i think it is certainly a trade-off for the price that you pay for a Chery-branded vehicle vs reputable brands within the same segment and price range.

what Chery is basically doing is eating into Proton, Toyota and Honda's pie share - every unit of Omada sold equates to a loss for either of the brands. this is no easy feat for a new brand with almost-zero presence here, and knowing that Malaysian consumers are very price sensitive, the Omada does present a good-value-for-money product that will definitely distrupt the B segment market.

what remains to be seen is the durability and after-sales service like many here has brought up as well. it remains to be seen how will Chery Malaysia control and regulate the showrooms and service centres in Malaysia - until then, from an aesthetic and functionality point of view, the car does look good and the value that it offers really blows every brand out of the water.

now only for the next thing to do, test drive it tongue.gif

CM already released maintenance packaged for OM5 and can see how they trap you in with the extended engine warranty. Spark plug change every 30K KM.  icon_idea.gif

change spark plug every 30k, change air filter every 20k...

i wonder if there's any option to opt out during service sweat.gif
