This car is awesome! The sound of the V 10 and acceleration is the best I’ve experienced. I think the car is missing safety features such a s blind spot monitoring. A price such as this vehicle, it definitely should have it. The wireless charger is not sufficient, it’s only for a smaller phone. The last thing is by the virtual dashboard being for the driver, when reversing, the steering wheel will block the screen. Overall, this car is a 9.5 and I’m glad I purchased it!Jan 26, 2023
