On this page, we tried to collect test drives and reviews of the Lifan Solano car, which were printed or published in any automotive magazines and other authoritative sources.
Lifan Solano: plebeian in the nobility
"Red" China seems to know what the common people of the people need. The proletarian wants a car no worse than the imperialists. The Russian consumer is not far behind in this regard. With the release of Lifan Solano, the domestic auto industry should sprinkle ashes on its head and irrevocably capitulate. While the leadership of VAZ is announcing Kalina with a radio tape recorder on a grand scale and is trying to attach GLONASS there, the Chinese are stuffing their creations "under the business class" and can count on wild success among a certain segment of the population.
Smart people say that, they say, do not promise. And rightly so! I swore, sometimes even out loud, that I would never drive a product of the Chinese automobile industry. And here you go ... Sat down. I drove almost 300 kilometers on it on not the best roads, and ... And the new Lifan Solano made me think - about the Chinese auto industry, its past and present.
Lifan group of companies (Lifan Industry Group Co.Ltd). The word "Lifan" is translated into Russian approximately as "To go in full sail." Lifan Corporation was founded in 1992. Today, LIFAN Industrial Group is in the list of 500 leading private enterprises in China. The corporation specializes in the production of cars, buses, motorcycles, scooters and ATVs.
The head of the Russian representative office of the Chinese car company Lifan, Mr. Sun Zejun, and correspondents from leading automotive publications visited the Derways car plant in Cherkessk, where production of the new C-class sedan Lifan Solano began in March of this year.
A small stele with the inscription "Derways" rises next to a concrete fence surrounded by barbed wire. It is quite quiet around, the noise is created only occasionally by cars passing by and the voices of the guards. You can’t say that there is a lot of activity behind the fence.
The first private car factory in post-Soviet Russia appeared in 2002. It was built in Karachay-Cherkessia. Many considered the project utopian, including because the new enterprise was going to produce SUVs of its own design. Nevertheless, the plant started working, and the Cowboy, built on the chassis of the Romanian ARO, went on sale. True, only a few hundred of them were made - the demand for a car of a new, still unknown brand was small. In addition, the buyers did not inspire confidence in the plastic body, assembled on a spatial frame. Yes, and the price seemed too high to many .... Soon a solution to the problem was found. At the end of 2007, the assembly of the Chinese Lifan Breeze sedan began at the plant. In parallel, the construction of new buildings, installation and adjustment of equipment were underway.
In the summer of 2009, welding production, as well as a cataphoresis and painting shop, designed to produce up to 100,000 bodies per year, were launched.
Currently, the plant assembles cars under the Geely brand from Chinese car kits, as well as Lifan Breeze and the Solano sedan that debuted last year. By the way, his name comes from the name of an Indian tribe that once lived in those parts where today the border between the United States and Mexico passes.
The wind blew again from the Caucasus mountains. And it's called Solano. Such a romantic name (as a strong southwest wind is called in Spain) wears a new product of the Karachay-Circassian and Chinese car industries. The tandem of "Derways" and Lifan produced another "windy" car. Their firstborn - Breez - was simple and unpretentious. Designed for a mass, inexperienced motorist, he quickly occupied his niche in the market. The C-class sedan Lifan Solano is already positioned by manufacturers as a “premium” in the “economy” category. Still! The new car was stuffed with pleasant amenities for the car owner. The only package so far includes ABS, two airbags, full power accessories, air conditioning, an audio system and an on-board computer, as well as optional, but pleasant little things: LED “dimensions” in the front optics, alloy wheels and adjustable lumbar supports at the front seats.
Lifan Solano - premium segment in economy class
They promise that it will cost no more than cars of Russian brands. With a rather generous equipment: a 1.6-liter engine, a wide range of options, a spacious interior, quite an energy-intensive suspension ... But it seems that the new golf-class sedan will retain all the traditional problems of Chinese cars - an uncomfortable fit, not the highest quality finishing materials, miscalculations in ergonomics, mediocre dynamic performance ...
