[Music] Welcome back to the channel. I’m going to show you something outside now for our second day of ownership of it. Behind me is, as you well know, all the solar and the batteries. There you go. That helps fuel up the next thing I’ve bought. number two in the family and it belongs to the good lady wife. You saw it yesterday. So, let’s go and have a quick uh look at it. Bit more detailed. And there you go, the Aura 03. Now, I’m not going to I’m not going to call it a funky cat or a good cat or whatever you want to badge it as. See the color difference there on the green and blue? Aqua green I think it’s called, but in the sun it’s even bigger. You can see the green and the blue and the blue and the green. Brilliant color. The best color that these come in to be fair. So, let me just pan back a little here. It’s on the angle as you can see on the drive. Now, when we went to view this at availablecar.com, okay, calm down. I’ll get there in the end. There was a fair few things that we didn’t like for the price. So, they were very, very good and told us they’re going to do this, that, and the other. And 100% they kept their word. In fact, they went even better. There was something that’s been done to the car that we didn’t expect. And when they said they were going to put new, it needs new pads on the rear, which is quite shocking really for 11,000 miles, which is um a bit weird to me on an EV cuz normally the brakes last ages. So, whoever owned this last was very, very heavy on the brakes. It was a lady in Scotland, I believe. So, not only did they put on new pads, which I thought that’s all they were going to do. Brand new disc rotors, both sides, of course. bonus. So, let’s figure some costs out here, folks. Disrotors, pair fitted, pads, full set, rear fitted. You go into any garage now, anywhere in your local town, village, or whatever, and try and get them done. That’s going to hold you back around 250 to 300 quid in parts and labor. Now, if there’s a garage that’s watching this and say that they can do it any less, well, drop a note below because you’ll get some custom. Wouldn’t surprise me if some people charge 450 for that job for the time you put your VAT on. Let’s move on. Now, the other thing they said they were going to do was tires. There were two tires they weren’t very happy about. And I to be honest, I I hadn’t noticed them when I looked around it. Crow’s still having a go at me. So instead of just putting cheap Chinese tires on, you know, non-branded, which personally if I owned a garage and I was selling a car, that’s all I’d do. They went and put on these Bridgestones, two brand new Tanzas. Unbelievable. So they kept their word 110% if there’s such a thing. So well done again to available car. Um, sorry, available car. I took your sticker straight off when I got home for obvious reasons. There you go. Alloys. Something else that they said they were going to do and they’ve done. There was a few major graces on here. You can see where they buffed out. You can just still see a tiny bit. Oh, no, you can’t. It’s coming off. Look. Um, there was a few real bad grazes on one and on another. There was a couple. All four alloys now have been completely revamped and done and are lovely as new. It’s only where the cable put the tires back on. It’s more more than anything else. So yeah, brilliant. And there is also one other thing I found about the car which it didn’t have, but it now has that is locking wheel nuts. Didn’t have any. When we picked it up, there was a bag of four X old lug nuts. So there on there now is a full set of lockers which you know we didn’t think we’re getting the price available car put them on. Now I’m not going to say they’re going to do this with every car. So don’t think this is setting precedence here folks. It’s just that what we got and what we found that they did. So let’s have a quick look at the car. Okay, we got we ended up with two keys. One in a in an official um first edition case with key ring. very heavy. This is the lighter one. So, we’ve got two of these, which is great. I always like two keys with a car. So, let’s just get in. Now, there is two ways of getting in. You can either press obviously the open button, or you can just walk up. So, I won’t use this. Let’s just walk up and I’ll show you the animation you get on the screen. So, as soon as you come up to the door, it’s got these sensors. Okay. Put your hand in there. Look. Opens it up. grabbing with don’t forget the unit in my pocket. [Music] Rather nice, isn’t it? When you get in koi fish in your car. So there you go. That’s the first thing you see when you get in the aura. And then it will automatically turn to navigation. Navigation is not bad at all on this. We tried it yesterday. Very good for, you know, the the value of the car. Couldn’t knock it. Oh, this is Let me just load it up a bit more. There you go. Oh, this is quite, you know, touchy footy. It’s It’s not bad at all. I’ve I’ve seen a lot worse. There’s a real tiny little glitch, but I tell you what, for what it is, you you know, for the for the price of the car, that’s pretty good. I’ve seen a lot worse than that. In fact, Volkswagens were worse than that when they first came out on their ID3. Uh so we’ll move on. This is the basic interior as I sit in the driver’s seat. Um all these