Re: Test driving EVs

I have bought cars several times without test drives - a new Galaxy (replacing the one I had) and then two Ford Mondeo estates. Test drove the MG5 but didn't bother to do that with the MG4 I replaced it with. My wife however always needs to do so as she's 4' 10" and has often found the cars at ...
