Ano ang cons ng Foton in general?

Quality is still suspect. But the units seem to be holding up well.

Lots of minor stuff if you are nitpicking:
*Plastic lenses for headlamps, taillamps, foglamps easily discolor and get cloudy (can be fixed by professional rubbing and detailing of the lamps)
*Aircon vents become loosey-goosey in no time. Just like in those old taxi cabs
*Some say the aircon is not as cold as the competitor vehicles
*Other interior plastic trims get cracked if not handled carefully
*Rubber parts don't hold up as well (e.g. weatherstrips, mouldings, etc.)
*Suspension is stiff and can become noisy earlier than usual (again, something that is not really hard to fix)
*Better get good rust proofing. Chinese anti-corrosion measures are still not up to par with other brands.

*Sir Fotonista

Sir, kamusta Noise, Vibration & Harshness level ng blizzard mo? Any suggestion on how to reduce them? Just got my unit a few days ago and just notice ung sound and vibration is too loud...

thanks!

Poor Quality pa rin talaga.

nakita ko na din ang Foton Blizzard...

poor quality ang interior plastics para sa akin... kasi yun mga singit eh di pantay ang spaces. :-(

tapos yun door handle nya sa loob eh parang masyadong manipis... parang mapuputol pag hinila ng biglaan. :-(

pero externally... matigas ang kaha at mukhang well made naman... pati wheel wells mukhang di naman tinipid.

di ko din nagustuhan yun design nila sa loob na parang wood trims sa dash board at steering wheel.

maingay at ramdam mo vibrations sa loob... pero para sa akin tolerable naman yun gawa kasi ng makina na Timing Gear ang gamit.

Kamusta fuel economy and reliability so far? This looks like a good all around work truck.

Based on the reviews, okay siya kung pang-tao lang or pang-harabas ika nga. Yung kung saan pupwedeng wala kang pakielam basta salpak ka lang ng salpak ng gamit sa loob at sa bed at yung hindi ka manghihinayang kung magasgas. And syempre, yung kapag driver mo lang nagdadala parati or ikaw lang papunta sa site. Hindi siya pwede sa pang-pamilya kasi nga matagtag, maingay at manginig. Pet peeve pa naman 'to usually ng mga asawa o anak.
