Reading that, it would definitely be a brand to ignore for me. Too many issues for my liking.
I know, I mostly mentioned cons here lol 🙂
when I choosing a car, I use kinda points system, and BYD Atto scored most over Toyota and others. Ya know, AP price, availability, tech count and so on.
Its very hard to explain… when you sit in Toyota, Hyundai (except Ionic 5), Kia and others, you kinda ok, looking what you got for price, everything about dull same interior over years. When you sit in BYD, you kinda traveled to future, its like driving spaceship, not a car. Every small detail:
ex yesterday I exit car and heard very gentle girls voice “you left your keys in the car”. At first by surprise I thought “the heck, is someone just flirting with me???”. Then I realised that is car speaking with me. Its so gentle non intrusive voice. My daughter said today after watching tube videos: “BYD, drop the top!”. Gentle Byd stewardess said “opening only half way, speed to high”.
Plenty of cons in that car, but pros more. Ex amazing high end Mercedes class LED, wow bright, exceptional fast high beam sensor, infotainment screen size and speed like 70k german cars. And list of small things goes on.
Is rly hard to say, sometimes come to personal preferences. I love future tech for affordable price, always been into it. Why I need invest all my money to 5k AP (and borrow some) to get high tech? BYD offers half of that tech for £0 AP.
My family happy at rear seats, bright, comfy like in Mercedes-that matters me most.