Sedan Lifan Solano (formerly known as Lifan 620)- a new model of the C-class from the Chinese car manufacturer Lifan Industry Group Co. Ltd. Sales of Lifan Solano cars in the Russian market began in March 2010. Lifan Solano managed to establish itself in the Asian markets. Sales of Solano in China in the first quarter of 2009 alone, according to the manufacturer's official statistics, amounted to more than 15,000 vehicles. Although this may not be the most successful indicator, given that daily car sales in China are 30,000 units. The appearance of the Solano makes a solid impression. Its design echoes the fashionable modern trends in the automotive industry. It is believed that the design of the Lifan 620 Solano model was borrowed from a German car, namely the BMW 3 Series. But due to the lack of any “highlight” of its own, we can say that it looks like many modern, though mostly Asian, cars at the same time.
The Lifan brand has been the leader among Chinese automakers in Russia for more than a year. According to the results of last year, it showed a 15 percent growth, against the backdrop of a general market decline. The main cash desk is made by the X50 and X60 crossovers, but the Solano sedan is not deprived of attention either. A second-generation car has recently launched, and this is perhaps the most budget-friendly golf-class sedan on our market. Is it only this that attracts Solano II and how has the new generation car changed?
The Chinese auto industry is evolving and developing, not to say that by leaps and bounds, but rather quickly. Lifan, by the way, is far from being at the forefront of technological progress among Chinese brands. So why is she our leader? Most likely, this is just a marketing strategy, Lifan was able to offer quite unpretentious cars at the most attractive prices. Here is the result.
Solano II, in fact, is not a completely new car, but a deep modernization of its predecessor. Therefore, the suspension remained unchanged, and the power units (100-horsepower engine and 5-speed gearbox), and the basis of the supporting structure of the body - door, window openings, roof. In a word, everything that was copied from the 2000 model year Toyota Corolla sedan. And new only design, developed in-house, interior and equipment. Solano II has really become more attractive and modern, nice lensed optics with LED running lights, and taillights with long LED strips of “turn signals” are especially successful. The entire increase in length (70 mm) fell only on the overhangs of the body and they are large. In terms of body length, this is a full-fledged C-class, and in terms of the length of the base and, accordingly, capacity, it is only B. Against the background of such a large body with a high hood line and a large luggage compartment, the wheel arches look too small, and the wings above them are inflated and thick. In general, the silhouette of the car was not pleased with the proportions. But all this is taste and a thing, in general, subjective. As for the evenness of the gaps and the quality of the fit of the panels, here it may not be perfect, but there were no special questions.
It is difficult to close the doors the first time, you try not to slam hard, but as a result, they do not close, you have to clap harder. And this is not just an unsuccessful hand movement, but some kind of pathological property of locks. Already sitting in the cabin, and intending to go on the road, you again hear the buzzer signaling an unlocked door. Clap harder, no, failure. Even stronger. On the third or fourth time it is usually possible to close.
The interior of the new Solano is visually quite neat, concise and modern, adjusted for the budget model. No Asian troubles with the design, everything is quite organic and familiar in appearance. The salon is especially good in the test maximum configuration of Luxury with a large display of the communication system and a nice air conditioner unit. A good multifunction steering wheel is not made of leather, but is made of rubberized plastic that is pleasant to the touch. But the door cards and chairs are trimmed with eco-leather with red stitching. The plastic trim is inexpensive, but everything is done quite neatly. It seems that everything looks great and even comfortable. But here we are smoothly approaching the main problem of many Chinese cars. No, this is not even quality or reliability, they may leave much to be desired, but they have reached some acceptable level. Ergonomics is the main scourge of Chinese cars at the present stage. The fact is that some cars from the Middle Kingdom are simply not designed for tall people, and Solano, unfortunately, is no exception.