are they’re not, you know, haptic. You do actually have to literally press them. That obviously is the volume as you can see going up and down there. Look. Um yeah, there’s a lot to it. I don’t know really where to start. Um like I say, don’t mind this the shape and size of the steering wheel. Kind of suits it. I’d love to know why Great Wall Motors went for this emblem as their or it’s like an exclamation mark. Oh, you know, it is what it is. Here’s the car exclamation mark. I don’t know. Anyway, we’ll move on. Now, with any first edition, you do get this badge here. They are kind of pllopped on. So, I’ve seen some that are in the middle. I’ve seen some to the side. Anyway, that’s the first edition. That just means you get this lovely interior color um with pleated leather seat. Well, not leather, it’s faux leather seats. Um very nice to the touch, you know, and these are absolutely mint. There is not a sausage wrong with this car on the inside. As you can well see, everything is as it is proper as it should be and you know, not messed with. The lady who had it before obviously cared about the interior, not so much about the rear brakes, but heyo. Um, we’ll check the rear out in just a moment. Let’s stay in the front for now. So, front, typical glove box, and it’s a decent size actually that for a small car. I’m not going to say small car all the time because this is not as small as you know people think they are. This is the the size of this car is if I was going to put it into a bracket, I’d put it between a Polo and a Golf. Does that make sense? Not quite as big as a Volkswagen Golf or an ID3 or whatever, but it’s not as small, you know, as as you normally class a small car as. It’s a It’s a very weird little sector. This it’s like an in between car. So, staying with the interior, let’s just get this bit of the infotainment side out first. Press home and it will go to either your satnav or it can go to this. This has got routters.com uh as standard um dieser but you have to sign up for that. I’m not going to bother. Um simply do this to get to local radio. Um it says no stations found there. I locked a few in yesterday. Obviously didn’t save them. Um on FM again it’s the same. There you go. I’ve not done anything with that yet. So let’s move off that onto the app side. Just turn this down. You can actually, if you press this button here, shut it all off. Okay. This app button here will take you to a different screen to do your phone, which, you know, I’ve got the wife’s set up for this for obvious reasons. Let’s go back. Um, vehicle settings. This will allow you to do all the unlocking and the side mirrors. And when we got it, we found that the previous owner hadn’t put it in auto fold on the mirrors, which we couldn’t understand. Why would you not do that? Cuz unless you want them smashed off on the road. So, that’s something we’ve done. So, all this is very, you know, easy. It works pretty well. Um, lighting, for example. Again, you can do your delay and all that. It’s got some real nice bits. Uh, driving, this is where it all matters. Um, energy, obviously, it’s on stronger, but I must admit, the regen is not fantastic. It’s not one of those cars you go in and you think, “Whoa, blime me, this is slowing you down to get to that T junction.” No, you have to get used to it. The Genesis has three times the regen over this. I’ve got to say that. But we’re looking at a different I’m going to say it premium car. So, let’s move on. Next one. Uh, system settings. Again, all in there, your Bluetooth and everything else and blah blah blah and how you put it to your phone. I’m not going to go into massive details. Uh yeah, it has got 4G which you can see there. So it has got Wi-Fi in the vehicle. You can do all your navigation settings, your speech, your multimedia and all the rest of it here. And again, let’s go back. Um skill tree, right? Okay. This is a bit of a thing where if if you want to go into something and you can find it here, look, it will take you straight to the radio, for example, and tell you what it all does. Um Bluetooth, it just tells you what everything does around there. So, I don’t know why they called it skill tree. I haven’t put this on. It’s called autolearn. I have no idea what that’s going to do. Whatever. I think it’s the only because it’s trying to tell me I’ve only discovered 10% of what’s available in the car. Okay. Well, what we’ll do then, we’ll Okay. All points in the function tree will be expanded after opening. Do you want this to open? Confirm. Uh, let’s go back. Um, power assisted. This obviously tells you where you are battery wise. I did put it on charge last night. Um, charges at around 80 uh kilowatt um is the the quickest speed. It does say 100 on auto trader website and everything else, but no, it is 80. So, it’s now at 99%. It’s near enough full. I’ve done this to give it a full charge because as from tomorrow, folks, I am in dock major knee operation, a knee exchange as I call it. Anyway, that’s going to be painful. Not looking forward to that. uh charging management. This allows you to, you know, set it to 100% 9080. I do 100% on every car I own, no matter what the manufacturers tell me now, because I feel this 20 to 80 is now a load of bull. Would have been great years ago when these cars first come out, but