BYD and other Chinese manufacturers have been throwing their money around getting influencers to do 'favourable reviews'.
I get the impression they know their products do not stack up against the legacy manufacturers so they need to buy people off.
It will be interesting in a few years if cheap components / metal / plastics / poor software all come into play and they all start falling apart we shall see

Nah

I can't tell if you're talking about the Chinese version or JLR's new vehicles...
I'm VERY wary of the long term life of new Chinese cars... but no more wary than anything new from JLR, anyway.

Nah
I hate the new Defender less than at launch but still not my thing, it's a Discovery, too plush and soft.
I wouldn't say no to one

We deal with China, taking them to court is pointless, they make it up as they go along
