ID.4 Car Leasing & Contract Hire

t drives well but the user interface is awful and it’s a temperamental beast. The door lock stops working in the rain (this has been complained about many times on forums). The window buttons don’t always work correctly - eg the window will be down, you’ll go to press “up” and the window will instead carry on going down. Also the number of times I’ve accidentally hit “rear” and ended up operating the wrong window… There is no tactile feedback for lots of buttons, eg you have no idea if you’ve pressed the fog lights or not without taking your eyes off the road to check, which makes it feel downright dangerous. The toggle switch between “cruise” and “limiter” is truly, truly woeful. The speed selections jump up in either 1mph or 5mph steps and it’s near impossible to work out exactly where your finger needs to be to differentiate between the options. If you’re on limiter and then switch it off, when you try to switch it on again it reverts back to cruise! The button to fold the mirrors in is 3 turns around a circular button which makes it really fiddly to use when you’re going through a width restriction. The headlights are still too bright when using “auto-dip”, I’ve got sick of being flashed by other drivers when using this feature so I’ve just stopped using it. I’ve had the car a year and I’ve still got no idea if the windscreen wipers are automatic or not - if they are why is there a button to control the timing for intermittent wipe? Shouldn’t it be able to work out for itself when they need to be on? I’ve probably got more but these are just the ones off the top of my head. Suffice to say I won’t be getting another one.

Lovely comfortable drive, loads of room