The driver's seat and steering wheel have height adjustment, but they are clearly not enough. How insufficient is the adjustment of the chair in the longitudinal direction. As a result, my height is far from being gigantic - 183 cm, I move the seat all the way back and put it in the lowest position, and the steering wheel in the highest position. It turns out fine on the pedals, and the instrument scales under the steering wheel rim are almost visible, however, I want to lift the “steering wheel” even higher and bring it closer to me so that it does not lie almost on my knees. But this is the limit. It turns out that if I could still tolerably fit behind the wheel, then a person taller than me will no longer be able to. The pillow is a little short, and the profile of the back is not the best, flat and lacks the adjustment of the lumbar support, which would not hurt here. The round scales of the instruments are quite informative, but the curved glass that covers them desperately glares, regardless of the position of the light source. So, the lower sector of the scales is constantly not visible, just like the fuel level and engine temperature indicators located below, and this is almost half of the instrument cluster.
The touch screen of the communication system lacks responsiveness and graphics. On a sunny day, it is also not visible in the best way, the sound of the radio is average, and the navigation was not loaded into our system. The picture from the rear view camera is quite clear, but the “dynamic” lines are props, they do not move. I liked the remote control of the air conditioner, everything is done clearly and logically, the round knobs do not play. Below the cover are an ashtray and a cigarette lighter. On the central tunnel are cup holders and buttons for heating the front seats. The rectangular armrest box is medium in size, it has USB and Aux connectors, and the leather-lined lid is securely fastened, does not play or dangle, as happened on most Chinese cars in the past. To the left of the steering wheel is a block with a remote control for adjusting rear-view mirrors, a trunk release button and a headlight corrector wheel, under which there is a small compartment for small things. On the ceiling panel, in addition to lighting, there is a eyeglass case.
By modern standards, the equipment is not too rich: in addition to the above, there are power windows front and rear, heated rear-view mirrors, two front airbags, ABS and EBD. There is no stabilization system in any of the trim levels. I sat on the back sofa with a minimum margin of legroom, but my head rests on the ceiling. So these places are designed for people no taller than average. The third passenger in the center will be completely uncomfortable, the central part of the sofa sticks out, and the tunnel interferes underfoot. There is a retractable armrest with cup holders, but again, it is unsuitable for my height, it is located low, so I have to bend over to it. Of the additional amenities - nothing remarkable, there are pockets in the doors, and the cut of the front seats is such that the pockets in the backs are so small that they can fit, perhaps, only a brochure or a pack of napkins.
But the trunk is really big, although I'm not sure about the reality of the passport 650 liters. There are no pockets, hooks and loops to secure the load. The transformation of the rear sofa is standard - the back rests in parts horizontally. The floor panel, sheathed in fleecy fabric, is thin and too pliable. Under it is a "spare wheel" on a stamped disk and no organizers. In a word, the trunk is simple in decoration and there are no additional amenities. Even the handle for closing on the inside of the lid is not provided.
The clutch is not informative, “cottoned”, and at the start you involuntarily overdrive so as not to stall. In this sense, little adaptation is required. Acceleration at the initial stage is quite dynamic, even with slipping, but then it turns sour, and at high speeds there is already not enough traction, as well as elasticity. To maintain a brisk pace of driving, you have to change down gears earlier than you expect. Not surprisingly, nowhere in the technical specifications I could not find data on acceleration to "hundreds". Apparently, they are not impressive, and the Chinese simply did not bring them. But in general, if you drive measuredly, then the engine-transmission tandem is quite normal. No revelations, but you keep in the flow without problems, the box works quite clearly.
Visibility and braking performance - no complaints. Noise isolation is unique. While you are not going fast, at city speeds, it seems that everything is in order, it is not noisy, the engine is clearly audible only during intensive acceleration. But then, at speeds under 80 and above, the interior is filled with a rumble, here are aerodynamic noises, and the clatter of studded tires on asphalt. Everything merges into a single rumble that accompanies constantly. And what is more interesting, even when the heater fan is off, there is a complete feeling that it is turned on to the fullest, something hisses loudly in the front panel. It cannot be said that all this cacophony puts too much pressure on the ears, but on a long journey, when you drive for hours without a break, I think it will not be very comfortable.
