nice looking car

from observation, previous chery cars i see on the road look worn quicker than usual, maybe the plastic\paint they use cannot tahan our hot sun.

i dont have one so cant tell anything else other than what i see on the road.

just people's perception of cainis cars in general, if dun care what others think of your car, then you're all good
other than that; probably RV, spare parts, whether or not you have local mechanics that are quite familiar with cherry cars in general

Shit durability.

Parts will be hard to find, need to import, if heavier parts be prepared to pay heavy postage.

Best advice is don't buy a chery. Friend bought a chery transcom years ago for business and within 2 months AC broke down. Every other month send back to SC for some other failure. Bullshit QC and service.

Fark relatives and people around you if they so ego, unless they give you the money. Buy what you think will make you hepi, not what other ppl will think. So far, I still do not trust China PRC cars yet due to quality issues and future problems not known yet as it is still new in this industry.

*if feel driving 100k caina car as low keras, cannot imagine what keras driving P1/P2 cars? Shit poor keras, low-life, useless terus?

Beware of Omoda 5 ADAS system issue



In Sydney’s quiet and perfectly marked M8 tunnel, the Omoda 5’s adaptive cruise control and lane-trace assist systems were jerky but fine.

Introduce traffic, bright sunshine or mediocre line markings, though, and the Omoda 5’s semi-autonomous features are swiftly reduced to hindrances. Then there’s the driver attention monitoring system, which sounds a warning every time you look in the mirrors to merge.

The emergency lane-keep assist, though, is what’s frightening. Sensing a departure from the lane (despite 30cm between rubber and white paint), the Omoda 5 will yank the wheel from your grasp firmly enough to introduce a moment of yaw, then wrestle itself inside the lane, before packing in and letting you drift out of the road markings, all the while beeping inanely.

The systems turn on every time you start the car, too, and disabling them requires several layers of menu hopping.

sc may be too far away depending where you stay.
parts may also be an issue.
quality of material , looking at the china car review seems much better compare to previous models that malaysia has last time.
better test drive it first before buying.

Don't take first batch when it launched here.

Then, expect less SC so more difficult when service or repair comes to find u.

most important if you decide, u need to accept it's cons. lol.
