Ohhh yes! Look, I’m not an EV enthusiast but this car might change my mind. I love the way it looks from every angle. Just needs a trapper keeper background to complete the look.

    Thank you for confirming something I’ve suspected, which is that engine noises aren’t just for fun but provide useful feedback on how the car is driving.

      But also a lot of fun! My friends almost all disagree, they think a car should be quiet, with their luxury vehicles. I’ll take something loud and visceral every day of the week.

        Having done a long road trip in a GTI with a catback, custom intake, and coilovers and it wasn’t nearly as nice as if I’d been in my nice, quiet, smooth Volvo.

        But outside of road trips like that I’m with you on wanting something that makes some noise.

          Totally agree! My car has a variable exhaust and on the interstate I always put it into quiet mode. The drone just gets to be oppressive after a little while.