the the uh management system on these now, the BMS doesn’t allow for that much difference over a 5year period that you’re going to own the car. So 100% to me every time I charge it. If I’m at home, if I’m on a charger, public, obviously I only put in what I need. Anyway, let’s move on. Gives you some driving tips here. How to be more, you know, efficient, whatever. Take the notes of those. Again, back to power flow again. Do that. Uh my account. I’m trying to set this up now. Um here’s me and the lady wife there. Um I’m going through a bit of a with that to try and set it up with the app. It is you can download an app. It’s not great, but it you can, you know, precondition your battery and you can do you can start the car before you get in it and all the rest of it. So, I’m trying to do that. So, bear with me on that. And if I get round it, I’ll do that as a little short maybe later. I’d be here all day if I showed you all everything that was happening with this. So, I’m not going to. So, that’s the basics of that. If you go and press the car button, this will take you into even more settings. Parking, you know, um, this is clever. This is pretty good. Um, this is how you can set the 2D and 3D. Put in 3D and do this. Look. Tell you what, how many cars do you know at this kind of value, at this kind of money can you do that with? Come on. And that is pretty sharp. That is outside my house, you know. And I bring it around to the front now. I can see my car there. Look, that’s next doors. Let me just put it around again. There’s my Genesis on the left hand side. And that’s a visitor’s car. So yeah, pretty pretty sharp that and pretty damn good for this value at this, you know, kind of premium or nonpremium rate. So really good. Cameras are pretty damn good. Anyway, let’s move off this screen. I’ve spent too much time. Let’s go over to this one. Just before I do, just say that these controls here on the left, which is clever, control everything on that left screen. These controls on the right do everything on the right screen. So, wow, someone’s actually made a bit of sense there. It will tell me my doors open and everything else. Yeah, you can see that. There is something that I don’t like about this vehicle straight away, especially this front screen. The fonts and these little things here are not great. They should have made them larger. And I’m really hoping for an overtheair update from uh Great Wall Motors cuz it can do that to make these fonts bigger. Not so bothered about the speed cuz you The key is in car. Yes, the key is in car. It’s in my pocket, love. Jeez, you get that all the time. Um, so yeah, let’s just show you what it does when you put it in to drive. This is very simple. Again, rotational knob. You can hear that as soon as I put me foot on the brake. So, foot on the brake. Straight into drive. So, we’re now in drive, D for drive. There it is at the top there. Look, again, small fonts. If you got great eyes is no bother, but my eyes ain’t great. But, heyo, they are what they are. So, it’s in D. R for reverse. Cameras will come on. And then simply when you want to stop the vehicle and make sure you’re okay, press it, it goes off. Now, there’s also a row of buttons down the bottom here which can actually turn the vehicle off. If you’re in the vehicle and you don’t want to be having all this on and using everything instead of just, you know, being there with it all on and you want to sit in it for a bit while you’re waiting for somebody, you can just press this button here. And if you just press that one single button, turns everything off. Okay. Now, it gives you this lovely start stop button here, but that doesn’t do anything. You can’t turn it back on with that. Don’t think you can. You have to put your foot on the brake. Okay. And then it will start up. So, the start stop button is Yeah, it don’t do anything. So, yeah, that’s the basics of the two screens. I’m not going to go into too much detail on this side. Um, it has got some excellent voice controls. Hello, Aura. What’s up? Open my window. Opening. Even knows I’m sitting in the driver’s seat and it’s opened the driver’s window. So, I’ll say it again. Hello, Aura. Yes, I’m here. Close my window. Closing driver area. Now, just to show that it’s even better than that, watch. Hello, Aura. I’m listening. I’m still here. Open all windows. All right, opening. All four have opened. Hello, Aura. I’m listening. Close all four windows. All right, closed. Now, when I tell you how much I paid for this car and to give you give you some more details, you’ll be amazed because of the tech it’s got. It kind of puts other cars to shame of the same age. And the warranty will will stun you as well. Now, before I move out of the cab, you’ve got USBs obviously at the bottom here. um 12volt socket which is going to be very interesting to use because I want to put the the wife’s um dash cam which is going on the front here up here to that. So I’m going to do that later on. Um all these vents by the way are movable and you know positionable. So that’s good. They they they do feel rather nice, you know, quite heavy they’re not loose and horrible. They are quite nice. So they will last a long time which again is great. Um very easy to use. Obviously, I think they’ve took this off the the Mini, which