Bit of an update on this, still enjoying driving this a commuter, ticks all the boxes and running costs are basically a few quid a month.
But it doesn't come hassle free.
I had been getting the odd error message when charging at different charge points around the city over the last 6 weeks or so, it would say charging then just stop and say pause in charging. This had been getting more common with all the local chargers I used and eventually the home charger wouldn't do it either and an error message "charging impossible" on the dash.
So off to hursts it went on a recovery truck on Tuesday...phoned them today it needs a new charging unit and they will have it around 1 week.
Cost of the new unit £2000! then add labour. That's why id never buy one outright or one out of warranty.
Given the choice between it and say a DCI Clio at the same money would you still go for the Zoe?
@PaulYDP has pretty much summed it up there. The whole package together worked for us. Before that I had the 9-3 2.0 Turbo 4x4 SAAB and she had a Passat CC which was starting to act up a bit. When we added up the total outgoings for everything on those 2 cars they were a fair bit. So we sold both, leased the zoe and bought the Cupra which is great for daily drivng but can be a weapon when you want it to be. Once we had the baby things had to change (crèche fees) but we also needed something new with warranty and low running costs.
With a we pug gti or a 172 maybe??
