Should you buy an e-Golf?

Video Summary

The reviewer is selling his Volkswagen e-Golf but highly recommends it. He appreciates the stylish design, which unlike many other electric and hybrid vehicles, is not "quirky" or "weird-looking." He specifically likes the sporty, classic look similar to the Golf R or GTI, with the added benefit of being electric. For models 2017 and newer, the e-Golf boasts a 125-mile EPA range. While his older model is rated at 84 miles, he consistently achieves around 145 miles in town driving, even with the Golf R wheels. The e-Golf has been reliable and the range hasn't diminished after 14,000 miles. He describes the driving experience as very fun due to its small size and "go-kart like" feel, with a low center of gravity from the battery and plenty of torque for a peppy drive. The primary reason for selling is a change in family circumstances; with two young children, the small size is no longer practical, particularly the inability to fit a double stroller in the back. The e-Golf is not used as frequently now, with the family opting for their larger gas 4Runner for most trips. Despite selling it, he emphasizes he has no complaints and finds it a great all-around vehicle, especially for someone seeking a small, compact electric hatchback. He's also selling other vehicles and potentially acquiring more, consolidating his garage based on their family's current needs.
