I could not recommend Select enough and the amazing service I had from my consultant Shane Newton. Shane regularly updated me on progress of my new vehicle, and was always so helpful in answering any queries I had regarding my order throughout the whole process - no question was silly - he always responded promptly whether that be through email or phone call. I just received my new vehicle last week, and Shane was in contact right away to ensure the handover was seamless and that I was happy with my new vehicle! Needless to say I was very happy with the earlier than anticipated delivery - Christmas has came early! This is my second vehicle with Select and yet another excellent service. I could not fault anything and want to thank Shane once again for all of his help!

If you’ve never heard of BYD, you aren’t alone. But the Chinese company, whose initials stand for 'Build Your Dreams', is making inroads in Europe with a fleet of new electric cars. The latest addition to the range is the Dolphin, a family hatchback designed to compete at the budget end of the market, along with the MG4 EV and GWM Ora Funky Cat, as well as slightly more upmarket models such as the VW ID.3 and the Cupra Born.
In short, the Dolphin is competing with some pretty serious contenders, and it’s armed with more than just a charming name. BYD has a history of making batteries for other brands, including Tesla, and the company is already selling a sizable range of cars in Europe. In short, this isn’t an upstart brand – it’s a serious car company with serious know-how. The question is, will the Dolphin be good enough to offer serious competition?
