Chinese car worth owning

[Gerbo]

From among the substantial number of China-brand cars in the local market, which one (i.e. specific model) somehow got your attention and deserve a chance?

none. I'd rather buy a second hand japanese/korean (Hyundai/KIA) car.

The only one I'd trust is the Haima Family II... and that's only because it's made on the same production lines with parts from the same suppliers that did the Mazda Familia / Ford Lynx in China a few years back.

The Haima Freema is a wait-and-see... the interior isn't actually as nice as the Family II, and it only comes in automatic. I don't trust old Mazda automatics.

The Tiggo? Meh. Hover? Double. The Chery QQ also uses parts from suppliers that made parts for the original Daewoo Matiz... but the Matiz wasn't a great car to begin with... just a small car... I'd rather get the Alto, instead, as it has better engines.

Ironic, isn't it? The only really good Chinese cars locally are only good because they're licensed copies (down to suppliers, tooling and technology) of Japanese cars.

Caught my attention ? Hover. Coolbear.

Got my trust ? Ehrr. None, still. :hysterical: I`d rather get a 2nd hand vehicle in which it's condition is top-notch.

I can buy ? Haima, nothing else.

But still, let's wait & see.

rockiee_s is an owner of a Coolbear. Unfortunately ... he's out of the country and he haven't got hold of his unit yet. Lets wait for his review when he gets back at June. ;)
