Just finished watching this week's "5th Gear: Recharged". They had a city car test comparing the latest Renault Zoe (once queen of the city EVs), Mini EV, Fiat 500 EV, Peugeot 208 EV and the Honda e. The first test was general driving on a test track and the Zoe and 500 were eliminated for general feel and comfort. They then scored the remainders on looks, interior quality, tech, ease of charging and range. The 208 won comfortably (mainly on range and interior space - it's a much bigger car) with the Mini and the Honda e scoring the same points. The Honda e went through because it had scored 5 out of 5 for looks and the Mini didn't get full points in any category. Vicki Butler-Henderson then thrashed both of them around a winding test circuit and, despite it being the heaviest of the two, with the slowest 0-60 time, the Honda e was quickest and the most fun to drive. She reckoned the steering gave the best feedback and the suspension was just right. Good-oh for Honda. I'd love a Honda e and if I could afford it I'd have one in a minute. Perfect for my new driving regime. (And I could have had one if SWMBO hadn't spent the price of a Honda e getting a new kitchen installed.)
