What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Audi e-tron
50 quattro
Owners love
- Owners consistently praise the refinement, comfort and build quality: quiet, smooth and very well finished.
- Rapid charging holds around 150 kW for much of the charge, so long trips are practical despite the modest range.
- It is roomy for a family, with all-wheel drive that copes well in snow and bad weather.
Watch out for
- Efficiency is poor, around 2 to 2.6 miles per kWh, so real-world range is often well under 200 miles and drops 20 to 45% in winter.
- Some 2019-2022 55s were caught by a high-voltage battery recall, with owners reporting an 80% charge limit and rapid-charging restrictions while waiting for a fix.
- A minority report water leaks into the footwells or from the panoramic roof, and problems with the optional camera mirrors.
Owner tips
- On a 55, check whether battery recall work is done and whether any charging limit is still in place.
- Keep the Audi service history complete, as owners report warranty claims refused over missed services.
Ford Capri
Style Standard Range 58kWh
Owners love
- Owners report realistic ranges of 300 miles or more and good efficiency, especially on the rear-wheel-drive car.
- It is comfortable and easy to drive, with light steering and a good driving position.
- The boot is large and the cabin roomy for a coupe-SUV, so it works as a family car.
Watch out for
- The FordPass app is slow to connect and less capable than rival apps.
- The infotainment menus are jumbled, and the touch-sensitive steering wheel buttons draw criticism.
- There are no physical climate controls.
Owner tips
- Try the FordPass app before you buy if you rely on remote charging and preconditioning.
- Use phone mirroring for navigation rather than the built-in menus.

Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Audi e-tron or the Ford Capri?
The Ford Capri is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 63 mm narrower than the Audi e-tron. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 528 mm of total clearance for the Ford Capri and about 465 mm of total clearance for the Audi e-tron. The Ford Capri also turns in a 1.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Audi e-tron or the Ford Capri?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Audi e-tron and 90% for the Ford Capri. That gives the Ford Capri a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Ford Capri's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Audi e-tron's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
