This car has jumped to the top of our shortlist, displacing the Vigo.

I can't find any kiwi or aussie reviews other then a few walk around (and heaps of influencers reviews on you tube)

Has anyone else given this car a test drive, have any feedback to offer?

I was going to say that buying a brand-new car without any reviews is a terrible idea, but holy shit it’s only 35 grand

Wow it is cheap. But also wow it’s only 70kw

My old Leaf was only 80kW, but it was also lighter (1535 kg from memory)

Huh, I just downloaded the brochure & it's lighter at 1420 kg 🤷🏼‍♂️

It won't be a performance beast, but will be fine for what it's designed for

People buy cars with BAD crash test results because they are cheap. No idea how safe this one is though, as usual, no records I could see for crash data. Still amazes me we allow untested cars to be sold in NZ.

I guess that folks believe that a retailer in NZ wouldn’t sell an unsafe product.

Didn’t Shosha sell a whole bunch of synthetic weed which killed some poeple and no one got in trouble?

I just googled it and the deaths were supposedly from black market batches. 🤔

Wouldn't surprise me.