whatever. I’m not a Mini fan, but that is your And it all lights up. Rear heated window front. There you go. You can hear it come on straight away. That in turn brings your air con on if if need be. If you got your setting to a lower setting here. Uh and then this one here is a simple onoff for everything to do with your heating. So, if you don’t want any heating on whatsoever and you want to save a bit of power, range, should I say, have that off. So, that’s a useful little thing. Um, and again, again, let me just turn these off. Again, that they are really nice to touch and feel, you know, that they are there. They’re solid. They’re straight away. They’re instant and they feel real nice. So, yeah. I mean, all right. These are a bit cheaper, but they down them down there. Great. No problem. Uh before I go, it has got obviously, let me just turn the wheel there. It’s got auto lights as standard. Um you’ve got your distance setting here for your cruise control. And then on this side, you’ve got auto wipers. Uh on the doors themselves on this side, you’ve got full for both sides, both mirrors you can adjust. You’ve got four um window switches. So again, nice little finish, you know, not bad. Bit of hard plastics down the bottom, but I’ve always said this about electric cars on most cars, not just EVs. Once you get to there, the rest is plastic. They’ve got to keep the cost down. So yeah, overall very nice interior. Can’t knock it. See that thing there? Yeah, some people will get annoyed by that as I’m going along or as my wife is going along. If she yawns two or three times within a minute, it will come up on the dash saying, “Would you like to take a break?” That kind of thing. It will alert you that you may be tired to drive. If you are going along and you are driving the thing, and I might take you down the road in a minute just to explain and show you this. Um, it is very sensitive on being in the middle of the road. Um, and if if that, for example, again, he’s looking at your eyes all the time in your face. So, it’s biometrics. Now, there’s probably a a guy in China looking at me. So, hello. How you doing, mate? Hello. I don’t give a monkeys. Some people say that they do. Wow. Why would they bother looking at good old me? Um, yeah. Biometrics. So, as you’re going along, um, you’ll find that if you take your, uh, face away from the driving position and do this for a length of time or start looking this or start looking down here, you’ll find that that will again alert you on the screen. and and you know by by word you will hear it by sound. So yeah, that’s going to annoy a few people who buy these cars, but I think it’s all part and parcel of the very very good safety features this thing’s got. The list is endless. Anyway, let’s get out the front and go to the rear. Can’t get in the rear door because this check the key is in car. Yes, it’s out here. Please check the key is in car. It’s not. It’s with me cuz I got the door open. Please check the key is in half. When I first get in this, please check in and use that instead of this. If I press this twice, it’ll open all four doors. Press it once, it will only open the driver’s door. It’s the same as that sensor. Use the sensor and it will only open the driver’s door. Now, to turn this off, all I have to do is that didn’t even touch this at all. Just the sensor behind here. There we go. It worked again. Well, so I’m going to just twitch that sensor and it will lock it all. There you go. Anyway, let’s get in the back. So, as you can see, the back is as nice as the front. Absolutely mint. All like pleated and lovely. The stitching’s excellent. You know, this is I’m I’m sorry, but anyone calling Chinese cars don’t even don’t just know what they’re talking about. This finish in here is as good, and I hate to say it, it’s nearly as good as that 64,000 car out there on the interior. Now, it’s not anywhere near as quiet when you’re driving, obviously, but the finish and, you know, and the way it’s all been put together, it’s very nice. You have got a USB in the rear, of course. Please in the back of the pockets and these all fall down 60 um sorry about looks. Yeah, 60 I’m going to say 6040. Uh so yeah, that’s the rear done. So yeah, nice place to be. Let me just show you the head room in here. I’ve got that set to drive. Okay, so if I’ve got that set to drive, I can put me feet underneath quite successfully. I’ve got plenty of knee room and if I just spin you around, head room. Look at that. loads very spacious in the rear of this car. Let me shut the door. And as you can see, it’s nice and bright. This is not the brightest day. It’s quite dull outside, actually. But in here, yeah, it’s a nice place to be. I wouldn’t mind being in this on a long journey at all as a rear passenger. Very pleasant. There are a lot more cars in this sector and at this price range and more expensive with nowhere near the room this has got in the back. Could you fit three people in? This belt’s for three. I think you could. Three adults might be a bit, you know, tight and a long journey, but four people in this car. I’m not saying you’re traveling in luxury, but yeah, pretty damn good. Forgot to mention above front you have actually got a sunglasses compartment thing. You bring it down. Let me show you this center console from