Ohhh yes! Look, I’m not an EV enthusiast but this car might change my mind. I love the way it looks from every angle. Just needs a trapper keeper background to complete the look.

Because you like that or don’t like that?
I thought the Ionic 5 N with fake shifts and engine noise was dumb at first until I realized just how useful it is on track. I’m learning how to race real cars (and sim) and have learned we pay attention to the gear we’re in by turn and where in that gear we’re at not the speed the vehicle is traveling. So there is a purpose.

Say more other than I’m wrong and learning the wrong way.

Have you raced an EV? Because I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.
It’s not about the limitations of the platform.

Your argument is it’s about the platform and it’s not. Learning a track and maintaining speed helps with a limit.
Everyone I’ve talked to, raced with, learned from had all agreed. That’s why they don’t race DCTs or CVTs in “auto” mode. The platform isn’t the issue, it’s the extra layer of control.
And you be fair you haven’t offered an argument other than to say I’m wrong which isn’t an argument but a disagreement. And when you didn’t provide anything in the form of an argument other than to say I’m wrong.

I think we’re taking past each other at this point as your counter arguments are missing the point I’m trying to make.
I’m glad you’re a car enthusiast and I’ll just move on. Have a great long weekend if you’re in NA.
Thank you for confirming something I’ve suspected, which is that engine noises aren’t just for fun but provide useful feedback on how the car is driving.
But also a lot of fun! My friends almost all disagree, they think a car should be quiet, with their luxury vehicles. I’ll take something loud and visceral every day of the week.
Having done a long road trip in a GTI with a catback, custom intake, and coilovers and it wasn’t nearly as nice as if I’d been in my nice, quiet, smooth Volvo.
But outside of road trips like that I’m with you on wanting something that makes some noise.
