Hello and thank you for creating this forum. I'm French, I like nice cars, but the taxes here are horrible. I have a Mercedes 350de and my wife a Clubman S. I already liked the Karma when I was young. And I think I'm gonna love the ocean. I just want a fun, fast car. I think I'll start booking.

Bonjour @Frenchlaurent and welcome to the forum! If you get an Ocean will it be your first EV?

 

[Frenchlaurent]

Thank you, yes I only had a mercedes hybrid. Tesla makes amazing cars, but I'm not attracted. Maybe fisker....???

Magna International is building the Ocean at its world-class
manufacturing plant in Graz, Austria...

They also build the pedestrian looking Mercedes G class
and Jaguar iPace and BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra...
That's pretty good company!

How are you planning to spec your Ocean?

Hello Fullycharged. ultra model or extrem model. I would like to try a full black (cars + wheels) but I haven't thought about that too much yet

Bonjour Frenchlaurent. I want the Extreme because it will have the full suite of Intelligent Pilot functions. If they'll be optional on the Ultra, I may go with that.

However, I just came across this comparison test which makes me a bit apprehensive.

New Kia EV6 vs used Jaguar I-Pace: costs

The Kia EV6 is a class-leading new electric SUV, but for slightly less you could have a used version of Jaguar's super-desirable I-Pace. So, which is the better buy?

...the I-Pace finished in last place (eighth out of eight) in the electric car category...

I would probably put the fault on Jaguar for the design issues. It's also their first EV and almost a six year old design now. That said, the reliability is a bit of a concern on the I-Pace. On Consumer Reports, here is the ranking of similar EVs and it ranks in the middle of the pack overall:
