The missus chose this as she often reminds me but I have to agree with you both
They are suffering very heavy depreciation, I saw quite a few £30k cars still only 8 months old at 23k ish on Honda approved used earlier. Still not bargains by any stretch I admit but beats a ****ing Renno or a Corsa any day for me
the missus likes the new Mokka. There is zero hope for some
Honda's done some lovely shades of blue over the years and it's one of those.
I can imagine these will fall out of bed pretty quickly. The only ones that seem not to are Teslas, but then their aficionados often seem mentally deranged.
If Toyota does succeed with its solid-state battery (promised for '25) then you'll hear the whistling as they descend.
The only thing the e really lacks is a centre armrest - I suppose it'd spoil the lines.

One can always rent to decouple depreciation from sleep patterns. I have taken a chance with the Yaris, my first new car for a while, but I'm confident any pain won't be JLR or Maserati sized.
Fear of heavy deprec is what motivated me to go ex demo.
Everyone is obsessed by range. Well not everyone.
I tend to keep cars quite a long time so over that period it will look a lot less significant.
I think after 10 years it will be worth feck all which is the way of these things now, most people seem to prefer PCP or whatever other rental drug they can get but the maths simply didn't stack up on that for me, think they wanted about 16k to run for 3 years on those deals so it felt weighted to Honda.. year 1 will be worst hit and cars, by August, will be say 22k ish. I suppose 16k might have been ok after all but mine had dropped 5k before I bought so...

Its not a GR is it? The car of the moment that
£16K for three years sounds daft to me - for what's actually on offer. As you say, over 10, insignificant. It will be interesting to see the point at which it is next to worthless without a new Duracell though. Might be a bit less than ten years. Yes GR. But mine not leased. Mum has the shopping cars. I cannot do leasing - it does my head in thinking about damage/handing it back and arguing, etc. I find hiring a car from Avis stressful enough.
GR will be much fun I expect and not daft money to run.
I reckon a new batt will be sub £5k in 2031. They are supposed to last quite well if you cycle them which I do, for me a phone batt lasts 2 years but that is 700+ charges absolute abuse, daily multiple charges etc.
I reckon 1-2 a week in this so at the point honda warranty starts to expire it might be pretty bad I agree. Tesla's seem to do quite well but not much wiggle room here
dunno what the trade in is on the old batt
Interested in any thoughts on cycling the batt to maximise life.
Up to now been charging when power is cheap brought oop i'Yorkshire.
Almost always up to 100% from anything as low as 33% or as high as 66%.
