Jaecoo 6 Electric - Questionable reviews on SGCarMart
Upon seeing that this car has more than 200 positive reviews when others have normally no more than a handful, anyone will have questions about the authenticity of the reviews. This campaign by the dealer or it's marketing team, wasn't well thought through. It is probably counter productive and casts doubts in minds of people more than if there was no campaign to solicit positive reviews.... Read More
Proton e.MAS 7 Electric - An Almost Perfect Car
e.Mas 7 is my first EV car, so these are my personal thoughts from a ICE driver.
This is an almost perfect car. It offers a smooth and comfortable ride. The audio system comprising of 14 speakers are excellent. The last 2 speakers on the headrest are for phone calls and Siri (if you are using wireless CarPlay). There are plenty of storage places, typical of all EVs nowadays. Other features worth mentioning: head up display, ventilated seats, large screen, wireless CarPlay, memory seats for driver, power tailgate.
But the biggest let down is the Flyme Auto Operating System. Each time when I enter the car, I have to engage to Drive, then turn off the lane keep assist, off the speed warning, and switch to Auto regen. Once you power down the car, all these settings are back to default values.
Furthermore, when the car is below 30km/h, it emits an ice cream van music to warn pedestrians. There is NO option to turn this off. The music just drives me mad.
If you watch the YouTube reviews of eMas 7 in Malaysia, the ice cream van music is the biggest compliant of all Malaysian drivers. For them, they have the option now to turn it off after the OS update. But it seems that this feature is not available for SG owners.
So, all new buyers who are thinking of getting eMas 7 or 5, besides test driving the car, please try the OS for a few minutes. Adjust your settings, power off the car, and check whether your settings are saved. If not, this means you have adjust your preferred settings every time before you drive for the next 365 days a year.
If VINCAR is reading this, please fixed the Flyme Auto OS!!!... Read More
