If you will be buying a chinese brand vehicle which brand will you choose? Isn't it that some chinese brand have a tie-up with European cars? I'm not that familiar

i do not know yet, what brands are worthy.

chinese companies may have bought certain well-known european brands,
but i do not know what else they purchased, i.e., did they also buy the quality control, the R&D, etc etc?

For instance I did watch a vlog from Geely Okavangco and the vlogger states that the suspension is good and the Geely representative says that the suspension came from a certain Lotus? because Geely tie-up with Lotus so it could be similar with other chinese car brand

there's an ancient tongue-in-cheek joke,
"if it don't leak oil, it's not an english car".

i-consider ko iyong simple na Dongfeng Nanobox, since same factory ng Dacia Sping na madaming benta sa Europe.

Iyon ay kung may proper parts support sa casa. Maintenance parts may stock kahit nasa main PH warehouse. Ibang parts may part number, price, qty. stock, at order info kahit nasa China na plant. Tapos may order system na tied sa delivery partner na weeks ang bilang hindi months.

i think that's one reason why folks might be wary of taking a dip into the china cars pool.
the aftersales support. parts as well as knowledgeable mekanikos.

i mean,
what with the relatively cheaper price of china cars, i wouldn't mind owning one, if it were fairly reliable naman, and had reliable parts supply and knowledgeable mechanics to service them.

NONE ... Filipinos should not be buying China made vehicles ... Spratly Islands anyone? ... Filipinos should make it known that they are angry with the incursion ... have some pride ... there are other choices ... Korean ... Japanese ... American ...

Heck no. Why, are they way cheaper than more common (Japanese) brands with an extensive after sales support network and parts availability? I've looked at a few leaflets from some dealers and the vehicle prices are almost the same. Naku, even if the prices were 100-250k cheaper, no pa rin.

Kaya ko din naman "mag-kotse" as an enthusiast, and I buy my cars on cash basis, but pinag-iisipan and mahaba-habang usapan sa akin yan before I buy, hindi yung parang bumili lang ng candy sa sari sari store.

In my opinion, the people who buy these vehicles are either: 1) the super rich who buy and dispose lang after a few years of use (dispose as in sell off for scrap) and; 2) the profligates (i.e. those who spend money foolishly & carelessly).

Sound financial reasons lang basis ko, and nothing to do with nationalism or hatred for any country(ies).

Another thing to consider is how reliable are they compared to the Japanese brands.
