  1. More Chinese junk from Geely owned Volvo.

  2.  @jaronyuriyh7931  Yup you are spot on about Mercedes - only one I'd own is an old one!

  3.  @helicopterin  Good point.

  4. I wouldn't worry about the run-in period - it's an Audi, it's not going to last more than 100,000 miles before it's mechanically totaled anyway - even if it's babied constantly the repairs will eventually become more than the car is worth before the core engine components are worn out.

  5. And when everyone is super - nobody will be!

  6.  @shroomyesc  Maybe, time will tell - I think right at this moment though, new EV startups are pretty much doomed unless they have many years of capitol to burn through and very patient investors. Even global mega giants like Geeley are turning massive losses on EV's at the moment.

  7. How about the fact that it's Chinese, by Geely, and will no doubt be in the junk heap in 6 or 7 years.

  8. Basically TLDW - all 3 of them are a bit shit in varying ways, particularly considering how expensive they are.

  9. But the BMW lost? Poorer engineering tolerances means less heat when there is no lubrication - that's the only reason the BMW kept running - because it's poorly machined - that's also why BMW V8's use a lot of oil and Toyota V8's do not.

  10.  @ndositwechizimbi7299  Keep being a fanboy - anyone with an engineering background knows that if you starve an engine of oil, if it has finer engineering tolerances, it will heat up and seize up quicker - so this just proves the BMW is more poorly engineered than the Toyota.

  11. -1,000,000 - more Chinese crap from Geely.

  12. A lot of them are made in Alabama apparently - not sure if that's true for the UK models though.

  13. This is not an experiment in any way, shape or form - no controls, no measurements etc - and in fact I'd say the "result" favors the Toyota engine, since an engine with finer tolerances will overheat and bind up more quickly than an engine with lower tolerances, when starved of lubricant - so perhaps shows the BMW's tolerances are poor - which, well everyone knows the S62 consumes oil like a motherfucker, whereas the UZ does not...
