So, just wait 5 more years and then we'll have this conversation. Good thing is, you'll probably enjoy the car during these honeymoon years compared to a boring Toyota.

              Why do you think the MX5, Celica, BRZ, etc. were such successes?

              Wait after 6 years and see how great an Alfa is. Then you can weigh up the depreciation versus mechanical costs to whether you sell or keep it 😂

              @freefall101: Had multiple versions of the Outlander over the years and not had any issues with them. Note the Australian versions are Japanese made so that could be a contributing factor.

              In regards to JD Power I have friends who were car salesmen in the US and said that it was nothing but a for profit scam. You only have to look at all the GM Ads over there saying how great their cars are according to JD Power. There is a reason why people stopped buying their cars over here. GM cars are far from reliable.

      I think "real" leather is better, obviously, but have you ever looked at an old car with real leather seats? They're usually cracked and/or badly wrinkled and look terrible. Much harder to keep real leather looking good.

      • namenotspecified on 01/10/2025 - 10:01
        +4

        Genuine question: isn't that because their owners haven't conditioned them? Shouldn't natural leather easily outlast fake leather?

      • dealhunter52 on 01/10/2025 - 10:03
        +1

        No, it's not hard. It will keep looking good for a long time, if you condition it with leather cream every year or 2. Cracking happens only due to dryness. Genuine leather is an organic material that needs moisture and oils just like your skin. Applying a leather conditioner helps replenish these lost oils, keeping the leather soft, flexible, and protected from drying, cracking, and other forms of deterioration.

      • noisymime on 01/10/2025 - 10:36

        It depends how 'old' and how high quality you're looking at. Even the real leather in most cars has been terrible quality for a long time, at least in anything outside of super high end models.

        Even things like E Class or 5 series have had shit leather the last 20 years at least.

    My observations from OzB and various car websites is that the new Chineses cars frequently get either discounted, or have a deal (charger, accessories etc.) after a 2-3 months on the market. Moving towards the end of the calendar year, there could be even further drops. Unless you need the car now, you can probably wait until the dust has settled with the new model. Thumbs down for Stellantis for me.

    • noisymime on 01/10/2025 - 10:43

      Leapmotor are far more budget than Tesla, the features aren't even close. The Chinese Tesla would be a Zeekr or an Xpeng, which granted aren't half the Tesla price, but they are significantly cheaper for similar quality and features.

      • serpserpserp on 01/10/2025 - 14:12

        but they are significantly cheaper for similar quality and features.

        I think you meant to say they are sometimes slightly cheaper, but quality is on par or more premium and has more features.

        • noisymime on 01/10/2025 - 14:37

          Typically 15-20% cheaper on equivalent specs in my experience, which I'd consider significant. Can't please everyone though.

        Aussie sun has much higher UV and often hotter. Paint and plastics that are fine in other countries often don't cope well here.
        Not exactly news

        • serpserpserp on 01/10/2025 - 15:10

          Lots of euro cars don't cope either. Mine didn't. It isn't a new brand or Chinese car thing. It is all cars.

          • King Tightarse on 01/10/2025 - 15:25

            @serpserpserp: Yes lots of Euro cars are not ready for the Australian sun either. My family had a Audi that suffered with a cracking interior by about 5 years old. The Aussie sun sorts 'em out quickly, unless they have taken the hard UV in to account.
            The question with these new brands - are they going to hold up? Do they care about long term?
            We don't know the answer to that yet.

            • serpserpserp on 01/10/2025 - 18:29

              @King Tightarse:

              The question with these new brands - are they going to hold up?

              Probably like every car brand here. Not well. Can't assume they'll be any better. But we shouldn't say they'll be any worse because none of the car companies are making a vehicle specifically for the Australian market. Unless it is something like a landcruiser/Prado. But they aren't bulletproof on the interior unless you look after them either.

              • King Tightarse on 01/10/2025 - 19:35

                @serpserpserp: The established companies do adjust paint and interior fabrics for cars destined for the Australian market. We get high UV additives to prevent breakdown and chalking of the paint. True for vinyl and interior surfaces too.
                When they don't, things go wrong quite quickly. I can still remember Ladas, Protons and early Hyundai (before they learned) driving around with shoddy paint within a few years. Some surprising Euros too.
                People don't tend to think much about it when the cars are in the showroom, all new and shiny but it can be a big deal later on.

        • xseta on 02/10/2025 - 09:36

          I would almost actually argue that the Chinese versions have even more features ahaha, the trend with chinese ev's and hybrids tends to be priced accordingly in mainland china.

          ADR/ADAS etc. are all costs for sure, but the justification of those costs and getting it here shouldn't double the price right?
          They are going to do the bare minimum for the design rules I think honestly, personally if I've got kids/fam in the car I'm more inclined to just go for a Japanese/Korean or Euro.

          There's a way of business in China where producing things cheaper is as normal, IP theft also normal, the government also don't tax the companies for export. But your company is technically at risk due to the ownership and legislation models, ownership of a company and it being private is an extremely grey area.

    You definitely want cooled / heated seats in an EV if you do longish drives.

        Petrol cars are only 30% efficient. Lots of byproducts (ie heat). So heaters on makes no difference to range.

        But an EV with an electric element for heating (ie first gen outlanders) chew 3kw to create heating. This can reduce range by 1/3rd.

      With that much leg room they should allow the back row seats to be adjustable by day 10cm forward so get more boot space. But then will cannibalise the sales of the C10 LOL

    On the surface, it's a great deal, no doubt, but the biggest issue in buying these new or unknown Chinese EV brands is how many of them will be around in 5 years from now?
    There are numerous reports, even from within China, that claim anywhere between 88% and 98% of them will be gone by 2030.

    'In July 2025, consultancy AlixPartners told Reuters that only 15 of 129 EV/plug-in-hybrid brands in China would be financially viable by 2030 → roughly 88% won’t make it.
    Reuters

    Much higher failure rates (≈95–99%) generally come from earlier “startup wave” predictions rather than today’s full market.'

    +1 for having a colour that is not blue, white, grey or black.

    Sure that other option is purple and looks like shit, but it's still an option.

    This may be the cheapest feeling car manufacturer website ive visited in a while. Doesnt inspire much confidence.

    Edit - their cars also generally look pretty good.
