Ok so it’s electric and Chinese. I can guess this thread will not generate enthusiasm!

New salary sacrifice scheme as we came to change our second car. Looking at the scheme the ‘normal’ cars were expensive at around £600 per month. We were going to look at Renault 5’s but the Leapmotor was on special offer. We went to rule it out, and came away surprised at the quality.

It’s arrive today so a bit of getting to know it. Very easy to drive although the steering is ridiculously light on most modes. 259 miles range with 20-80% in around 20 minutes.

It’s light airy and comfortable. And the cost.. well that’s its real win. £325 a month on an 8k pa contract. Xs miles are 2.6p I think.

Looks great in white.
Is £325 the post-tax cost? Seems a lot of car for not much money.

Yes. It’s only that chunky as my employer has chucked on all the insurances

But retail deals are available at £999 deposit and £325 a month payment.

No options are available as it pretty much has everything.

I've had the T03 for nearly a year now, and it's been very good. Yours will have much more software gadgets than mine, so you'll have a bit of a learning curve.

From what I can see, many so-called "issues" are due to owners not familiarising themselves with the controls properly.

Enjoy

Im not seeing many "controls". Just an ipad nailed to the dash?

Yep, that's pretty much it! You'll have a lot toys to play with, via the touchscreen...

My other car is a Tesla. I’m not scared of a screen.
