2006 Chery A516 from Egypt - Comments

Now I am trying to sell the car, but the price is low because the people know that there are great problems with the car, especially the suspension. Also, I live in Zagazig where most of the streets are hard, and may affect the car, so in Zagazig this car has a bad history.

I'm the original poster.

I've travelled 37,000 km in the car till now.

Here are the problems I faced.

1-AC filter gettes cloged every 5000 kms and I have to clean it at the dealer

2-the glass is very white so the sun rays really heat the car, the performance on the AC would be much better if the glass was a little tinted

3-the clutch is heavy and does not act regularly. you can't leave the clutch once you change a gear, you have to accelerate a bit 1st with the clustch half pushed and then leave it. this is seriously hurting my knee in heavy tarffic.

4-the speedometer stopped working for 4 months until the dealer got me a new sensor to fix the issue, now the car shows 37,000 while I travelled almost 45,000.

5-the dashboard light keeps turning itself off at night. I know the problem is a losse connector but the dealers couldn't fix it for 3 visits now.

After all these complaints, I beleive the car is...GREAT!

I know it has a lot of small faults, but the dealer is fixing - or trying to fix them.

It is very stable at high speeds. I regularly reach 150 kms in the ring road (i live in 6 october and work in tagamo3 el khames new cairo, I drive 130 kms per day!!!)

the car is very reliable and not once did it not start or breakdown.

The fuel consumption is average, on ein sokna road in averaged 230 kms per 20 litres with AC.

It is VEEERY roamy in the back seat. my wife and mother love the room their.

This is not a refined car, it is a rough car. it shakes a lot in bumps and potholes, but it withstands them and doesn't break down, and I ve taken a lot of bumps.

I actaully bough a renault sceneic automatic to rplace it, but I eneded up selling the scenic at a loss and kept the speranza.

The car is a great driver car. very maneouverable, but with little refinement.

The driver seat is not very comfortable, but not that bad and not that differednt from the scenic.

I'll keep it till it falls down, or my knee start to really hurt, which ever is sooner.

If only it had a softer clutch!!!

The car is very good, stable and quite.

Till now i made 10000km and it is good.
