“And the human at the Honda’s wheel will be having the better time. It’s a car that just feels right from the get-go. Welcomed by a snug seat, legs and arms relaxed, you’re addressing steering and throttle and accelerator that react just-so to your intentions. The whole thing moves with you, slinky yet entirely stable. Pour it into a roundabout with all it’s got and the front tyres tell you they’re easing gently outwards. Lean on the whole of the torque and the rears join tidily in. It’s not fast, but it is nippy.

The tyres roll quietly down the surface, and the suspension rounds the sharp edges off urban and A-road brokenness. The whole assembly feels happy out on a dual carriageway too. But you just know what I’m going to say next. OK, I won’t. I’ll talk about range in a minute.”

Let's not talk Motorway mileage here.....

“It’s impossible to do more than 100 miles in and around a city in a day, and the Honda is the happiest and best tool to do them.”

Current winter time makes the E have 90kms REAL RANGE with 80/90% charge for me and you bet I can do that in a day and not getting out of the same city.

Haha what. That would be.. about 31kwh/100km? I’m very impressed by how you managed to drive it like that :D

Edit: You did say 90%, so let’s chop it down to 28-29kwh/100km?

For me too.

Specified continuous power on the E is 60kW/82hp, so empty battery in less than 30min is possible. I have been close to that over 50% charge

These guys think I'll be driving with the heater off having -4°c outside... But I'm not that agressive driving.. it's just how it is... I'll take some pictures after taking off when I get the chance.
