    Everyone circlejerks about this online but every IRL owner I’ve actually spoken to say it’s the best car they’ve ever owned.

      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!

      Yeah, because who wouldn’t want to drive a car from a company whose quality control policy is “don’t” that does welding like this?

      And fit things together this well

      It may be quick and pretty to look at if you don’t inspect it closely, but it has the price tag of a brand new Aston Martin and the build quality of an 80s Yugo.
