    It's a very crowded market boasting lots of tech, toys, turbos, driver aids, and moonroofs, all pulled by 1.5L engines and priced between 1.1M to 1.7M.

    Which one would you pick and why (list is as of July 2023)?

    1. Changan CS55 Plus
    2. Changan Uni-T
    3. Chery Tiggo 7 Pro
    4. Ford Territory
    5. GAC Emkoo
    6. GAC GS4
    7. Geely Azkarra
    8. GWM Haval H6
    9. Haima S7
    10. JAC S3
    11. Jetour Dashing
    12. Maxus D60
    13. MG HS
    14. MG RX5

    Personally, I wouldn't include the Territory sa list.

    Its a Ford and its locally backed by Ford's local network or dealers and service centers.

    If Toyota released a Vios na made in China, would you include it sa list?

    ***back to the thread***

    If I'm buying a "Chinese car" right now

    Geely - as its under Sojitz
    Maxus - as its under AC

    None.
    At least this is my way of not patronizing major chinese product.
    For not respecting our sovereignty.

    Medyo OT nga noh.

    Same. Plus I am loyal to Toyota. Even if I wanted another brand, I'm stuck with Toyota because the casa branch I go to has excellent service

    Same sentiment here. With vehicles at least you still have a choice unlike with other items where made in China is a foregone fact.

    Rather as not considering buying all Chinese cars as a whole,
    Why not just not buy those that are owned by the Chinese State? (SAIC, FAW, DongFeng, Changan)
    Since the reason is not respecting our sovereignty rather than the Chinese cars reliability, etc.

    Personally, i don't like Chinese cars because of the lack of long term reliability and resale value.
    What worries me is that These Chinese car manufacturers are switching to EV and since the Japanese, Europeans and US Electric Vehicles prices are way to high, i might be inclined to get a Chinese EV car in the future.

    I am not knowledgeable enough to know on whose manufacturers are state-owned and I won't waste my time to research this stuff.
    As long as they are Chinese, better to stay out of it.
    I am aware that almost all products we are using are from China, but at least cars are a major one and might make a dent/impact.

    I was afraid to buy China cars because of the reliability issue, but when Ford slapped it's name on it and sold it at a lower price than the Japs, I thought it was worth a gamble. Fortunately, I am near 3 years already and I have no major issues. Mahina lang AC nito.

    ... is the aircon uncomfortably mahina, especially in the hot noonday sun,
    or is it just mahina, for the sake of comparison?

    Anong unit po ito? At anong car yung mas malakas pa ang AC compare sa unit na yan?
    I asked this before kasi and never got an answer pa, if mahina ba talaga AC ng mga smaller displacement engine compare sa higher displacement engines.
    Example: Mahina AC ng Xpander compare sa Montero during noontime.

    Mahina ang AC ng Ford Territory 1st Gen compared to all our previous cars, mostly Civics. Kahit ung 10 year old Civic ko mas malamig ang buga kahit tirik ang araw. Parang hilaw ang lamig ng Territory and I did a thermometer test 9c lang sagad niya. From babad sa initan, mas mabilis din lumamig ang buga ng old car ko. Ung tipong in a few seconds ramdam mo malamig na ang buga. Sa territory akala mo nakapatay ang compressor, mahigit 3 minutes bago medyo lumamig ang buga.

    So parang related pa rin sa displacement engine.
    Not sure ano displacement ng 10 yr old Civic, nasa 1.8 ba yan or 2.0L na?
    Baka may makapag compare dito AC ng Xpander vs Territory (puro 1.5L displacement engine to).
    Nahihinaan ako sa AC ng Xpander din compare sa Montero.
    Baka malakas lang talaga AC ng mga higher displacement engine.
