Unfortunately the IM5 doesn't have any buttons either, although it does have a couple of stalks - one for indicators etc and I believe the other is for cruise control functions.

I'm just going to point out that was an Australian point of view where distances are more relevant than in China - or the UK.

Where did you see that the MBUK IM5 will be "stripped out"? Would honestly like to know, as the IM5 is on my list of cars to replace my existing vehicle. Other than changing the yoke style steering wheel to something more conventional, what other differences are there between the Chinese IM L5...

I'll reserve judgement until my test drive and then make my own mind up about that. The only thing that's settled so far for me is the fuel choice! Oh, that and my budget of...

What a bad tempered review! He obviously went into that "test" with an "I hate Chinese electric cars" attitude from the start! How come he's the only one to find fault with the ride quality? Sensitive backside I wonder? I want a test drive even more now!
