My son had a BYD Shark for two weeks to evaluate it for their fleet at work. They are a very nice piece of kit. We have added it to our short list.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

An area of concern I have regarding BYD is the extent of their dealer network it seems somewhat small. For example there is nothing north Auckland and the dealership spread in Te Waipounamu (South Island) is very thin on the ground.

off the top of my head, Keith Andrews in Whangarei is a BYD dealer.

hmm not thought of that before. all i know is their cars don't break ... you really have nothing to worry about. but you do what's best for you.
