Bigster is based on what?
I've given up hope on finding a normal, practical and relatively affordable family car as nobody makes them any more, and surrendered to the idea of an SUV. Thus the idea of a Bigster hybrid. It sort of fits. Af first glance, and short test drive, I could live with it.
I know Dacia PR has been going on for years how they use proven Renault/Nissan parts, but that's still a long way off Toyota quality no matter how you spin it and how much Toyota itself declined in past decade. I keep my cars for a long time.
The questions that I have is what other cars in the group share the hybrid drivetrain (or its variant) and the chassis/platform? What are the common issues with these cars?
A comment in another recent thread of the hybrid drivetrain collapsing within weeks doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
Toyota, Honda and some others have been evolving CVT hybrids for decades now and they're generally quite reliable, but Bigster seems to have something like a classic auto gearbox. How does that work long term?
