[likot]

Ilan na kaya ang bumili nito?

These are the Facts:

Your Total Time owning a Great Wall Car: 0 hours
Time Since Great Wall opened its store: 4 months
Durability Track record: Zero
Availabilty of Parts in the country: Negligible

You are a Guinea Pig for GW cars whether you like it or not. Don't be in DENIAL.

If things go Bad, it's your money, not ours.

If GW should leave the country bec. of Poor Sales, it's your problem, not ours

Why do some people relish in shoving to other people's faces their cynic opinions?

The facts presented are true.

Buying from a newcomer brand is a very high risk venture- hence the term Guinea Pig. Ask the owners of Fiat, Renault, Peugeot and other orphan brands how hard it is to get parts and service.

That's the reality one should understand before parting with your hard-earned money.

i dont consider myself a guinea pig. because it has been proven for so many years already..maybe not there in the philippines but somewhere else. making it new to the philippines does not mean, it is still in the experimental stage.

if and when they leave our country, it will still not be a problem because i am based in china. i can easily get the spare parts and bring it there.

yah i think there should be more risk-takers here like rockiee_s. bili na kasi kayo ng great wall.

i still remember the day when hyundai was struggling to sell the CRDI Hyundai Matrix at less than 500K

eh ngaun, tignan nyo CRDi ang talk of the town.

Todo ang GW sa Autoshow ngayon ah...

Pinalilibutan yung Hover at Coolbear.



Comment ng sales rep may matic na daw na Coolbear. P760K++ nga lang

[Newcomer123]

Eto naman yung Peri:



Cute rin naman. Mahusay talaga ang workmanship kumpara sa ibang china car

[eggman]

CVT yata yang Coolbear nayan!

Maganda rin naman ang Great Wall cars!

[LeOxe]

i really like great wall cars especially the cool bear.
hoping to see more of gw's cars on philippine roads.

[rockiee_s]

hi guys. di pa dumating ang unit ko na coolbear a/t. kasi 3 units lang ang dumating and all are color silver. i ordered for the cosmic blue.

dun sa marunong sa cars, here is the picture of the coolbear with 6 speed cvt with manual mode. this will be the first time i will be using this.

any comments? ok ba yun? i've read na fuel efficient yun.

good or bad will be highly appreciated.

I've seen several Chinese vehicles too in MIAS. GW products are some of them. Ang titigas ng pintuan nila, parang pag binubuksan ko you can see the cheapness of their products.

Tapos parang nakakailang hawakan, i-bang at kung anu-ano pa sa pintuan. Parang masisira din.

Their exterior DESIGN is okay, but I still find their quality questionable.

I'm not a Chinese vehicle hater. I find their designs great. They just need some improving in their quality and makes better though. That's all they need, and they'll surely succeed.

[rockiee_s]

talaga? kasi yun ang isa sa mga unang tinitingnan ko when buying a car. and the cars they have in their North Edsa showroom, ok lahat. i tried the doors of florid, cowry, wingle and the coolbear. harap, likod pati ang trunk and all were perfectly closing or opening.

Kulang pa the Quality level of the Chinese cars at the MIAS carshow. Give it a few more years.

Okay naman lately ang quality ng Great Wall cars..

Sa designs nila eh medyo di parin orig pero the next batch of GW cars eh original ang designs nila.

Wala akong sinabing mahirap buksan o isara ang pintuan. Ang sinabi ko lang eh, ang titigas ng pintuan nila .... try to compare it sa mga jap vehicles or korean vehicles and you'll know what I mean.

Matigas siya tapos ang nipis pa ng metal na ginamit.

Lahat ng chinese vehicles, ganun. Kaya tignan mo rating nila sa crash test ... poor.

I guess when it comes to China-made, there are early adapters like rockiee_s, and there are the skeptics, like many of us. In the old days our fathers and grandfathers looked at Japanese cars with suspicion. Small and ugly compared to German and American-made.

In the late 80's it was our turn to doubt the quality and reliability of Korean. Now, Korean brands are giving the Japanese a run for their yen, and it's the US brands that are having trouble.

IMO, China cars are in the birthing stage. Kaya ang dami pang clones. Cheap ones at that. The manufacturers with a vision for better quality, dependability and originality will flourish while the ones that believe in cloning and staying cheap will flounder or even die.

Me? I'm at wait and see stage. I will wait for the Chinese car buying tribe to increase, while keeping an eye on reviews and developments in the market.

[rockiee_s]

thanks for all your comments....be it real concern or simpleng panlalait.

i will definitely give my unbiased review of the coolbear once i start driving it. i have scheduled for a break in trip already to subic this coming end of may.

[renzo_d10]

rockiee_s : Goodluck. I'm sure that your unit will still be a head turner since it's still new and rare in our streets.

Enjoy your coolbear. And, please do give your unbiased feedback regarding your unit.

[rockiee_s]

yes i will.

and if i am not really satisfied with its performance and is value for my money (almost 800k sya ha!), di ako mahihiyang magsabi ng mga bad experiences ko dito.

at pag pumalpak ang mga features nya (full features kasi sya), ako mismo magbabato ng coolbear ko sa greatwall showroom sa quezon city.

[prince777]

whew! kundi pa medyo mabilis yung internet eh baka di ko natapos sa loob ng isang oras lahat ng pages..

masasabi ko lang ay balang araw ay kakainin din ang mga salita nila doon sa mga nag-comment ng negatibo sa thread na 'to...

at kay Sir Rockiee_s - saludo ako sa inyo at una kayo sa mga nagtiwala, ika nga; "success needs sacrifice sometimes"...tsaka medyo mabigat nga lang yung coolbear pag ibinato nyo!
