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.thx man you gave my confidence back 🙂
We reached Motability and they told us that we can cancel order and make new one, but advised to check dealers before doing that. we thought before that all our business now with dealer and motability is done their job.
So we discussing with family maybe give last chance to Vantage Wakefield give car straight away or we moving elsewhere. But I doubt do they care.
Otherwise we explore Toyota dealers around (we still stubborn want Bz4x, we in love with this car 🙂 ) and if we face same “promises promises” we will try move to another brand. We kinda ok-ish with Ioniq 5 and in Wakefield they said that possible they have in stock, but pay ~£1300 for lowest trim over top of £750 we cant afford that, so we moved to toyota. At that time we dont know that some dealers offer discounts. Also Nissan Arya kinda of nice family car, but max we can pay maybe £500 on top of that £750.
How long after ordering did you receive what looked like a contract letter? You normally get some paperwork at the time of ordering the vehicle with the dealer but it doen’t contain registration details. On the day of collection you receive more paperwork. You are in your rights to cancell and move to another dealer.
yes we received letter called “Hire agreement regulated by consumer act 1974”. It contains Vehicle ID, reg plate number and reg data at 26/02/2024.
So I have no idea what stage we are here.
Been waiting 7 months for i4 suppose it’s more of a concern or frustrating to customers new to motability.
Yeah, agree. We choose Toyota because they promised 2 weeks.
I knew that dealers are liars, but local dealer lied like his life depends on it. First promised car Feb 6, then Feb 19, now got email that “From Feb 26”. “From” means probably March something. Very frustrating….
Nissan Leaf here, max 100 miles range on motorway if we lucky, chademo max 50kWh DC charging (usually average 20kWh). Home charging 3 pin socket in borrowed my neighbor driveway.
Its all depends where you driving and family or alone. We drive 90% city, but now first time ordered Bz4x. So we want to travel now, because we want our autistic son help get out of room. My son and wife are ICE fans, but I convinced them that with new CCS around 70-140kWh charging speed is matter of “time=bladder” calculations.
Average our motorway speed is 55-60mph, according car trip meter. Average my family bladder hold 1.5-2h.
So… Im taking calculator (brains degraded because of smartphones) and got “family range” 80-120 miles. Average “toilets-snacks-meal” time in motorway services is 20-40min.All good.
