Thanks for sharing your experiences and wishing you both all the best with your new car.
I really wanted to like the Zoe, but unfortunately had to rule it out for me as the high seating position and low roofline really doesn't suit my large and not particularly flexible frame and getting in and out especially in tight parking spaces would be painful and difficult.
I've recently made the jump to a BEV and it is a very different experience from ICE cars. having driven mine for a month I briefly drove my partner's 1.2 DSG Yeti today, and I initially thought there was something wrong with it due to the vibration and power delivery.
