What didn't go wrong?!!!
1 - The two front side windows fell off their place.
2 - The power window electronic board is not working.
3 - The parking brake broke loose two times.
4 - There was a huge problems in the front suspensions and they had to change the front shock absorbers in the service center.
5 - Engine check light went on several times and I had to change the oxygen sensor.
6 - The brakes though ABS, are very very bad and of very low performance.
And many many other problems, the list would go on very long.
At first I was impressed of its sporty appearance, In other words, FOOLED by its appearance, a lot of problems in no time, the engine performance is very low and it is very sluggish, and it produces a lot of noise. I don't believe it is 110 HP as the company says.
The suspension is really a pain.
The service center has no spare parts and always postpone any repairs due to the lack of spare parts.
The interior quality is very poor and the cabin is not comfortable at all. For heavens sake don't throw away your money buying a piece of junk!!!
Sure the resale of this car would be a disaster... (A good advice : try a HYUNDAI MATRIX)!!!
Regarding the lack of power... this is due to the characteristic of campro engine (similar to Alfa's) which is high-rev. Max torque and bhp are at 4000 rpm. So if you want to have fun with this car... you should go full throttle... then you'll feel the engine coming to life. However, be prepared to refill you tanks after some time.