But the suspension, surprisingly, is omnivorous and smooth running pleases, in this sense, the car is well adapted for our operating conditions. This, perhaps, is generally one of the strongest sides of Solano II. Satisfied and energy intensity in combination with sufficient clearance. I measured the clearance with a tape measure, yes, approximately, it is - 165 mm, as the manufacturer claims. It is for regions with unimportant roads or even for rural dirt roads that Solano is best suited.
But on highways, where handling is important, everything is different. The Solano holds a straight line, maybe not bad, but it is not possible to control and correct this with the steering wheel in the best way, since in the near-zero zone it is completely devoid of information content and reactive effort. When maneuvering, you can turn the steering wheel 90 degrees, and it will remain in this position if you do not forcefully return it to zero with your hands, although there is no clear zero either. Therefore, in motion there is no reliable connection with the car on the steering wheel. Only at speed appears at least some information content. And the more you turn the steering wheel to the side, the more informative, the paradox, but in sharp, energetic turns you feel more confident than on a straight line. Perhaps, you have never seen a car with such a peculiar steering setting. In order to “vomit” in “traffic jams”, and move slowly around the city, maybe nothing. Maneuverability, again, is good, the turning radius is small. But for drivers with a driver's vein, such handling without intelligible feedback, I think, will not be to your liking. It seems that Chinese engineers are still developing the chassis according to the principle - how it will turn out, and driving characteristics are adjusted at random. Since it is extremely unlikely to consciously come to such a result.
The base Solano II, according to the price list, at the time of the test, cost 510 thousand rubles. But such a car does not even have wheel caps, a decorative engine cover, interior lighting and an immobilizer. But there is air conditioning, power windows, two airbags, ABS, and leather on the seats. True, as the representative of the dealer told me, they themselves had never seen such cars before, and did not try to order them. The Circassian plant "Derways" does not seek to satisfy such orders. You will probably have to wait a very long time, if you manage to order at all. So, in reality, only Comfort versions are available for 620 thousand and Luxury for 655 thousand. I would like to believe in a Chinese miracle, but for now, alas ... For me, with the current set of consumer qualities, Solano, in order to become in demand, should cost less than the base 510 thousand, or, whatever they were, at least, in stock and easily accessible .

Car for a test drive provided by the car dealership ""
Lifan Solano is well known to Russian motorists - the assembly of this model of the Chinese manufacturer has been established in Cherkessk. It's time to take a closer look at the sedan in its new incarnation.
Everyone chooses for themselves - this statement is no less applicable when discussing cars than in relation to people. Looking after a new car - no matter what price category, brand and country of origin, each of us pays attention to some of our own, clearly defined set of qualities. For some, appearance is more important, others are attracted by spaciousness and practicality, others are ready to look for rare lines about the nuances of “asphalt” handling even in the review of tracked bulldozers.
Who is the bravest?
Perhaps from the breed of cars for those people who always strive for a reasonable price to acquire as many formal signs of prestige as possible. And at the right time, flaunt them, arguing before others about their practicality and foresight. There seem to be many such people. Lifan Solano, whose assembly started in Cherkessk in 2010, has gained some popularity in the Russian regions. Many of these cars are still working in a taxi, which indirectly allows us to judge this sedan as quite unpretentious.In its second generation, Solano is ready to contribute to the above approach: the car looks restrained and somehow solid, the design has diminished overtly Asian motifs and attempts at embellishment. But its silhouette is not particularly harmonious - the bow and stern are heavy.
Compensation is a spacious trunk, in which you can easily tamp the necessary belongings when going to the country in the spring. If desired, skis will also fit: if you fold the sections of the back of the rear sofa, a wide opening is formed that allows you to transport long lengths. On the trunk lid, Chinese designers provided soft upholstery, but there was no place for a handle - to close the trunk without getting dirty, you have to grab the lock in a slippery plastic “case”.
