So it all depends on what you want from your driving experience, but living in a City, I like the electric, emissions free driving near home and the effortlessness and good-enough=go when further afield.
I don't miss my diesel a bit. Living in Europe, ICE cars are being taxed more and more. The 45e is a rocket with the electric boost. 2/3 of mileage so far pure electric, so saved a nice amount just on fuel.
