well,
my reason for not embracing china cars yet,
is my personal perception of its build quality.

Back on topic, i'd go for the Uni-T ..., but realistically its a toss between Territory and Coolray because of dealer network and sales.

I'd go for Fluke or Sanwa because of better parts availability and aftersales support, than the disposable Uni-T.

For now I would not buy any of these crossovers.

I've seen a lot of people driving MG ZSes. MG PH still sells the pre-facelift ZS that came out since 2016 (2018 in PH). As well as the MG5 sedan. That is a bit dated already.

I say sometimes when I saw an MG ZS on the road was "built by a state-owned chinese car company, with a British name on it."

That's why nilagyan ko lang ng OT yung answer ko baka masita ako, hehehe.
I just want to share my opinion because of what they are doing right now.
Also, may intent then yung post na parang pinopromote lang Chinese crossover car which also triggers my post hoping to sway others not to patronize them.
Common perception din yung quality which also reflect some of the posts here. So at least maiba reason for discouraging these brands.

OK sana if not specific to Chinese cars lang yung post, then at least the posts intent is not promoting chinese cars.

Medyo OT na po ako.

are these now made in china, along with all the perceived, right or wrong, qualities therein?

when our made-in-usa (now-vintage) multitester finally conked out after over a decade of (ab)use, we got a then-made-in-japan sanwa.
when the interest waned, so did the instrument. (i am still wondering, which among my brothers, squirreled it away? heh heh.)
i now use the cheap small china-made multitester that i got from shoomart for less than five hundring bucks, for my ordinary needs. bulb... battery... shorts... opens...

obviously, ibang crossover ang pinag-uusapan...
heh heh heh.

I was afraid to buy China cars because of the reliability issue, but when Ford slapped it's name on it and sold it at a lower price than the Japs, I thought it was worth a gamble. Fortunately, I am near 3 years already and I have no major issues. Mahina lang AC nito.

... is the aircon uncomfortably mahina, especially in the hot noonday sun,
or is it just mahina, for the sake of comparison?
