What about the decibels in car on soft or hard surfaces. Is there a reversing camera or 360 one?

@ridrismusa Ай бұрын

Those arrow lights on the back kinda make the car look less expensive & attractive IMO..

@Thisonegoestoeleven666 Ай бұрын

Duplo styling from the Chinese. Lame.

Looks like a Maserati Gt. Those rear lights though.....shocking 😷

Those tail lights are truly awful. MX-5 at half the price seems the way to go.

@assetpropertysales2779 Ай бұрын

MX5 you have to manually open or close the roof and it does not do 3.2 seconds zero to 100. Big difference you’re not comparing like with like

120K for a Chinese made roadster with no history, motorsport history and a shocking rep for reliability and after sales service. You are dreaming. No physical buttons for HVAC. 60K tops. Big Nup from me.

Good balanced review. There are lots of reviews for owners overseas. Most rave about the car. It does not suit people over 2 metres tall though as the top of the windscreen is at eye level.

It's actually not that horrible. The Lexus LC500 is 2035kg. Jaguar F-Type is about 1800kg. Mustang GT convertible is 1881kg. The MG is faster than all of the above, not that it means anything...

MX5 weighs half…… light weight sports car is more for me

@yjs Ай бұрын

@@converdis449 Of course, the MX-5 is an excellent car and I used to own a NB turbo. However, the Cyberster, Lexus LC, Jaguar F-Type, Mustang GT etc are more 'grand tourers' and not really sports cars. Hell, even the Porsche 911 Turbo is now more than 1700kg! The fact is, all cars including performance cars are getting porkier year by year. Cyberster is not that much heavier than other high performance convertible/coupes shows modern EVs don't have that much of a weight penalty compared to ICE equivalents.

Agree maybe wait 12 months and it will be around $60,000 . Charging speed, and approx 400km per ‘tank full’ isn’t impressive. It will sell to the image conscious ‘look at me’ crowd.

Chinese car quality has actually increased substantially in recent years and I dare say match some of the less reliable Japanese brands. Agree with you on heritage and resale value though, 120k is way too much for a brand that hasn’t gained the public’s trust although it’s probably just a matter of time if they keep making decent cars.

@rickfeng4466 Ай бұрын

I totally agree with poor Chinese quality! Like the electronic device of nowadays, they are all made in China so a new version has to come out every year!😉 Back in the days a good home phone can last for years, decades even!😂 Yeah we should totally return to the good old days when all the crap quality stuff were made in Japan!🤭 Oh oh, better even, return to the time when German quality were so poor we Brits have to make a new law that all German imports must have “Made in Germany” labels so people can avoid them!🤣

Nothing against EV, but the reality is, who cares about the listed RRP. Like many EV on the market right now, give it 12mths and it will drop by 15%-20% on brand new asking price. While 40% deprecation in 2nd hand market. 18-24 months and fall another 5-10% on the brand new asking price.

@dallasdrew2390 @dallasdrew2390 Name an ICE brand that dropped their asking retail price by 20% within 12mths and up to 40% of depression in the 2nd hand market within the same period. I can name a few EVs, Tesla, LDV, and MG. Those who know their vehicle market would know it is unique to EV at the moment, over supply, under demand, basic economic. No point denying it.

@@dallasdrew2390 Knowing how to do a basic Google search is one thing, but finding the relevant content and understanding the subject? That’s a whole different ballgame. So let me use some layman's terms by using the RAV4 and publicly obtainable figures from well-known sources like Carsales, Carsguide and Redbook. In Australia, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid's price rose from $34,900 in 2022 to $39,760 in 2024 (a 13.92% increase), while the Tesla Model Y's price dropped from $72,300 to $55,900 over the same period (a 22.68% decrease). If both were bought new in 2022, the RAV4 Hybrid would have depreciated by $7,654.97 (21.94%), compared to the Model Y's whopping $31,930.57 (44.17%). So who in their right would buy an EV that not only drops in retail value significantly but continues to depreciate even faster? Alright, basic maths and economics classes are over.

In hindsight one of the made in Australian MGBs driven by the late Majesty the Queen and then-Prince Charles with Diana. Times changed unbeknownst to the Queen when UK MG goes into hiatus so-called SAIC acquired yet colonized to restart MG Motors until the day Longbridge has closed no more made in UK MGs permanently continued with cheap made in China MGs. Reap what you sow King Charles rather push an MG Cyberster or an ironic MG4 than drove his first MGC.