Lifan Solano sedan is one of the current and latest models of the C segment according to the European classification from the Chinese automaker in the face of Lifan Industry Group Co. Ltd. On forums and thematic sites, reviews of Lifan Solano are mostly positive. But there are still plenty of questions. Many car enthusiasts are interested in the same problem: “What distinguishes this golf class car from its competitors, as well as what technical and driving characteristics it has, and what each person needs to know in order to make the right choice. Answers to individual questions can be found in this article.
Lifan Solano - received good popularity in the market
Review Lifan Solano
It is worth noting that initially Lifan Solano created immense popularity for himself, and accordingly a good reputation in the Asian market, and only then moved to the Aged World market. I would like to remind you that in the modern world, only in China in the first three months of 2009, about 15 thousand cars were sold. And this is not the final start, since daily car sales in China exceed 30,000 cars. You can definitely say that this car makes a vivid impression and is very solid. In design, you can meet modern fashionable notes, so it can be called successful, which combines global automotive trends. It must be said that anyone can find in it the features of the German automobile industry, or rather the Bavarian BMW 3 Series. And what is truly missing is some special "zest" in this car. Overview Lifan Solano: This will probably happen in the future, no one argues, but for now this car is organized thanks to modern trends, especially with regard to Chinese style in design. But on the field of competitors, he looks very worthy. If we compare it with Geely Vision, then we can say that the quality of finishes, materials, and handling has grown much better, which was clearly demonstrated by the test drive of Lifan Solano in the conditions of Russian routes. The appearance of the car resembles Geely MK and Toyota Corolla, and there is a simple explanation for this - after all, they usually have the same roots. In a nutshell, everything is simple and beautiful. In the huge trunk is a full-size spare wheel. And if you put the seats, then an immense opening will open. Probably, an impressive size wardrobe will be able to ascend.
The interior is entirely made of leather, which is pleasant to touch, it is neatly sewn. The torpedo is made of polyurethane foam, in such a way, it turned out to be soft and not booming, it looks prestigious and elegant. In this manner, I want to say a big thank you to the Japanese designers. The numbers and arrows on the dashboard will be easy to see. The driver's seat is comfortable, but it is a pity that the seat height is not adjustable. But for a person who has a height of about 190, it will be cramped, despite the fact that I chose to adjust the chair almost to the stop. Thus, the passenger sitting behind is surprised, because he is very comfortable to sit. On the passenger seat, you can sit more comfortably, here the console interferes less, so you can stretch your legs. If we talk about the back sofa, then it is comfortable, soft, there are plenty of legrooms, there were still enough points for the armrest with built-in cup holders.

Out of habit, you can not find the neutral, and for some reason the knob rotates around its axis. At first you don’t get used to the box, but with time it will pass. You will also have to get used to the reverse gear, because there are no fuses. The brake and clutch pedals are light. However, this is all a matter of habit. Of course, the biggest miscalculation is made in the engine. In order for the car to drive in the stream, you will need to spin the engine, and at high speeds it roars tediously. What the Chinese did with the engine - who knows. But we can definitely say that his character was spoiled. Maybe you want to reduce fuel consumption? It didn't work out very well.
Test drive Lifan Solano
The dynamics of the Solano leaves much to be desired - it is not possible to overtake even the Volga in acceleration. A very deplorable moment is observed at low as well as medium speeds, the car “does not pull”, this is precisely the main negative feedback from buyers. Test drive Lifan Solano: After changing the driving mode to dacha-chinny, a new discovery was made, it became much quieter in the cabin, even whistling whirlwinds are not felt. And there is no feeling that you are riding a cart with a motor. At speeds up to 130 km / h, the car holds the road confidently, and the suspension ideally passes over uneven asphalt. In this way, the driver and passengers do not enjoy the whistle of the wind or other unpleasant sounds, but only comfort. But if you accelerate further, then the car starts to scour, in this manner, you have to taxi, and this, as a rule, is not very convenient to do with an almost “empty” steering wheel. I think every car owner will understand what the reprimand is about.
