Excellent review ...

[@Peoplestariff]

What really impressed me at fully charged show was the cameras that you features the fact you can see potholes UNDER the car is amazing - it was also a great drive - I’m not excited by its looks but it makes up for it with the tech and solid build quality :)

[@mugaruraanslem6472]

This car is exceptional marvelous and practical. Its actually in excess in value for the money charged

[@tomattime]

BYD have a couple of remarkable cars on the way. The "gym" effect interior is amusing, and it is an interesting choice for the European launch of Build Your Dreams

[@krizndzone]

Please do a review on smart #1 😊

Body coloured… door mirrors. Modern car reviewers seem to not know where a cars wings are. 🤷‍♂️ Liked the Regen test. Modern Reviewers know more about this stuff !!

[@adamnesbitt7121]

The side profile is a Tucson and the front looks like a Kona electric 🤔 feel like I should see a Garda jump out of it 😂 Great review though

[@claudezangel7983]

One problem I'm have is when its a nice sunny day the infotainment screen darkens to the point that the its impossible to see anything on the screen. Is this normal?

[@TheAAie]

Hi Claude. I did notice that the screen could do with a little more brightness at times also. You can adjust it, but it still felt a little dark at times. Thanks for the comment!

[@claudezangel7983]

Thank you for your response. The screen is adjusted to 100% light but still goes so dark that it's difficult to see what's on the screen. Will be taking the car for 1st service tomorrow, will be interesting to see what they will have to say.

It's a pity we don't get the built-in dash cam that other countries are getting, otherwise it's fab.

What about a towbar? It is not approved in Ireland

[@godfreylarsen6370]

There is a BYD approved towbar here in NZ. 750 Kg rating 50 Kg tongue load.

Priced high for a car with no history in the west. Buying Chinese may be an issue as they may well be starting their own 'special operation' soon in Taiwan.

[@tombrady2194]

That's because it's MDL that's distributing it. They want to avoid the cheap and cheerful image.

[@user-hc5cg3jc3i]

Taiwan is part of China, it's an internal affair of China You studied history and territorial sovereignty? And the current government of Taiwan called the Republic of China government fled to Taiwan, you know? Why don't you tell your government to break off diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China and not recognize the One-China principle in violation of international treaties and the UN Charter? Now China is represented by the government of the People's Republic of China not the government of the Republic of China You understand? And if a province or part of your country becomes independent, will you allow and agree? Now there are pro-unification and pro-independence parties in Taiwan, but the Taiwan question has emerged. The United States has interfered with and supported the pro-independence parties over the years in hollowing out the One-China principle and interfering in China's internal affairs. It has also supported the pro-independence parties in changing academic courses, controlling the media, controlling public opinion, and so on. And if you think Chinese things are too much for you, throw away your food at home, your clothes, your underwear, your shoes, your home appliances, your mobile phones, your drones, your electronics, your cars, your technology, your products, everything that is made in China or related to China or stop buying it. Can you do that?

[@othmanmajid6380]

I doubt it.

[@jizhang75]

Nobody force u to buy

[@silveriver9]

How many special operations have the US done? Allow me to enlightenment you: The US has been at war 93% of the time - 227 out of 245 years - since its founding in 1776. i.e. the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth. History teaches us lessons about how it’s easier to blame others than blame ourselves. Now, shouldn't you be making noise about this fact instead of fearmongering? 🤡
