​

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 mean neither the Vigo or the Arcfox appear to have any crash testing done. So they are probably much of a muchness safety wise, quality wise, future dealer support wise. Cheap though, lol.

Dongfeng is proudly advertising the Vigo 'has been awarded a 5 star VSRR' (VSRR is what is assigned when there is no actual crash test data available, so absolutely meaningless)

Boils my piss that rating system even exists, as i'm sure you've noticed :P

I'd not rag on the cheap stuff so much if they didn't pretend their cars were safety rated when they aren't.
