Re:e-Golf is almost perfect by beelsebob · 2017-11-17 05:19 · Score: 4, Informative

I have a 2015 eGolf - it has a remote that reports battery status (amongst other things).
It is indeed an almost perfect car - my lease is about to expire, and I'm seriously considering another one despite its range being roughly half that of the Bolt.
