The reason for the lower price is simple: the Mobility element (PIP/DWP) went up by 10% in April, hence the dealers can charge less for AP now.
? Wow! For real? That’s not how that works
"Come on BYD Seal!"Time to have a re-think on my options
re-think on your dealer methinks! Care to name and shame?
Is there a dealer review thread somewhere ?
"Come on BYD Seal!"The cost for joe public insuring a car is rising very quickly
Was pleasantly surprised that my 3 litre jaaaaag was only £288. 9 years NCB, I’m a 39 year old male
"Come on BYD Seal!"However Nissan seem to have the opposite idea with the QQ at least.
For shame!
"Come on BYD Seal!"Why are the APs on these electric cars so high?
Second hand market for EV is very poor, so you’re helping front load the loss.
You get a free charger for your drive though 🙂
"Come on BYD Seal!"Oh I thought the body size of the Qashqai was longer and wider seeing one on the road yesterday
Marginally:
The Qashqai is longer than the Juke by about 215 mm (8.46 in.)
The Qashqai is wider than the Juke by about 35 mm (1.38 in.) with mirrors folded
The Qashqai is taller than the Juke by about 52 mm (2.05 in.) with shark fin antenna
The Qashqai has a larger wheelbase than the Juke by about 29 mm (1.14 in.)
"Come on BYD Seal!"My guess is 46/7. Depends where you reset the counter of course.
Speed is your enemy. Over 20mph you’re exerting 80% of your energy getting through the wind.
And that’s why I don’t run ?
"Come on BYD Seal!"On the contrary I’ve found it quite unobtrusive and predictable. Had heard nightmare stories but haven’t experienced any problems in 7 years.
"Come on BYD Seal!"Volkswagen’s parts problems are ridiculous. This mechanism is on so many of their cars ?
Motability may offer to get a hire car for you if courtesy car is unavailable.
"Come on BYD Seal!"why is everything a hassle all the time now
Amen. Was discussing this very thing today ??♂️?
"Come on BYD Seal!"If they can put a £55k ID5 on the scheme, I see no reason the Ocean can’t be added at £49k
Motability accept your challenge ?
"Come on BYD Seal!"I think I can explain why the VW ID5 is on Motability at £55,000, is it because its only worth £42,000.
Your generosity knows no bounds ?
"Come on BYD Seal!"I had the same problem with mine. Needed a new steering wheel fitted, this sorted the issue
Came here to say this! Same thing on my Golf. Maybe it was the clock spring iirc. Necessitated two 30 mile round trips to show them the error, it was then that I realised that my next car wouldn’t be from them! Haha
Then they put it back on wrong and it was a palaver during COVID ?? oh my God I hate cars.
"Come on BYD Seal!"The infotainment screen is mainly controlled by steering wheel buttons!
Music to my fingers!
Cheers Mike for keeping us updated on your E Power experience
Hear, hear, thanks Mike 🙂
"Come on BYD Seal!"Not a fan either, @Effkay?
Fan of a full touch option? Not sure, never had a car that has that before. Last 2 cars had like a “controller” near the gearbox, which made it easier to swipe through menu quickly.
It frustrates me greatly, given my left arm is a bit of dead weight ? controllers by the gear knob are awesome.
"Come on BYD Seal!"Not a fan either, @Effkay? ?
"Come on BYD Seal!"I’d still seriously consider one if it came on the scheme though!
While we are indulging unlikely scenarios I’d really like to see Polestar on the scheme…
"Come on BYD Seal!"It can be done in other countries but not here in the UK, as it’s not legal due to the security implications of having your car running, insurance etc.
A thorough shame, remote start is great 🙂
Starting to think that the government doesn’t like car drivers ?
"Come on BYD Seal!"you are right l have tried ‘every which way’ but currently it does not work on the epower -shame, another great selling point!
Disappointing! A great feature (especially for defrosting)
"Come on BYD Seal!"
