  Hello from the Netherlands. Another confused buyer! I visited the exhibition yesterday. It is the first time I can fit in the back seats while I have adjusted the driving seat for my height. Height 1.87m. I can fit perfectly. This is the VFM of the VFM. Next week is the test drive. I think I will buy it soon. Totally agree with you. Skeptic for the rear wiper but with all these cameras maybe is not necessary. The infotainment is to the point as well. Also the tires I checked it is with the Hankook! Good Korean brand. Also 5stars at the crash test! IMPORTANT to mention!!!!

  For the assistant I found that you just have to simplify your commands: “turn on my seat heating” - it does have the ability to discern whether the driver or passenger speaks, so you can say stuff like “open MY window”, it also works for lighting so you can turn on fog lights and such. I personally haven’t had much trouble with it, works about 9 out of 10 times for me.

  I think you guys are spot on, £ for £ the B10 is one of the best EVs out there!<br><br>Indeed, Stellantis are so impressed that they&apos;ve asked Leapmotor to make a version for Vauxhall/Opel! <br><br>It&apos;s just a shame that the Chinese don&apos;t seem to like rear windscreen wipers....

  In Sport Mode, 0-60 is between 6.4 and 6.5 seconds. Measured it quite a few times. A lot of Chinese cars claim 8 seconds, so maybe this is a regulatory thing in China? I agree with the ADAS features (like Lane Keep Assist), I switch them off as they are too severe, and I have a routine setup for the shortcut/favourite button to switch as much of that off as I can. Black orbital wheel covers and blacked decals, on the purple looks great. Nexen all season tyres. The quality of the video recorded is OK, but you cannot read number plates, and at night it is poor. No car park &apos;sentinel&apos; mode either (it would need a radar sensor which it does not have). I have added a 4 way night dashcam with radar. The tiny frunk does at least give access to the 12V battery.<br><br>In China a full width frunk is available (for LHD only). Agree with the light trim, it does show marks. We have the dark grey, a much better choice. In China they have a purple interior as well. I am getting about 285 miles on full battery (4.1-4.2 m/kWh). I thought blue was standard (maybe they changed that since we ordered ours)? Our dealer was doing a free colour option week, so we got the purple at no extra charge. Many options you have to park (with handbrake on) the car first to change, I do not like that. I also do not like that the one pedal mode is in a different screen to the regen settings and that it locks out the driving settings. In my mind it should be with those (as the highest regen as such) settings and not lock you out. That might be because China is introducing a one pedal mode ban for 2027, for safety reasons (too many crashes).<br><br>Fastest charging speed I have seen is 175kWh. Fast boot mode (new mode that came with the last OTA) has a bug that causes the radio to switch on (from pause to play) randomly when the car is locked (like in the middle of the night), so I turn the media volume to 0 when locking the car (you can make a routine to do this for you). The horn beeps when the car is locked (called lock chimes), you can turn that off, thank goodness. We got a great lease deal on a salary sacrifice. Icons on main screen are too small, as is the font and the icons on the driving screen. There should be an option to change the sizes of these. There should also be a &apos;turn all bongs off&apos; setting.<br><br>I love that, when you are parking, not only does the car image flash orange or red in the corner(s) that are getting close, but the dash mood lighting does the same. I set the favorite double click to switch on the front camera, and, like all EVs, best to have a dehumidifier bag on the dash. The wireless charger pad is not good. It barely charges a phone, and overheats alarmingly. Do I miss a rear wiper? The rear window is very small, and blocked by the rear headrests, so isn&apos;t much use anyway. Having driven trucks and vans a lot, I am used to having no rear view anyway, using my side mirrors. To be honest, the B10 really doesn&apos;t need the rear view mirror, as it is pretty useless.<br><br>This is a full pothole mode car, for sure.

  Hi Adam, how do you put up with Ollie?😂😂. Excellent review! Would love to have heard the sound system and a word or two on the speakers, particularly the rear speakers. How well do they work? Also, seems the seat belts aren&apos;t height adjustable? How does that work if you&apos;re taller or shorter?

  When giving voice commands avoid saying things like ‘Can you do this please’. Just use the key word without the waffle😜

  I’ve had mine 2 months and it’s a great car, I don’t do many motorway trips so all good with the range, however, I did do a 100 mile motorway trip at the weekend and was disappointed with the 2.6kw efficiency I got. All in all a great car for the money though 👍

  It would be good to have some night driving included and review on the headlights. We are waiting for ours currently
