Chinese cars

Not a car but I do have one of these. Chinese made.

I've got an Omoda, had it about 6 months. It's pretty good, it's a petrol with a turbo so it's pretty responsive. Nice inside with all the gadgets, nice to drive. A couple of things to look out for, the boot isn't the biggest even though it's a hatchback, and if you are over 6 feet tall like me, the passenger side only just has enough head room, the back seats are ok and there is plenty of room. Oh and the in car assistant isn't the best, although it seems fine when you ask it to open windows or the sun roof, just struggles to dial the right number. Other good gadgets, apple car play, android car play, great sound system, sun roof, heated front seats, climate control, all with a long warranty. Overall, I think I would buy one if I had the choice again. I'd give it a 7 out of 10
 
What people need to realise when considering one of these things is the companies are all part of the Chinese state, either through ownership or subsidy, and part of their strategic aim of weakening western economies by damaging our automotive industries.

If you’re happy with that then cool, buy your cheap Jaecoo, enjoy the bargain.

My personal view is anyone who buys one of these shit heaps is a traitor.

Also look into Jaecoo’s highly aggressive treatment of automotive journalists. It’s a bit eye opening - but maybe not surprising when you remind yourself who is behind these companies.

Think to yourself what would happen if the European car industry ceased to be.

 
like them or not whilst the Western World has pissed about trying to maintain a traditional car making industry the Chinese have got on with making theirs massive. They opened a BYD dealership in Middlesbrough and their EV's seem to be everywhere now.

Those Jaecoo ones are massive. No need for such big cars over here, the roads are too tight and congested and parking spaces not big enough. These massive cars these days are a fucking nuisance I think

Massive?
They have a model virtually identical to the Evoque.
I counted 12 on a journey on the M6 two days ago.
Getting popular, probably because of favourable lease deals.

Do explain.

The business model is to flood the European market with cheap goods to undercut European manufacturers, with the knock on effect being to damage European economies.

There’s nothing “stupid” about that. You’ve got to remember the Chinese think on multi-decadal scales.

If you can’t wrap your head around the implications of saving a few quid by buying cheap Chinese tat, then you’re the one who’s drunk the “koolaid” pal.