here. Again, it’s all automatic brakes. Again, something else I forgot to mention. Although, it has got this here. If you’re on a bit of an incline for a long time, you can press that and it’s like automatic brake release. So, you’re not messing about when you touch it again, but that will lock your brakes on say a a real steep hill or something uh if you’re in traffic, you know, save you messing about keeping your foot on the brake or being over cautious. So, just another thing. It did. It did come with first edition mats. You can just see the first written on there. Look. So, yep. Still got the first edition mats. And that’s how it looks from here into the front. Now, let’s have a look at one of its small downfalls. Now, this can open from inside. It’s not automatic, but it can you can open that from the inside. This is where it fails a tiny bit. You’ve got a a fair bit of a drop off there. Look, as you can see, and it’s because these are molded this way as well. You do lose a bit of space. That just flops up out the way. Don’t even know why they bothered with that. Seats go down flat, obviously. But, you know, this again, plenty of space for uh probably one large suitcase and a a small one on top, a couple handbaggage, and on a daily basis or a weekly basis to go shopping. Plenty of space in there. But I’ll put it up on the screen there. the literage capacity of the trunk. That’s that side of it. Tiny bit of a negative. And underneath, you got a bit of space for your cable, first aid kit, and whatever else you need if you break down or get a flat. So, yeah, at least they’re out the way. Did come with a granny charger as well. Brand new, never used. Um, like I say, this is not automatic, but it is on the 25spec, not on this one. Alloy wheels. It’s based on 18in alloy wheels. Nice white top like they used to do with minis. You can get that in black as well, but uh I prefer the white up against this color. Now, let me show you this these lights here. What they do front and rear. Again, it’s a little ditty that you get with this vehicle at this price range. Let me show you. Okay, we’ll start with the rear lights first. All I’m going to do is as if I was opening the car. There you go. A rear brake dance on the LEDs. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. So, you’re getting in the car. They go around. They dance. And in the indicators, it’s a good thing. It shows that everything’s still working. So, let me just lock that. When you lock it, you get the big amber turn signals which are huge on the front of this. Very bright, real good lights. Uh had them on last night for the first time. Let me just show you that again close up to one of the lights. Here we go. Let me just open it again. This is the same on both sides. Something different yet again from what is called the funky cat or the good cat outside the UK. Now, the first 50 of these that came across were badged as Funky Cat. I’ve not seen any with the badge on to be honest. Um, they’ve all had the same. They all all just said aura and Gwall Motors at the bottom. Certain countries are called the good cat. Don’t ask why. I have no idea. But I do believe it might have affected sales when they first came in. So, let’s get back in cuz it’s a bit cool. My knee’s hurting today. And just to put you in the picture, the last day of having a normal knee. I’m going to have a big scar from here all the way down to about there and be in pain for the next four to five weeks. Lovely. Anyway, let’s move on. Get this door shut again. Listen. Real solid smash of the door. Boom. [Music] Well, there’s the reversing lights. very bright LEDs if you get near them. Anyway, I’m getting in. Well, here we are driving the thing. I’ve not got my belt on. So, that’s number one to learn that if you don’t have your belt on, folks, you’re going to get a beeping. Very quiet inside the cab for a car of this price. Obviously, obviously not as quiet as the uh Genesis. It’s a different thing, but uh as you can see, sat navs on. I know you’ll see color differences in this because of the flow rate of picture. Um, and you can see speed limits on there and you can see it quite well. It’s about the same size as the Tesla was to be fair. And again, it’s in D for drive obviously. So, all pretty normal stuff. The indicators are very touchy. They don’t clip or click. They just you just touch them on the arm and they’re very loud so you know they’re on. The car will crawl forward if you take your foot off the brakes. This is something else that Debris had to get used to. Some say that the clicky click click clock clip is very loud, but I’d sooner know that it’s actually on turn signal, especially with this stalk the way it is because like I say, when you press it down or up, it isn’t like click and click back up. It’s on a sensor, a little tiny electronic sensor. Um, we haven’t set it up yet for speed limit warnings, I don’t think. Um, this road is notorious for speed cameras. This is called the Alamos Road here in And there’s always, or I say always, it’s very notorious for a 30 mph camera to be down here. We’ve not tried this. We’re now doing 29. I can’t see any cameras down at the moment, but it makes you wonder if it’s set to beep or whatever after 30 mph. I did try setting it up yesterday. I might have to have a look at that. But