So I just went over to the showroom and I'm quite impressed with the offer.
97k OTR with insurance.
Purchase before 01/01/19 then get 6k discount + 3x free service.
5 years/150,000km warranty is standard.
Guaranteed buy back at 50% purchase price within 5 years if trade-in for another Haval/Go-Auto car.
About the only missing kit for me is the auto boot.

Comparison:

Subaru Forrester 124k (OTR without insurance) with powerboot vs Haval H2 91k (OTR with insurance) = 33k savings
Nissan X-Trail RM133k base model (before OTR) vs Haval H2 = 42k savings

So does the 33-42k extra expense to buy a Japanese brand makes sense because of "cheaper spare parts".
I'm not too sure.
Guaranteed buy back within 5 years at 50% price is roughly 45k, that's decent money so if i buy the next generation of Haval H2 in 5 years time it is still worth it.

spec + price beats the competition.
size wise it is probably between HRV and CRV.

The buyback gives a sense of good RV, but I am concerned of the company sustaining so long. Go Auto seems to be very slow in expansion, especially outside Klang Valley.

Based on my test drive that day, MY cars do come with the wing mirror light. Unfortunately, many users have complained of water seeping in on heavy storms which requires warranty claim of 6 months to complete...  whistling.gif

i have been lurking around in their forums.
the water seeping was for older models.
they have a fix for that already.

they have enough service centers around the country.
one in every major city is decent enough.

Still seeing the seeping complaint in their fb group 2 months back...
I still find it worrying as one in every major city, yet only the ones in Glenmarie and Plentong is Haval MY where others are just authorised SCs...

i think go auto is just a license holder and great wall is not entering the market themselves.
thus i understand being so small they need to grow organically and mitigate risk by appointing distributors.
cars themselves don't cost so much but maintaining the distribution and service network is.
even big boys like Naza can't expand like crazy even for big brand like Kia.

I guess it also have to do with support from the brand owner and the ambition of the license holder...

In my opinion it’s still very slow for a brand with supposedly good value for money products to grow and expand...further more with a local manufacturing plant already in place...

Interesting you brought up Naza...coz Go Auto stems from that family.. 🤣 which might explain the growth rate...

the ones that are doing great have their principal companies involved.
for the kiasu just buy a toyota or honda.
for everyone else there are other choices depending on the risk vs reward.
more competition is always good for consumers anyway.

Correction. Its for the "KIASI" can always buy Toyota or Honda. Been driving H2 for more than 6 months now, no complain at all. Hope their H5 and H9 hit our market soon.
