Why is ur neighbour constantly downgrading? Next one Proton EV?
for the BMW I think so, I checked the price, super expensive and probably very expensive to maintain. but as for the MG to Dong Fong I am not sure. but her new dongfong looks very nice in army green.

I had owned 1 x Hyundai, 1 x Subaru and 3 x Honda. Currently driving a BYD and I had to say, it give me the smoothest ride but I didn’t not know till I test drive the ride. The push factor at that time is
1. BYD battery
2. Over 100k trade in value for my 5 years old ICE Honda
3. Servicing and battery warranty for 10 years
4. It seems that Japan is lacking behind in EV development
Howver, anytime when Japan catch up on EV, I will go back to Japanese brand.

Japan atm is not really interesting in developing EV, they rather focus on their tried and proven hybrids

BYD is popular because of its quick development and deployment into the market. They cater to today's current market and demand

Japan won't rush into developing EV just to be in the game, so don't expect to see their mainstream EV anytime soon

everything is good when it is new. everything is good until it isn't. buyers beware..... but can't walk away from a seemingly good deal on paper I guess.....

For Japanese currently Lexus has the RZ. But apparently reviews noted uncompetitive battery tech, performance and range. Which appears to be a general issue for most legacy brands. Toyota has the BZ which is already in China. It should be coming to Spore.

Yes, moreover BYD start off as battery manufacturer so should be ok. I heard Tesla getting battery from BYD too plus they got Wolfgang Egger to design the car, someone who knows car design inside out, so at this moment, BYD should be 1 of the choice ba?
