Nice, we did the same recently.

The choice was

  2016 100k km Golf Plus for 16k eur 
  2020 50k  km e-Golf    for 13k eur
I'm so glad we picked the e-golf! It's so fast and nice to drive and cheap to run. Only downside is the limited range (200km on a summer day) but even my commute (100km one-way) is OK as I can charge at work and home.

That said, we still have a Touran for when we need to drive further or with lots of luggage.

If only the chairs in the eGolf were a bit better...



Bad seats in a VW? Yeah, I guess they really saved too much on the interior in that generation.


My parents have a SportWagen with various extra cushions on the seats because they find them so uncomfortable.


If that were me then for that much money I'd just buy a used Tesla Model 3


For many people in Europe, Tesla is just out of question now.


A used tesla model 3 in the Netherlands is upwards of 20k euro, so quite a different price bracket.


Also, guessing here, the insurance is quite a bit higher.

The 400+hp Teslas are super-expensive to insure here in Sweden. Like 3x the price of only slightly cheaper, but less powerful EVs.


I see them for 14-15k€ on mobile.de, even as low as 12k€
