Video Summary
The key points and findings of the video review are:- The VW ID.3 has a comfortable driving position with good visibility.
- The VW ID.3's interior is mainly made of cheap, scratchy plastic, and doesn't look or feel good.
- VW's of old had excellent interiors for quality, but the ID.3 seems like a step backward.
- The ID.3's 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system is appalling, glitchy, and unresponsive.
- The Cupra Born has a similar amount of space in the back as the VW Golf.
- In the back of the ID.3, there's still hard scratchy plastic on the doors.
- The Cupra Born's interior has better materials and feels better than the ID.3.
- The Cupra Born has Alcantara effect materials on the doors and comfortable sport bucket-style seats.
- The Cupra Born gets a 12-inch screen on every car; its infotainment software is similar to the Seat, not as frustrating as the ID.3.
- Both cars have steering wheel controls that are hard to use; they’re easy to accidentally use and difficult to use deliberately.
- Eventually, there will be the same choice of three batteries in both cars, with similar ranges.
- Compared to other new modern EVs, the ranges are good.
- The Cupra Born rides lower and has lower profile tires; its steering is also quicker.
- The Cupra Born is slightly better to drive and feels sharper; there's less body lean in corners.
- The difference in performance isn’t huge between models.
- The ID.3 trim levels range from around £29,700 to £40,550.
- In conclusion, the Cupra Born is worth the money; it has a slightly better interior and is better to drive.
