Doug, I've been watching your unbiased opinion for years now and simply love your car reviews. Lately I've watched your reviews of the oncoming electric cars (Mach E and ID.4). One thing that is missing in your reviews of EV's is the charging capability of each vehicle. I think it is an important factor in the decision making of an EV. Keep up the good work 💪.

Doug's review is very unbiased. However, just like Doug said on one of his clip, he gives higher score to sports cars. So his reviews are very good but his scoring is a bit biased.

Infotainment systems were always 10 years behind in VWs.

I just picked up a Pro S ID4 the other day. Your assessment of the Infotainment system must be regarding a pre release model. Mine is VERY responsive and easy to use. Once you view some instruction video's regarding it's setup it's a "no brainer" and makes a lot more sense. The ride quality actually surpasses Tesla but I'm sure since it's not a 0-60 in 3 seconds car you won't care.

It is a volkswagen with another branding. Very good cars, some a very economical choise over a VW car. SEAT is another volkswagen connected brand as is Audi and Porsche and more. Volkswagen is a very big company and lots of brands share the same platforms and engines as they are customisable and spreads the costs.

Over here in Germany, they are not delivering the ID.4 to the customers, yet, even thoug production is running continuously. The cars will be delivered at the end of March, when software revision 2.1 is released. This will allow OTA updates, which all currently available test cars don't have. I am sure that especially on software level this car will see a lot of improvement over the next years.

The infotainment is supposed to have your hand wave over it, not touch to swipe, that is why you're confusing it. There are a few other things that I could correct you on too, but they aren't worth it. Love you Doug! Keep it up!

The ID.4 is mostly based on voice commands so you don't have to touch the controls. Plus you can integrate the commands into Siri. For example, if you want, you can tell Siri "VW climate on" before you leave the house and when you get to your car, it is adjusting to the temperature you set or can set on the Car-Net app. One quirk you didn't mention, if you hold down the "Rear" button on the door until it blinks, you can roll all of the windows up or down. Or holding the "Unlock" button, you can also roll the windows down.
