It was checked out for condition this morning and the guy said "It's as if it was never driven."

Final tally: 21,780 miles in 3 years. It suffered a minor fender bender in front and a really minor fender bender in rear (so both bumpers are new). It was a good car. Quiet, good in the city, and aside from one hiccup that took two visits to get fixed (a bad sensor causing dash to light up like a Xmas tree), it was pretty reliable. Impressive for a 1st-year car and VW's first electric attempt. I liked that they made it as "normal" a car as they could with no over-the-top EV goofiness.

We never fell in love with eGolf itself, but I loved the Golf platform. Roomy, solidly built, very practical, great driving position, and decidedly German in that it made me feel "at home" in ways no Japanese car ever has. I could see how a Golf R would be a car that I would be very happy to be in - and part of the reason why I questioned spending the money on the M3 (as you all know).

I got a Golf TSI loaner and liked that car quite a bit too. Potential reliability issues aside, the Golf platform is impressive.

I'll miss the eGolf for sure, but not enough to regret not having it. It was money well spent to have a nice car under warranty and try out the EV experience.

Things I did not like:
-Range in general, but this was vastly exacerbated by the extra hit taken in extreme cold (and heat) and highway driving.
-Horrid tires (downright dangerous in extreme cold) and in combination with the low-end torque they light up a lot.
-Dichotomy in personality and ability in town vs highway speeds. Quite quick in one/slow in the other. It required too much of an adjustment in driving style between the two to make it comfortable, IMO.
-Abysmal NAV/BT/connectivity/etc. For a 2015 car, it was pretty poor.
-A few other EV-related quirks I won't bore you with.
