Only 2015s and not many of those...

I like it. Why did you choose Plastidip as opposed to any black spray paint and how did you prepare the surface and apply it? Is there more than one black Plastidip? The look comes close to what I feel are the best looking wheels.... VW's "Brooklyn" but those would be an expensive retrofit...

No, there appears no way to avoid it. It doesn't bother me, but if my wife is with me, I have to remember to turn it down or else my wife who has super hearing will do it every time. It looks like there's no way to turn actually turn it off. It looks like all I'm doing is turning the volume...

I bought my e-golf as it never occurred to me to lease. I had a tax writeoff 2014 windfall but didn't realize you can get the 7500 netted against the lease price. However, apparently 7500 miles is the lowest lease, but I only drive 2500 miles/year so I'd be turning in a 7500 mile car, not a...

Just out of curiosity, can a lease be worked for less than 7500 miles? I'm retired and probably am not putting more than 3000 miles on e-golf. I bought mine for 35K when they first came out, but now with the scandal and software updates and bug fixes I should have waited for year end sales or...

If a higher mileage egolf were to be offered in 2017, most of it would come from a bigger battery which would be an option at extra cost, similar to what Leaf is doing. The basic mileage model would still be offered as many people like me don't need or would want to pay for the extra capacity...

http://insideevs.com/september-2015-plug-electric-vehicle-sales-report-card/ The bmw i3 was 1710, up from 729. And now VW management has to spend all it's time on the emissions scandal instead of focusing on getting it to the other 38 states and getting the Level 3 charging network going. Ron

I dumped GEICO after 50 years. They are no longer the company they used to be, and their non-stop advertising blitz about savings is an outright lie Ron

The owner's manual has a listing of each icon and what it's for. I made a copy of the page and keep it in the car to familiarize myself with the icons when they all show on startup Ron

I thought about plug in, but I read somewhere that it's nothing to turn the power off and remove the wires from the box. Like a 110 outlet, just unscrew a couple of wires. Ron

It's not only that. SE has no leatherette seats, no heat pump, no alloy wheels, no LED, no steering wheel controls, no cruise control, no leather wrapped steering wheel, Ron

I bought my SEL when they first came out in Nov 2014 for 35K, 1500 off MSRP. I just saw 2 new SEL's from the dealer listed on cars.com for 32,000, below even the price of LEs from the same dealer. Have they come down that much? If so, I should have waited. I knew I was taking a chance, both...

From the posts on the i3 forum, you'd have a lot more problems with the i3, including ac. My ac is working fine. Infotainment is car net and hopefully they're starting to get their act together. I don't know anything about i3 infotainment to be able to compare

'm surprised the Mercedes B-Class electric only did 196. Good looking EV.>> I was going to take a test drive, but at 4000 lbs, no CCS available, and way more expensive than the egolf SEL, I decided against it. Also, it seems more of a compliance car than VW which seems more committed to...

313 sold in the US. Anemic for such a great car. i3 sold 900, although in all states http://insideevs.com/july-2015-plug-electric-vehicle-sales-report-card/ Ron
