  1. Did the now seemingly traditional “Bank Holiday airport run” in the #Roadtek today.

    As much as I love the #e_Niro and dislike spending £100 on fuel it made the whole escapade much nicer as we didn’t have to get 4 people and 2 dogs and luggage in the car and we didn’t need to use the service area toilets so we could stop anywhere we wanted for a comfort break and #Dog picnic.

    Today it was on the Pennine Way footpath next to the Windy Hill transmitter at the top of the M62.

  3. @dan lucky my #e_Niro was built just about at the change point to new logo. All the big ones are old style KIA with new NIN only on glass and some castings.
    The #SoulEV is late ‘90s Toyota quality inside, while the #e_Niro is 2000s Ford 😬

  5. @serichards @ZeKik

    The #SoulEV is on Pirelli CINTURATO ALL SEASON SF 3 which have fantastic feel in all conditions. This IS probably why I love driving it so much. Very confidence inspiring.

    And the #e_Niro is on oe spec Nexen (only because they were 1000 miles old when I bought the car) which I don’t trust in any conditions, but especially so in cold damp conditions 😬👍

  7. @serichards @ZeKik I’d absolutely not want a BEV without fast charging.

    First gen #SoulEV are pocket money cheap here and would probably exceed your requirements if ya can live with its looks.
    It got CarPay for the 2018 30kWh battery update. It’s an absolute hoot to thrash about in, it’s much slower and softer but more comfortable and predictable than the i3s. Ours still has 6 months warranty remaining. It’s a keep until it dies car.

    Is the #e_Niro too expensive?

  9. @DenOfEarth @vwdasher #SoulEV has just had to have its rear calipers unstuck at 6.5yo. #e_Niro has rusty rear discs at 4yo.

    There wasn’t much salt used on roads this winter either I probably don’t use them hard enough to dry them out

  11. I must really ❤️ these two cars. Two baths in less than a month!!

    It’s the first time in 3 months I’ve felt up to doing anything strenuous, it’s been a crap winter of virus, infections and asthma.

    I now understand why people chase winter sun.

    Not so #weirdcarmastodon #SoulEV #e_Niro

  13. @humanhorseshoes

    Good question. Very similar.

    the #SoulEV is lighter, less powerful, and has much more weight transfer & roll as you fling it into a corner. Its suspension is cruder but you can feel what the tyres are doing ALL the time. More through bum than steering wheel. It also has “much” better tyres. It’s FUN to hustle.

    The #e_Niro is more COMFORTABLE and isolating and therefore perfect for 450 miles of motorway. I haven’t dialled by bum into it yet it usually takes a few months …

  15. @vwdasher less than summer … but the range indicators in the #SoulEV is pretty realistic… but it falls to 90 miles at 0 deg C with climate on and driving normally it’s more like 140 in summer

    I haven’t driven the #e_Niro enough to comment yet … range indicator said 240 miles at -4 … will report back 👍

  17. Propper #roadtrip not #Roadtrek tomorrow and Monday as I’m doing my first long trip in the #e_Niro #BEV #EV because it too cold to go in the #CamperVan

    I was gonna wash car the before I left but it is too cold for that too 🥶

    I’m gonna seek out as many Sainsbury’s Smart Charge chargers as possible as they are the only ones I’ve had 100% luck with so far.

    Wish me luck 🤞🤣

  19. I got a notification that the Qashqai had passed its MOT a couple of days back. It is already at a dealer the other end of the country. It’s up for double the price WBAC paid for it. Good luck to ‘em.

  24. @schmurnan @serichards @FlanFlinger

    … We chose a 2018 #SoulEV with the only compromises being the 100 mile winter range and only just big enough boot. We have only had to use public charging three times in a year

    But year on and we are back in contact w/ daughter 100 miles is only just enough to get there and back so we considered chopping in the Soul
    for an Gen 1 #e_Niro which although dull as ditch water meets our requirements perfectly.

    The only problem was we couldn’t let go of the Soul…

  26. RYCy is home safe!

    Absolutely loved the hellish 40mph average speed cam roadworks on dual carriageway with the fancy follow the car in front and stay in lane cruise and lane guidance.

    Hated the 2 hours lost trying to find how to reset the fackinn’ thing back to MPH as someone reset it to KPH after the test drive 🤬

    It’s only easy or possible when you know it’s 4 levels deep in the SatNav Settings menu wtaf?

  31. New to me car collection day has arrived.

    We had horrendous rain last night and a storm is expected tomorrow but the sun is out at the moment ☀️

    First the dogs are going to the vets for their monthly arthritis jabs.

    Wish us all luck 😉🤞

  36. @Mark @ZeKik #e_Niro has this… I’ll let you know how engaging it is after I learn how to use it 🤣

    Honestly you can’t enjoy driving on the roads (safely) any more than I do absolutely driving to the limits of the #SoulEV now it’s got top notch non eco chasing Pirelli CINTURATO™ ALL SEASON SF 3 on it.
    They are the first upgrade I’m gonna do with the Niro

  43. Test drive done and deposit left RYC the #e_Niro will be mine 🥳

    … just as soon as I can get shot of the Qashqai. Hopefully one of the local traders or national buy your car places will come up with a reasonable price as the dealer wouldn’t even make an offer 🤷‍♂️🤞

    At least the dealer experience was sooo much nicer than Daughter had with THAT car supermarket in Leeds.
