Geely EX5 Owners - As good as it seems?

I'm very close to pulling the trigger after a test drive today, and I'd rather hear from people living with the car than read another review.

The common gripes didn't bother me. Not the most engaging drive, not the fastest charging. Both fair, neither an issue for me. The drive was acceptable, and I don't often do long journeys, so fast charging matters a few times a year at most.

The positives were better than I expected. The cabin genuinely feels luxurious and leaps above anything else I've seen in an EV. The software is the second best I've used, behind only Tesla. And every new car seems to have incessant bings and bongs, but being able to disable them with a single button via Shortcuts was executed really well.

What I'd like to know:

  • If you've had one a while, are you still happy with it?
  • What are the annoyances you can only really know after living with it?
  • Any other downsides?

I'd be buying cash, not leasing. For the price, what you get seems unbeatable. What's the catch?
