"If you don't care about being seen in a Chinese car!.. Buy it!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Just the clutch pedal was little too high when I purchased, the dealer lowered it upon my request.. Nothing else.

General comments?

So much fun to drive, and surprising high performance from this car, even if you compare it with Japanese or Korean ones.

Many people still say Chinese car!!.. I too was worry before buying this Chery, but after experience with it, I can recommend this car for anyone who wants a strong, reliable, economical family car for a reasonable price (considering the too high prices of Japanese or European vehicles in Egypt, which is nearly double the price if compared with many other countries!.. don't know why?!)

As everything has advantages and weak points, the Chery has a little bit of a nervous engine, but it is strong, but too loud for 1600cc engine. Besides the exhaust pump is not fixed tightly, so it moves and makes some noise when you drive on non asphalted roads.

About the dealer here - the service they give is really good, and the place is very spacious and elegant. A good effort that I didn't see matched by Subaru.

After all, it is an excellent car with a strong body and engine, fun driving, good fuel consumption (10 km per liter in average), and much equipment such as ABS, central locking, air bags.. etc.

The cars in Egypt are expensive because like Syria and Jordan, they have an outrageous car tax when you buy a new car. In Syria it can be as much as 200%, so even the very rich in Syria drive a new Ford Taurus or Toyota Camry.

Hi, I`m the original writer.

After 3 years, and the car made 100000 KM the transmission broke down, I replaced it with a Golf 2 transmission. The transmission problem happened to many other Chery A11 owners, so it is the car`s weakest point.

About the dealer whom I praised in my review, unfortunately after they have sold a lot of this Chery the service became very very bad, and the spare parts prices went up!

That's typical of chinese products.. sell cheap... with poor quality products.. once your product is wide spread, hike the spare parts price.