it can do that. And it picks up the speed limit camera, the um the speed signs 30, 40, 50 on the side of the road. It’s not showing any. No, it’s not showing any at the moment, is it? On the dash. I don’t know why, but uh yeah, we might try that on a on a bit of a quicker road. Okay, I’ve just had a play with certain things because we’ve noted that when Deborah’s driving it, although she’s probably a better driver than me for keeping in the middle, the white lane assist noise isn’t working well. I had it on low volume. So, I’ve just turned that up. So, we’re going to have a a go now on the way back and see if it picks up any beeps when she gets near a white line. Right, let’s see if it makes the noise now. When she goes near a white line, you’ll feel the steering wheel actually pull you back when you do. Actually, the note behind you now. Just go to that one. Pulled you back. Yeah, you felt it. Yeah. Yeah. It’s not severe. It just just kind of like, hey, whoa, you shouldn’t be there. Just knocked you back. Yeah. Saying what you doing cuz you’re not indicating to pull out. Yeah, exactly. If you was indicating, it wouldn’t do that. Yeah. Put the turn signals on. So, that shows that works. She’s good. I get some facts and figures now for you. This brand new, depending on where you bought it from, I’m going to say 33K. When this first hit um the UK in concept format, Great Wall Motors were saying that they could possibly get it across here, sell it as a first edition like this for 25,000. That never ever happened because I think they realized by the time that they’d evaluated all these extras and put all this in even in for for a China car, it made it a bit more expensive plus the taxes, plus the import charges and everything else at that time, two years ago. Um, this car is exactly 2 years and 3 weeks old. Let’s say it’s 2 years old just right. This car at that price range came with a 5year vehicle warranty. Now that’s standard. 5 years people for the whole vehicle. Not including, you know, wear and tear, but everything that could go wrong, the electric system, anything, anything with the car, steering, you name it, they would put right. um which I find brilliant at this price point and for what you get for your money. This was a fraction under 12k used. Now I want you to comment below because if you can tell me one other car that you can get with this kind of build quality and exceptional interior, okay, all the safety equipment this has got and it’s got a lot, trust me. So, you’ve got the range, the spec of this thing, which is enormous, all the safety features, the warranty, and I’ve walked away with just under a 3year warranty on this for under 12K, 11,000 mi on the clock. So, the warranty is good for 100,000 mi or first 5 years. Battery warranty goes to the normal 8 with your electric motors. So, comment below if you can name one car in the EV sector for under 12K that can give you all this and get five adults in it, you know. And yeah, I I can’t think of one. I can’t think of one with this kind of spec. If you can comment, how would you feel about buying one brand new? Would you buy a Chinese car brand new? And if you have done at your own cash, how do you feel a year down the road or 6 months down the road? Do you feel that you got the quality that was promised? Do you feel that you have matched legacy car owners in the the finish and everything else? Cuz this does 100%. You know, I can sit in any Stellantis car and have wobbly switches or bad trim and all the rest of it and as much plastic as this has got. But yeah. Yeah. 2-year-old. Come on. It is what it is. I’m not singing I’m not going to sing praises of joy over it because it’s it’s going to have its issues. There’s no two ways about it and there is a few things already that I thinking okay they could have done better there. Now just to come to towards the end of this little review I’m doing for this. I will do another one uh when I’ve when I’m back on song and this knee is repaired. Allow me nearly maybe two months down the road and I will do a an owner’s review of this thing and tell you then how I feel. Because the idea of buying this for the wife was that she wouldn’t drive the Genesis. Too big, too much money. Even now at this 12k barrier, she didn’t want to pay that for for a car. But anyway, I’ve had me saying so she’s happy now. So um she this is what she’s got. Um live with it. A couple of things that I’ve found already and that is that like I say, I feel that the the icons on the screens are a bit small. Not all of them, just some of them. I’ll get used to that. I’ll get used to that. The second thing is I I find it very surprising how the rear brakes needed repairing for a vehicle with only 11,400 miles on the clock, especially an EV. That is very, very rare. So, that might be one of its weaknesses. You know, it’s braking. Uh, does it use the rear brakes a lot more than the front? I don’t know. Has it been because the rear brakes have been sticking on and the lady who owned it wasn’t really sure why or it was even happening? I don’t know. Anyway, that’s it. Um, it was just a quick review just to show you what we’ve bought as our second car. The Aura Funky Cat. I’m out of here. I’ve had enough. I’m going to sell a coffee. Catch you all later. Subscribe. Nearly forgot. Bye. [Music]
