new Volvo C70 Coupe or something. Its a shame that the price does not match the performance and i am a Volvo nut so i really wanted this car to excel. The low production numbers is cool though. Still a unique car i would consider to be different from the rest.

That same jittering happened to the straight pipe guys when they brake boosted at launch.

I would have a second hand Bentley over this, in fact I would have even a VW Arteon R before I would consider this.
