You may remember I sold my Audi E Tron GT at the end of August due to insurance cost (£3K) and also the RFT (£450). Incidentally it hasn't sold yet. I thought I would bid you all farewell and thank you for the info, and tips over the years I had Audis. I have just purchased a new Jeacoo J7 SHS Hybrid. It's not bad. Loads of goodies, 56 miles on electric, 700 miles total tank range, albeit I have only done 125 miles so far. It's good value, pretty good finish, but it is definitely not an Audi. Thanks for every thing.

I am not surprised Tony after all the trouble the Audi has given you.

Good luck for the future Tony. It’s was always a pleasure to hear from you, and thanks for updating us. 
Please don’t be a stranger just because you have bought the Jaecoo, in fact it would be very interesting to hear of your experiences with it.

Take care Tony.

Kind regards, Gareth. 

 

Thanks Gareth. Will keep in touch.

Tony

All ujr best for the future Tony. I don't blame you for changing brand. Please keep us updated on how you get on with the jaecoo as I'm sure others like me would be interested in your long term experience and review. 

Just an update.

Jeacoo going well, have now done 550 miles and it is averaging 60.5 mpg. I am getting 58 electric miles, even in this cold weather. It is an endearing car with lots of nice things about it, and of course there are things which are a bit, sort of err?  But, all this car for £30k, 7 years warranty and the main dealer just around the corner, it's not at all bad.

That's great to hear Tony. Hopefully the increasing trend in Chinese cars will help European manufacturers to reduce their prices and be more sensible with what they're charging. 

Before you bought it did you test drive other vehicles? If so how did it compare to others? 

What's the dealer experience like? 

Hi Steve

I test drove the Jeacoo and I felt it was exactly what I wanted. I was able to do a good deal with the dealer, got 2 years service contract, ceramic  bodywork coating, car mats all round including a boot mat and a holdall full of goodies, complete with a fire extinguisher, which was a bit disconcerting.  The dealer was amazing, tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits. They are definitely here to sell cars. 

Great to hear. Is read the reviews on them but nice to hear genuine owner experience. Hope it's going to be reliable long term 🙂