As a result, I would like to say that Solano can be safely called a good car, and even if it is not made for a hasty ride, but not all fans of extreme racing. Someone prefers soft movement, like on a cruise ship. This car floats on the highway, while easily coping with various roadsides. It has a long-travel suspension, in a word, you won’t find anything better for a summer resident. Trunk capacity is about 400 liters. But this volume can be increased if the rear seat backs are laid in a 40:60 ratio. And the last advantage is the price.
Review of Lifan Solano with a 1.6-liter engine
This includes air conditioning, a whole electrical package, it costs only - 355.7 thousand rubles. Also here you can add a large ground clearance and trunk. Recall that the car of this model was launched on the Russian market in March 2010.
In terms of overall parameters, the car looks very solid and attractive than the smaller brother in the model line, which is called Breeze. I would also like to note that this model is distinguished by a more spacious and comfortable interior, and, of course, a rich internal “technical stuffing”. I would like to note that the car of this model is a little longer than the Breeze model. But the trunk has become roomy and spacious, this quality cannot be underestimated. It is for this reason that a car today is especially popular among summer residents, for whom the trunk plays a lot. Thus, by purchasing this car model, we can say with confidence that not only summer residents, but also everyone who prefers a quiet and quiet ride, will be pleased with the choice. They will also be struck by the cost of Lifan Solano - in comparison with other cars of the same class.
Salon is impressive
Looking inside, we see a leather interior. A fairly simple design style, at the same time, and very attractive. Everything is done in light colors. The modification of this car includes: power steering, air conditioning, full power accessories, and a full-size spare wheel.
The car has a large and comfortable interior
I also want to talk about some elements that directly affect not only the driver, but all passengers. Recall that this model has passed the crash test, and very successfully. Also, the car is equipped with two airbags, and thanks to the automatic locking of the doors during your drive, you are provided with a pleasant and safe trip, be sure of this. Positive reviews of Lifan Solano indicate that it has good quality materials and assembly in one piece. The car is equipped with an adjustable steering column, fog lights, alarm system, central locking, etc. Alloy wheels are installed on the car, which have 15 inches.
Test drive Lifan Solano 620
If compared with the torsion bar design of the Breeze model, then I can confidently say that the suspension is made at the highest level. And you can be sure of this by purchasing this car model. It should also be recalled that since the dawn of 2010, some changes and additions have taken place in the engine lineup. It is worth noting that the newly made Lifan Solano engine is equipped with a 1.8 liter engine, which boldly develops 137 horsepower. Moreover, now the car is available in the top configuration, which has an automatic transmission.
As well as the Breeze model, the newly-made Lifan Solano for the Russian market is produced at the Derways plant, which is located in Cherkessk. As modern practice shows, this enterprise easily lowers up to 25 thousand cars a year, which is a very impressive figure. In the Russian market, the price of Lifan Solano in the basic configuration is 355,000 rubles. If you have been looking for a car for a long time not for racing, but for a calm and comfortable ride, then you can definitely say that this car will never disappoint you. After all, how can he do this, thanks to his originality, attractiveness, versatility. If you love to go on long journeys, then on this car, you will not feel anything other than comfort. It is lightweight and smoothly copes with any bumps in the road, holds the path well. You can verify this for yourself by testing the car in a car dealership, and then you will be sure that these are not just beautiful words, but reality. Crash test Lifan Solano: Crash - test confirmed the reliability of this car, it is equipped with two airbags, both for the driver and passenger. Thanks to the automatic locking of the doors while driving, you are also guaranteed safety. Today, the car is sold in two versions: with an engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 106 horsepower, and with a manual transmission with a motor of 1.8 liters and 128 horsepower.
