Polestar 2 Official Review Thread

It is exciting to see all the different new entries in the electric vehicle market.

The different all electric models from different manufacturers should begin to exert price,quality and value competition in this segment. Hopefully all the electric car manufactures will feel the heat to compete for our dollar.

Thanks for posting about this new entry for us!

 

Oh the joy of being the first to pull into a Volvo dealership with a Polestar and a problem. Yea, we'll order that part and it will come by USPS.

And what is the moonroof craze? As one of the reviewers said, I don't need all that sun on my follically challenged head.

Nice looking car for around town, but try to take a 300 mile trip even in heavily populated areas with chargers and the charge rate won't be a fun experience. Advantage Tesla.

 

Range not mentioned. And you have to pay extra for better brakes on a Volvo?

 

330km, though the writing made it sound like that was what the display was saying, but they followed it with 375km without the performance package.

Sport packages and trims getting better, brand name brakes is something that can happen with many brands. And it is something that could be done aftermarket for more models. The HHR SS got Brembos with larger wheels. The spare would not fit on the front better of the large rotors. So flat in the front meant putting spare on rear, and moving the rear to the flat.

The brakes are better in the same way a more powerful engine is better. If you want that type of stopping power, it is available, but it doesn't mean the standard brakes are substandard.
