Here's another review, though just a standard review, no actual commentary on long term ownership:

Interesting, although I can't help think that he's just made some of it up...

"I’ve been averaging upwards of 100 miles on a full charge, which is 30 miles short of the official range, but I’ve had 120 miles out of it on a longer motorway drive. However, living and driving around central London – the Honda’s natural environment – 100 miles seems to be the average return so far."

I seems to think you get MORE range at motorway speeds, which anyone that's actually driven an EV knows is nonsense.

Maybe he started “up North” and came “down South” - we Southerners know that's downhill, coming back home.

It's seems to me that you might actually believe that 'journalists' actually know what they are writing about or are even vaguely truthful.
All they care about is article 'hits', they don't give a fig (Christmas theme) about the product as long as they can make a bob or two.

Currently Jaguar iPace is at No.1

What can I say. I’ve stopped subscription to his YouTube account
Thanks, that's confirmed that it wasn't my confirmation bias, but that he is indeed a first class cockwomble.
Am I missing something ? What's got the community narked about the review? I'm interested in where he's unbalanced in his reporting.

Have you not watched it?
Other than the poor range/efficiency & small boot which both have been known about for many many months, most of the other issues he's made up. I can't be bothered wasting any time re-watching it to make an extensive list.
One thing I remember is his inability to be able to move the steering wheel (I seem to remember that he doesn't know up from down) & seat so that he can see the display.

Totally agree Londi. I have no problem with the odd wrong thing (although it is lazy journalism). But there were so many errors. And when we questioned a few things he got upset and asked us to stop including him in tweets 😂
