Budget of £22k, Kona/Born vs Chinese options?
I've been preparing to make the leap for a while now and am finally in a position to - previously I was expecting to pay £20-23k for either a Hyundai Kona or Cupra Born, but recently I've been reading about some of the insane deals people have been getting on the new Chinese brands.
I'm not interested in the SUV size/shape vehicles, I can get on board with the crossover size/shape (Kona), but would prefer the lower/sportier option of the Born and would like the total length to be 4.2-4.4m (good interior space for transporting the odd large item, don't need rear passenger space).
I'd like 200+ miles in the battery from full (ideally, but not essential) and 0-60 in under 10s (ideally 8s), neither are deal breakers though.
My budget has some flex and all the better if it's a 0% finance deal, but I've saved the money to be able to buy outright... What deals have people picked up that fit my needs and how confident are you in the company when something inevitably goes wrong? (spare part timeline, difficulty of repair under warranty, courtesy car etc)
