I like mine, great bike for sensible money. Use it for everything from trail/XC rides to DH and enduro races, its not the fastest thing up hill or that light but it’ll get you back to the top.
I’ve one of the last V1s sold so getting on a bit, as said V1 and V2 are the same apart from the V2 has a bit more standover and stealth routing. V3 is a bit more refined/less agricultural with updated geometry, metric trunnion mount shock etc.
Mine has been butchered a bit, -2 angleset, offset bushes, coil shock and drilled for stealth dropper (roughly works out at 63HA) but apart from being a bit small (6ft on a large, no xl on v1 or v2) I think you’d struggle to beat it for the money. Theres a Facebook group with plenty of info about them, you should jump on that.
Where are you based? Welcome to try mine if local.
