Very comfortable car to drive, easy to get in and out of, feels safer sitting higher up, nice design. Feels good now but we'll see how it is in the winter.

I've done 6,000 km and I'm delighted. I haven't tried other EVs, but I'm thrilled with the BYD Atto 2. It's true I don't go on long trips — I do everything in the city and nearby, about 100 to 150 km a day — and honestly it's been great in every way. When I hit 300,000 km I'll tell you again. Haha
