Set the sat-nav for the dentist

A couple of niggles about the Zoe. I’ve tackled the towering ride height, but running a close second is the inexplicably brittle and harsh secondary ride quality. On smooth, fast roads, the Zoe feels calm and composed. But here in West Sussex, most of the roads are rather more challenging, and I wish Renault’s ride and handling engineers had experienced the feeling of their fillings coming loose before deciding that the Zoe Mk3 was ready to meet its public. I appreciate it’s not easy to make a chubby 1502kg supermini glide like a Phantom, but it’s a shame when so much about this car is so good.
