Description

I can’t see that any of these cars were driven at the limit, or even fast. No lap times either?

Should have tested the model Y against the Mach-e to be a fair comparison eg SUV vs SUV not sedan vs SUV

The M3P is very hard to ignore as a package, but the 5N in that colour looks great!

Good video. I agree with your logic and choice here. I don’t have a M3P. I have and love my M3 LR AWD, and am looking forward to its performance upgrade coming soon. Having said that, if I had the money, I’d get the Ioniq 5N for the reasons you specified. I don’t have anywhere near that money. The M3 LR AWD cost me $42k after the tax break. The N is listed for $66k. The M3P is also fairly significantly cheaper than the Ioniq. But once you’re in its territory, it’s easier to justify the jump to an N.
