    So, I’ve never owned one, but did a test ride on a con. It was the most plasticy, janky mess I ever sat in. Ok, a Hummer I once sat in was maybe equally bad.

    Every surface your hand could touch wasn’t fastened properly and moved in ways it shouldn’t. The door handles wiggled about. The touch screen replacing the middle console - absolute nightmare. The swinging door got stuck halfway.

    You could say, all of this is the interior and not the engine. But it’s what the user interacts with. If I can’t trust the manufacturer from my experience with the door handle, I’ll have a hard time trusting them about the brakes.

      Blimey, maybe their production quality varies based on which factory it was built in (or Euro NCAP have better quality control regs), the one I’ve been in was lovely!
