Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?

No

Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?

Only if they upgrade the voice technology to use AI, it is hit and miss to get the car to understand what you want (eg aircon which takes many clicks to get to the menu so it would be so much easier to tell the car what you want but it only understands 50% of the time) and CarPlay connectivity (disconnects from your phone while navigating or listening to music, or sometimes just won’t connect when you start the car, have to ‘forget’ each device and start again)
