gearspeed and I went there this morning but we were not allowed to take pics of the interior but here are some info that I got:

-1st batches of Geely HA1.0 are CBU
-2nd batches of Geely HA1.0 will be built in Sta Rosa (yes, it will be assembled here)
-Colors available: green, red, yellow, blue (but when CKD kicks in, silver, black and white will be added)


-The display unit had a defective handbrake (I called the attention of the SA and told her "Ms, nakababa yung handbrake", she replied "paki taas". Tinaas ko naman pero ayaw umakyat. Tinaas ni gearspeed, ayaw din, tinaas nung SA, ayaw talaga.
-Rear "Geely" logo has traces of excess adhesive gel
-Window rollers are not aligned
-Open and close the doors, tunog filling cabinet/old car kasi kulang ng rubber lining.
-squeeking door handles
-i observed gearspeed sa pagsara ng door, hindi makuha ng dalawang beses.
-A/C switches difficult to rotate (according to gearspeed)

I'd expect mga probinsya o jologs ang bibili nyan,eh mag Suzuki Bravo ka nalang.Baka sa planta ng UMC-Nissan yung Geely HA 1.0.Sabi nga ng tatay ko taxi lang yan sa China yang Geely HA 1.0.Diba pag ang Charade pag apat ang nakasakay ay halos sadsad na sa lupa yung body,eh di ganoon din to.

Yung mga sinabi ni carlocaraddict yun na yun..hehe..Basta ang ginalaw ko dun sa Ugly este sa Geely ay yung kung saan lalabas ang aircon niya like kung sa face ba or sa face at feet or sa winshield medyo mahirap rotate.Ang tigas masyado..Expect ko pa naman parang picanto style ang pagrotate nun malambot..Manipis lang yung rubber sidings niya sa door kaya pagsara blag..di tulad ng ibang tsikot makapal ang rubber niya
Hindi ko gusto yung korte ng dashboard niya at yung combination ng kulay ng dashboard ang lapit pa niya sa cambio.mababangga mo yung stereo sa sikip habang change ka ng gear..
Naiimagine ko na kapag first gear ka bangga sa stereo second ok third bangga ulit forth ok
Si carlo talaga hindi nagtira ng comments..

Not sure if I'll buy cars Chinese-brand cars in the near future.

I won't know if I'll feel comfortable buying cars from a communist country.

Really don't know.

i think we should encourage cars like these, in time mag-iimprove din yan quality coz of the demand. patok na patok sa mga starting families or small families. and the greatest benefit, mabawasan na yun demand sa inefficient public transport like tricycles & jeepneys. imagine papunta ka palang ng main sakayan gastos ka na ng 10-15 pesos sa tricycle.

sana yun other rich fil-chinese traders mag-pasok din dito ng kani-kanilang version ng geely 1.0 para lalo pa mag-improve ang quality coz of competition.

I'd say there's still room for improvement.lots of it actually. at least China have been able to start their own brand. Sana tayo narin sumunod (yung original ha).

ano kaya maganda pangalan ng unang vehicle na proudly made in the Philippines ...

[pitbullz]

'mabuhay' ang pangalan ;-)

anyways..madami dyan sa china na mas reputable ang brand ewan ko lang ba ung bakit ito ang naipasok nila...i think that they should just copy the korean car industry and how they started.

[onewaytrip]

IMO it's too expensive! second-hand is a far better option. i personally do not want to support car companies which copy whole cars from other brands.
try http://paultan.org/archives/2004/12/05/china-pirates/
or just search "chinese copycat cars" in google. peace.

give china automakers a few more years perhaps 5-10yrs, baka magulat kayo sa improvement hehe. but this geely really sucks!
