BYD Seal U DM-i

Has anyone got this car?

I looked to see if there was a BYD thread and couldnt see it.

Me too.

What is interesting to me is that all EU cars imported face no tax but those from China are at 12% (10 plus 2 for the vat that gets added on top). And yet they still manage to compete.

They get mediocre reviews in the likes of WhatCar but I have to wonder what kind of relationship those magazine reviewers have with the existing manufacturers.

I'm thinking for myself though - planning on a test drive fairly soon.

I had one as a hire car last week. It was much better than I expected. The electric running was better than the hybrid ice. I thought it would have made a better EV than hybrid. Nothing for the enthusiast as far as driving it goes but that's no different to the Qashqui, Octavia, MG, DS7, Grandland etc I usually get. It's nicer than the Vauxhall and MG and no worse than the rest.
