The ID4's 0-60 is 7.something seconds. An early 2000s VW GTI ($3000?) with a mild tune is faster.


I out-accelerated a Porsche boxter in my ford focus EV with similar or worse acceleration stats to the ID.4

We were neck&neck but then he had to shift out of first.

0-60 is one measure but in city driving the 0-30 is even more relevant.


Bad driver :)


All I know is that I hear a hell a lot of noise behind me.

Maybe the point is to make it sound like you're working really hard but not actually go fast, I've kinda checked out of car culture.

well -- with all due respect -- maybe leave comments like the following to people who are into cars. 6.0-7.0 0-60 hasn't been quick for 30+ years.

>it'll outrun all but the hottest of rods that car to rev their engine at a stoplight.

a 1992 Acura Legend will run a 7.6, a BMW 530i from 05 will run a 6.7, a 1999 Ford Mustang will run a 5.4.

Not that it matters in the very least bit, i'm glad you're happy with the car -- just don't bother with the 'quickness' comparisons.

Decibel comparisons? go wild.

food for thought : a sibling has a very loud modified Honda that is obnoxious as hell. He drives slowly everywhere he goes , but by every indication all the traffic near him thinks that they're in a race with him just by virtue of his car being so damn loud as if it were racing. Maybe something similar?


Perhaps, but when you're driving an ID4 and riding on a high horse, you get an extra boost.
