Anyone got one, Omada, Jaecoo, BYD etc?

Test drove a couple and they seem ace, loads of spec and decent prices.

Just not sure whether I would regret getting one or not?

BYDHas anyone seen the new engine/ electric engine in development by BYD? It takes a whole new view on efficiency by using the petrol engine to charge the battery. Because it’s so highly tuned and thermodynamically efficient they claim 2000km per tank of fuel.

Test drove one yesterday, very nice. Gone a bit overboard with all the safety beeps and noises though. It's one of those hybrid things with only a 50 mile range on electric, not sure I see the point of that.

They best ones are still not over here yet like Xpec

MG have brought 2 new ones out but not under the MG badge (a good thing) but called IM and the comeptitor to the Model 3 and Model Y. They look more than decent.

Can only offer an opinion on two

Had an MG SUV thing as a courtesy car recently.

It was fucking mental. A lot of the tech is very clever but not needed and a pain in the arse

I was sat in standing traffic, not moving at all. Picked up my phone to read a message and the fucking hazards started flashing
Put the phone down and they stopped.

Basically it's a fucking grass.

Oh and BYD. I've never driven one, but I've seen some have "Build Your Dreams" on the back.

Sounds like a middle aged woman's leg tattoo.

So it's basically the car equivalent of "Live, Laugh, Love"

I had a new Mercedes as a courtesy car recently. The prick kept telling me off for going 1 mph over the speed limit.

It was like having a second wife for the day.

Really good, low maintenance.

Took mine to get checked over as I thought I might need the breaks doing, but the mechanic said I still had a great set of pads

Re: Chinese Cars

They seem to be way ahead of the European EVs. I wouldn't hesitate in buying one for my next car.

MG are Chinese and they'd all be a lot cheaper if it wasn't for European tarif imposition

My missus has an MG EV and to be honest its surprisingly good. The software and the drive is way better than my Nissan for instance.

It's one ugly mo-fo of a car though.

how spacious is it?

I've got to start considering my next car as my current lease is coming to an end!

My lad is over 6ft and needs a load of space in the back.

also take a load of football training hear weekends

Re: Chinese Cars

It's not a massive car - probably equivalent in size to a Kia Sportage.

Back seats seem fine for space although I'm only 5 10.

It's her car rather than mine so I've used it here and there rather than all the time. Drove it to the accrington friendly a few weeks ago and it was sound for that too.

Good though.

I need a big car for my bikes and work stuff and I wouldn't have hesitated if BYD did a model that suited. In the end I went for a pole star 3 which is coming next month.

Re: Chinese Cars

i like the look of the pole stars.

I currently have a Sportage and there is plenty of room in it for him, not so much the football stuff and cricket bags

@Cesc_Pistol

Re: Chinese Cars

I've never been that arsed about the outside of cars (or the name on the badge for that matter) I've always prioritised the interior.

The pole stars are really nice inside.

Tbf I think most new cars (especially EVs) are crammed with good tech nowadays.

Re: Chinese Cars

@Cesc_Pistol

Re: Chinese Cars

I think they are keeping them keen to get market share