Imprisonment
In conclusion, I would like to say that Lifan Solano is especially popular in the market, purchasing it, you will not be disappointed in your choice. This is a fact that is hard to argue with.
And this is easily explained. The advantages of this model include:
- Nice paint as well as beautiful exterior design.
- A beautiful salon will please not only you, but also all your loved ones.
- Thanks to a large enough item inside, you can go to the sea with your family without thinking about anything.
- Excellent road holding at medium speeds.
- Super quality at a super price!
- Inexpensive operation establishes a great mood among the owners of such a car.
Among the disadvantages are:
- Accelerates badly both from a standstill and while driving.
- Poor handling at high speeds.
- Greater fuel consumption when driving on the highway.
Also, some owners of this car complain about the car's electronics. But, as practice shows, more often than not, these are just unproven words. We can say with confidence that a car can easily attract the attention of not only a rational, but also a demanding buyer.
Lifan Solano - a car that meets all modern requirements
And this is easy to explain, because the car meets all the modern technologies that motorists want to see. Sometimes it exceeds their expectations, which once again proves that this car model is a good choice. But, after listening and reading positive reviews about Lifan Solano from other people, the choice is still yours.
07/12/2013
I apologize for the mat, but there is no other way about this car.
The car was bought in 2006-7, I can’t say for sure because they sold it and crossed themselves, owned it for 2 years.
We bought a car for 370 tr. somewhere.
Main equipment: condo, pillows, leather-erysipelas, abs, gur, Volume 1.6 - 105 horses somewhere. Looks exactly like the picture in the post.
In general, it was normal for this price to complete it .. There is no joy, the car is cheap, everything is there from the main one. Priora, at that time, cost somewhere the same.
Ride on it for a bit and it became clear that the vegetable grower engine was not going anywhere, the engine, as they said, was from Toyota Carolla. Fuck knows what this engine is from, but he did not want to go. On the highway, of course, he was driving 160 and there was nothing, but from a traffic light, he probably even pulled six if desired. By the way, at speeds over 100 km.h. (between the hood and the glass there is a plastic protection adjacent to the glass with an elastic band) the gum flew out to half and hu.chila on Lobovik. I began to think that the car would soon fly apart. The officials said that the fastenings are broken, go to hell, this is not under warranty.
The time has come. went to change something there, after sent 3 letters which says: the car must be driven to dealers and redo the electrician, such as a factory marriage. Every time they went they did everything.
It's been a while - Warranty is over burnt out brains. Bought new brains, waited 3 months from China. Put new ones, ride, burned out and new ones. In the end it turned out that both those and those were alive, the problem was in another x.y understand what. Everything was done by the officials.
Another miracle has passed- the gas pedal broke, we bought new parts, after that the new ones broke, I went like that in Chinese)).
In short, every time, and this is every month, everything broke down.
I list it like this:
1. By way of almost all consumables every year.
2. Refused tidy, light.
3. Izdoh Chinese battery somewhere in a year.
4. Rubber moldings all shrunken, chrome began to climb around.
5. The body is shit, the foil, the scratch immediately rots.
6. Shumka is shit.
7. A place for the driver with an increase of 180 shit, you’ll get in hell.
8. Plastic crap fell off around the door lock.
9. You will find horseradish spare parts and you will wait for hell. (No problem for now)
10. If someone seriously flies into you, you are a corpse, go there to heaven right away.
I have listed everything. You won’t remember everything that broke, too much.
Well, in the end I will say the pros.
1. Looks OK
2. Salon looks normal for this price too.
3. The box and the motor did not fail, although they are fucking necessary if everything else falls off, and the mileage was 50-60 thousand when they sold it to another d.lbaebu, and he was delighted to the point of madness.
Everything, there are no more pluses.
P.S. Now they say that supposedly the engine is different there and everything is different, and the car is normal. I don't know if it's true. But I don't recommend taking it. better than an old normal foreign car 3-4 years old.
