Double Coin DC100

Summer

Lowcost

Double Coin is a budget Chinese brand, and the DC100 is their first appearance in major European tests. The ride is surprisingly quiet and comfortable — but that's where the good news ends. Wet grip is dangerously inadequate, with sudden oversteer and braking distances that are outright alarming. Autobild's "not recommended" verdict is well earned.
