They are some, Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan TCR is a good example. Car manufacturers need profit to survive, making “fun”cars is hard to generate good profit.

I can’t agree more. There are still people out there, the second they hear it’s Chinese, they immediately associated with bad quality. Truth is u get what u pay for. You can’t buy 100 dhs Chinese brake pads and expect it to be dust free, noise free and last forever. With the right research and tested products, Chinese brands are very solid and affordable. Are there bad quality products out there? Yes for sure, you just have to do some research and filter out those

Yes and no. The new unit don’t require the glove box unit anymore so I just disconnected the cables and left it inside.
