Not a lot all good

All good

The performance of the 155 hybrid engine is very unreliable.

Switching from EV to petrol is haphazard and unpredictable.

Gear changes are slow and as a consequence the engine consistently over revs.

If you put the fan on or turn the temperature up on the car the motor noise is unnecessarily excessive and the only solution is to turn the radio up, which then causes speaker vibration.

I predominantly drive the car with all safety features turned off / no fan and no heating to encourage EV mode to kick in ... so more often than not ime cold but at least it's quiet.

Acceleration is slow and the engine roars until the gear changes finally happens making access onto motorways a precarious often challenging task.

I was really looking forward to owning the bigster but truly dislike driving it and feel embarrassed when I have to have passengers in the car due to the poor performance.

Ultimately i regret buying the car and would encourage people to think carefully before purchasing

I always research a new car and felt the Bigster offered a fantastic choice in terms of value, spec and, I thought, quality.

Took delivery of the car and, despite the hybrid engine being rather gruff when the petrol engine kicks in, the look, overall drive and general build were good.

But the faults in the first month; an electric window stopped working, it leaked through both offside doors and the unlocking of the car was haphazard when it should unlock via the smart key and proximity sensor.

So a decision was made to reject it and I no longer have it.

The electronics are very poor. Sometimes when you go back to the car it cannot see the key and refuses to start even if I put it directly above the sensor. The car just locks up and refuses to allow it to drive. I wait 3 hours once, getting in and out the car. Locking and unlocking before it decided to clear the fault. This had happened several times including twice when our Nanny was doing the school run. The car will be sold as it is not fot for purpose.

Car has being in garage 2 and about to going for a 3rd time with faults relating to weather affecting how the car faults recur on days when the weather is inclement, don’t think I should only take my car out when the weather is good, nice car poor driving experience

Car broke down with in 3 weeks of ownership.

Smoke filled the cabin with my family inside due to a hybrid component failure. Left a very sour taste as the dealer was un able to fix and parts were hard to get a hold of.

Sent email to dealer on an urgent basis about switching off tracking as steering not in full control and teacking taking control when no vehicles in vicinity on motorway and within lines
