Welcome to the forum! Is that a Born VZ and do you have any pictures?
Oh yes, sorry, it is a Born VZ

Lovely colour and car, I had one for a week back in August and was very impressed really comfortable on longer journeys and decent range as well.Oh yes, sorry, it is a Born VZ
That's good to know, this is my first EV so I'm a little apprehensive about it but I'm sure I'll feel fine once I get into the routine of not going to the petrol station!
When I test drove it I felt comfortable after a few minutes, it's very smooth and quiet, lovely large screen which surprisingly goes unnoticed, I thought a large screen would be "in your face" too much.
I'm going to be using the car for driving lessons sometimes too as I'm a part time instructor, my learners are so lucky to have nice cars to learn in, better than the Mini Metro I done lessons in!
Is that your own car in your profile pic? Looks extremely shiny! Have you had it coated or just like me, a bit of an obsessive car cleaner!
Welcome to SCN, yes a lovely car and a very nice colour too. I would have loved getting my lessons in such a car, not like the old LPG one that European driving school taught me in , that had hardly any power back in the 80's, enjoy.
Rover 100 was my first car, cars have come along way since. I think electric cars are great to learn in as throttle control is much better and more progressive. Born VZ is lovely and has some pace to it as well.
Yes, I picked up a brand new Raval V1 52kWH in September and an obsessive cleaner too... I put a coat of Autoglym Lifeshine CeraFuse then a coat of Fusso wax with Autoglym Cermaic spray on as coat for in between waxes.
Welcome @MilgeS. I remember you from your Polo GTI days over on uk-polos.net forum; I seem to remember more recently you’ve been on golfmk8.com forum as you’ve had a Golf since then. How did you find the Golf?
I look forward to hearing how you get on with the Born and yes, as others have said, the colour looks great - a nice pleasant change to see something that’s a bit more vibrant than the greys, blacks and whites that many (most?) car manufacturers seem to favour these days. Just make sure those learner drivers don’t get too close to the kerb when parallel parking!

Cool, I test drove a Raval after the Born, pretty much identical to drive, but the Born is up for £36k and I felt it was better to buy that after someone else took the big loss.
Good old Autoglym, I've used the SRP since I was a teen! There was one with a gold label too which I put over the top of the SRP back in the day.
I've not used Fusso, always read how good it is but I've got a bit lazy these days and tend to wash and use a watered down Sonax BSD to dry the car and protect it most times, or a spray spray and rinse if I'm pushed for time.
I have Turtle Wax ceramic spray and a spray sealant I'll do as soon as I get the car, and I'll do the interior with Gyeon fabric protector too, can't wait to get the car now.
Hello again, we seem to have the same taste in cars
Yes, the Polo was great, I had a really horrid noise on it that they said might be the flywheel, £2500 to sort it, I booked it in and literally an hour before I was due to drop the car off it suddenly stopped, and never made a noise again!
The Golf has been really nice, I'm reluctant to change it so soon but the price for the Born is too good to resist.
The only issue I've had with the Golf is the battery, even though it's not needed changing I keep getting 12v low warnings, then dashboard lights up, then it's fine, although one time it was taken in on the back of a truck because it had gearbox errors and lots of others.
All that was, apparently, the battery needed charging, bizarre!
I'm bound to be looking for advice on here, lots more new tech for me to get my head around on the Born!
