Drove one while waiting for Macan to arrive - only car I’ve ever known with so much body roll around corners and yet so uncomfortable over the road at the same time!

I assume it didn’t have the ohlins then?

Ah yes, Porsche good - hurrah! Polestar good - must be corruption. Yes, that's why we're here!

Not really - Kia (ev6) better, much, much better. Hurrah??

Interesting you found that. Reviews I’ve read rate them quite highly, but must admit I’ve not driven one yet.

I fancy having a go in one.

+1. I think they look cool, although am not a fan of the rear light design (too angular).

It was the 400bhp version and quick in a straight line. I think it was the adjustable suspension one as it had yellow calipers?
It wallowed because it’s one of the heaviest EV’s out there (more than a Range Rover according to TG) and it was fidgety over road surface to the point I could feel it through my seat.
Quick, but there are now literally dozens of EV’s out there that are better than this in terms of looks, handling and range…

I think you are right re calipers and therefore it has the Ohlins which are meant to be some of the best dampers
Out there so maybe on the wrong setting!
