1999 Kish Khodro Sinad LXI review from Iran
"Buyer should be rich and should know technical information about cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior noises that comes from dashboard and doors.
Screws of exhaust manifold would unscrew monthly, or every three months depending on your driving style. They should add some springs on them to make exhaust pipe (that is static) separate from engine exhaust manifold (that is dynamic) and would move when you release the clutch pedal.
80% of them have faulty electrical windows. They should use more powerful electric motors for those big side windows; still they use Peugeot 405 electric motors to move the side windows, and they are too weak.
They Must add height adjustment for front seats because they are too short.
General comments?
A nice roomy car and really has space for 5 Adults, and even you can make it something like van.
Cool Air conditiong system.
Enjoyable to drive.
Stuck to the earth (it's difficult to make it upside-down).
Very comfortable and easy to use gearbox.
Reliable brakes.
The engine turns on really easily even in cold mornings in winters.
The Maximum speed that I could reach was 170 km/hour with no passengers, but there was a headwind. They have written in their website (kishkhodro-sinad.com) that it is capable of 187 km/hour.
In total, it is fast and full of enjoyment; you can't compare it's handling with any other car in this price range in Iran.
