Hyundai EON vs Geely LC

[zap.FREEDOM]

so far, we have a good experience about China Cars (but still we are not fully satisfied for the China brands unlike the satisfaction of Japanese and Korean car brand can offer, iba pa rin talaga ang tibay ng Japan at technology and features ng Korea), one of my friends own a Chery QQ311 M/T, clocks already 80,+++ kms. and it still have 2 years warranty left. Matulin din manakbo, so fuel efficient harnessing 15km/L for city driving and 20km/L for hi-way, some flaws encounter are: interior especially the dashboard halatang di maganda ang pagkakagawa, medyo "LAGLAG" but still kapit at naglolock pa naman yung glove compartment, its CASA: poor customer service, gas tank cover latch bali agad yung wire, it is China so sometimes we feel that we are bullied by other drivers owning those popular brands,

Geely LC, so far I'm not yet still familiar on this. Even reviews, wala pa akong naririnig na reviews dito, so my advice is settle for a city car from a popular/trusted brand that you always see rolling in the metro .

why not research for other brand also like Suzuki Celerio or Alto K10, Chevy Spark or Kia Picanto.

If it's the Geely LC vs the Hyundai EON, I would take the EON on any day. You get a better quality car by choosing Hyundai as compared to Geely at this point in time.

stay away from chinese cars. even in china, they prefer japanese, american and korean cars over chinese cars.

Interior quality of the Eon and Geely are about the same, really... the Geely LC is pretty decent for a Chinese car, especially compared to cars like the Benni and the QQ.

The Hyundai Eon is made in India, right? The interior looks plasticky and budget-conscious. 800cc inline 3 engine also sounds rather dismal as compared to the Geely's 1.3L inline 4. Considering the small size, the 86hp engine should make the Geely rather lightfooted. In the end it will boil down to whether the TS would value Hyundai's wider dealer network or Geely's apparent bang for the buck.

Yeah... plasticky... but you oughta see the other guy... ...it's built to fight the Alto, which is also bare on the inside.

Geely interiors are really surprising, but it's still not the best plastic in the world, the engine is a bit coarse and the shifter is just as loose as most cars in this class. I think it will come down to whether the buyer values toys and looks or fuel economy. The Geely's 1.3 is decent in terms of economy, but the Eon, being rated as Alto-level in Indian economy testing, should be spectacular.
