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 |

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. JeremyLord liked this post

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. JeremyLord liked this post

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. |
