Which is the most reliable China Vehicle Brand?

[roydok]

Same quality as which Japanese brand?

Sir niky,

Japanese brands like Honda, Subaru or Toyota...etc...

Well.. they're not all the same. Honda has had trim and rust issues in the past, as well as automatic transmission issues with their five speeds before... and Toyota's gasoline engines are very reliable, while their new diesels are rather sensitive to fuel quality. I'd opine that both manufacturers hit their highest notes in the early and mid-90's but are no longer too far removed from the rest of the pack. Subarus, on the other hand, have their own quirks and problems.

And also note there are also Chinese-made Hondas and Toyotas.

But kidding aside, I don't see any local Chinese cars that are built to the same standards as mainstream Japanese cars, though they're getting close. The durability of new models is something we'll only find out over the next few years. I'd peg the best bets right now as being Foton and Haima.

Geely, Great Wall and Chery are maybe a step behind, but the last Geely I drove and the newer Great Walls are a lot better than offerings from the brands a few years ago... so I'd say give it five years before that group is advanced enough to start making comparisons.
