ho ho ....have seen it....dynasan....is it your blog???

nice car from wat i read here. haven test it before. must give a try then. thanks bro.

ya you should try ...value for money ...

i do not understand why someone would want to buy this chery, even the kia rondo/naza citra II rondo is a better choice at that price. i still believe the koreans make better car than the chinese. its not even crash-test proof

why don't you understand - why why why !

are you a Rondo purchaser ? - if so i pls be happy and enjoy your Korean car

BUT i can bet the Toyota Wish and the Honda Stream owners are laughing at the Korean car purchasers
as they would say the Japanese brand is the better one as compared to the Korean ones


it never ends - all this brand talk


BUT i have already bought my black Chery since more than 1 week - no regrets at all

no cars are crash proof - i am sure you know about Ayrton Senna of Formula 1 races - Ayrton Senna


CHEERS

i know they assemble in johor.. but i don't think i can buy it straight from kilang right? still need a dealer. from the website the only dealer in peninsular are at PJ and KL. if i buy this car, do i need to go all the way to PJ for service?


my sister has naza sutera which from china. performance.. yeah it suck.. but at least it still running with no problem until now which is 90k. had once waja kissed it from the back but only had a little scratch while the waja bumper and front 'kemik'. im a slow driver, always obey speed limit. for 80k, i think chery give a total package. it has looks, performance, comfort, and feature.

thanks.. where u get the list thou?

the dealers list is available on the Chery Alado website

Chery Alado - dealer list

look like we're having more posting from various parties...but where are those users...seem like only a handful of posting from them. we need a stronger Chery community.
Heard that they'd sold about 500+ Chery Eastar already...don't know whether it's true or not.
Zaizu, how's the new car, can give us a review and the FC...had you done your 1k service...yet

thanks.. is the road tax really rm730?

they're a rebate of RM200.

If the 500 stat is true.....meaning only left 500 buyers to enjoy premium Chery MPV at 79888 with 1 year or 20K totally free service......

Dynasan.....I didt pay any extra charges ....also my road tax already RM530 and enjoy 55% NCB for insurance.......

you sure? as I need to pay RM79,888 plus another additional of RM182.00 for the difference of insurance between the price of RM79,888 and RM86,888....ler

Zaizu, surehit...did you pay for this RM182.00 ?

you better clarify with the salesman....RM 182 use for petrol ....ha ha

There will always be people who come in, read a bit then throw general statement like the above. I'm guilty of it too sometimes...

So to correct you, please read below:

My comparison:

CHERY EASTAR
Engine: Mitsubishi 2.4L SOHC 16V
Max Power: 95kw@5500rpm
Max Torque: 198Nm@3000rpm (the best compare to others!!)
Min Turning Radius: 6m

TOYOTA AVANZA
Engine: Toyota 1.5 DOHC 16V
Max Power: 80kw@6000rpm
Max Torque: 141Nm@4400rpm
Min Turning Radius: 4.7m

TOYOTA RUSH
Engine: Toyota 1.5 DOHC 16V
Max Power: 80kw@6000rpm
Max Torque: 141Nm@4400rpm
Min Turning Radius: 5.2m

NISSAN GRAND LIVINA
Engine: Nissan 1.8L DOHC 16V
Max Power: 93kw@5200rpm
Max Torque: 174Nm@4800rpm
Min Turning Radius: 5.2m


For what I'm paying, I'm getting:

1. Nice elegant look, esp the beautiful LED rear lights.
2. Good features you can only find in higher price MPV: Dual Airbags, ABS, EBD, Steptronic (auto & manual transmission), Mitsubishi 2.4L engine, 16" alloy wheel, CD + MP3 player with USB, Dual Tone Horn.
3. Good petrol consumption from the feedbacks here, RM100 for 450km.
4. Sleeker than Avanza/Innova/Serena but roomier than Avanza/Grand Livina/Rush/Citra/Rondo. Sits 7 people comfortably.
5. Auto thermostatic adjust air-con with blowers on last 2 rows.
6. 3 years warranty and 1 year free service. Use Mitsubishi spare parts.
7. NCAP Safety Rating of 4.

RM80k only now, mana boleh dapat from other brands?

i quote from paultan.org

According to Naza Kia, the new Rondo is built on the D-segment new Kia Optima platform and also shares the Optima’s sweet new GEMA-based 2.0 liter DOHC CVVT engine producing 145 horsepower and 189Nm of torque, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission with sequential manual shifting. The GEMA engine is a joint project between DaimlerChrysler, Hyundai and Mitsubishi. The 4B11 in the Mitsubishi Lancer is also based on the GEMA family.

which ncap are u referring to? all ncaps are different, the ancap and euro ncap are totally different things, different test basis.

if u base on horsepower basis, no doubt the low tech 4g64 has better torque, but by how much, a negligible, close to 9nm of torque. your fuel consumption would be higher since its not a fuel efficient engine. 2.4 vs 2.0 is not a fair fight. if u want to compare proper engines, think of the toyota estima 2.4 or toyota alphard 2.4.

i have nothing against china made cars, but their tech is still much away from any major manufacturers. the kia is using a mitsubishi based engine which has more parts and tuning parts, which can easily swallow the 4g64 underdeveloped engine.

kia rondo has 4 star ancap test (http://www.mynrma.com.au/cps/rde/xchg/mynrma/hs.xsl/ancap_kia_rondo_lhd_08.htm)

sohc vehicles lack top speed, mind you, i owned a 1.8 litre sohc mitsubishi lancer . good pickup, but lack the top speed!

wait till the proton mpv comes out, i bet most owners of the chery mpv would be in tears.
