[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We like how VWs drive but friends warned us off based on their experiences. We really liked the Kia Sportage hybrid but availability for the trim we wanted was low. We ended up with a Honda CR-V hybrid and have been happy enough with it.

Full electric? Maybe lease. Hybrid? Buy.[/quote]

Agreed VW and Audi drive great, but they are long term unreliable.  They are for people who upgrade every few years.

Has Kia been hurt by the theft problem? I assume new cars don’t have the same issue but it sure was a ding. [/quote]

Really unclear/doubtful the reliability issues of VW/Audi carry over to full EVs.

I wouldn’t let past repair history of VW or Kia stop me from buying an EV from them fwiw.

I leased an EV once bcs we got an incredible deal so I am sympathetic to the idea that EV leases can work out but be realistic about the cost and the fact that it puts a hard deadline on when you need to buy your next car. Generally buying works better. [/quote]

Leasing is typically not a good idea financially.  But in the case of a VW EV with depreciation that falls like a rock and iffy dependability, leasing might make some sense.

But that begs the question of buying a different brand. Others mention it here. I also would not buy an EV unless you have another car. You can have a repair stuck in the shop for weeks. [/quote]
