    just test drove the Nanobox. cheaper version of the Dacia Spring (which is euro ncap 1-star). not sure about the crash rating of Nanobox but it does have 2 airbags. probably safe enough for crowded city streets

    feels like you're riding a honda jazz GD i.e. feels light and "crashy" w/ short travel suspension. but the acceleration from standstill blows the jazz out of the water, accelerating like a nissan kicks

    the similarities w/ jazz end there. cabin seems narrower than jimny jb74 coz my left shoulder is already hitting against some plastic panel. can be very annoying on long drives. definitely not a car for big people and i'm "just" 5'11" btw

    rear seats not split folding

    the battery seems to be jutting out from under the car so don't be deceived by the crossover styling. the ground clearance is abysmal. you could even damage the battery by driving over a rock or something

    i don't think it's safe enough for expressway driving. might be a good idea to spend a bit more for a BYD Dolphin

    ... it's shorter and narrower than a wigo,
    but is bigger than a jetour ice cream.

    so sir,
    is it something you may consider acquiring?

    at 888k probably not. 750k, maybe, but won't use it on expressways. but then again what's the point of buying if you won't use it on expressways so byd dolphin is probably a better buy. 5-star safety. 0 to 50kph in 3.9 seconds. gotta test drive it asap

    I will have mine released tomorrow.

    "Proof of the pudding is in the eating" so it is best you have a test drive of your own.
