Description:
I had the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance Fire and Ice for two weeks, drove around 1,500 km, and tested it properly in real winter conditions.
Time for an honest review:
What do I really like about this car – and what is not so amazing?
In this video I talk about:
Fire & Ice design (inside & outside)
240 kW RWD performance & acceleration
20-inch wheels: comfort, noise & winter driving
Driving stability at 180 km/h vs. 200 km/h
Infotainment, HUD, ID.Light & usability
Navigation & app weaknesses
Winter range, consumption & charging speed
Long-distance driving in cold weather
Travel Assist, steering assist & Matrix LED lights
Space, trunk & everyday usability
This is not a spec sheet review, but a real-world winter experience after living with the car.
