2005 Pyonghwa Motors Hwiparam review from North Korea
"Good and helpful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No mechanical problems have occured.
Failed illumination from the instrument panel. Problem was repaired by a mechanic. It was solely electrical.
General comments?
This car is manufactured in North Korea.
It was a gift to my family from the State.
I did not know to drive until I was issued this vehicle. The license program took me some weeks to achieve. The vehicle is built in a very modern process by the factory, so the construction is quite good.
Not much gasoline used, but gasoline is very expensive and it's difficult to get rations, so the vehicle does not get as much use as it could.
I have applied for permission to take the vehicle on vacation outside of Pyongyang with my family.
