In EU, BYD is kinda good. My Atto3 has physical buttons for everything on top of the tablet for infotainment. So I don't need to touch a screen to turn off the radio, or to activate the basic functions of the car.
They also offer a good deal of warranty (250k KMs on the battery pack) and they have high rates in EuroNCAP.
They are affordable, compared to other EVs and I love their aesthetics.

I'm satisfied with it and recommend to anyone here.

Unfortunately, no one knows if BYDs will be reliable until 8 years from now.

Well, my warranty covers 8 years of the car so I guess I'm covered for those 8 years

I can't wait for BYD to come to Canada.

You won't get one, they are only allowing 50,000 Chinese EVs total from all manufacturers.
