    From the front it looks a little like Chery’s V2 (S22) sans the roof hump.
    Am wondering whose product this is technically? Word has it that Stile Bertone SpA had a hand in it but don’t know if it was a threesome or not, i.e. Suzuki-Chang’he-Bertone.

    estos carros chinos son de mala calidad y para colmo no hay stock. de repuestos por lo que embarcarse con uno de esos es un verdaero dolor de cabeza. tengo en guayaquil ecuadorun ideal 2. que al mes de comprado se le rompio un asta del ventilador rompio el radiador y comenzo a subir la temperatura. la compania “mecanosolvers” para parchar el problema me lo arreglo (ahora me doy cuenta) cepillando el block y ahora a los 60000 km. que el carro pierde potencia me entero del hecho, y para colmo estos infelices no tienen repuestos ya que no van a traer mas carros de esos y yo estoy enbarcado con una deuda y un carro que no sirve. sus partes son una sola vida mo puedes arreglarlas. debes cambiarlas, claro si encuentras las partes

    This is sold in Uruguay as the EFFA IDEAL, and it costs almost 12.000 U.S.Dollars

    Its nice and well equipped but its quality is less than a brazilian Chevrolet Celta

    And there can be problems to get spares with a chinese car, but we uruguayans sometimes drive to Brazil to buy spares for locally produced cars

    It was the first of the affordable chinese cars the Effa Ideal, but a more interesting purchase would be a microvan like Wuling or TongBao,and having extra seats installed

    Those vans are usually less than 10.000 dollars and pay less taxes here

    Miren soy de uruguay y hace ya un año que me compre un effa ideal 1.0 el unico problema que tuve fue con el sistema de cierre a distancia de las puertas lo cual me fue solucionado inmediatamente en el service oficial de Agustin Benitez, yo entiendo que seguramente debe de aver autos mucho mejores que este pero no se olviden que tambien las grandes marcas japonesas tiene sus problemas tecnicos en estos momentos.
    Yo estoy mas que conforme con el ideal , pago poca patente el seguro es bajo y no gasto nada de combustible no tengo miedo de pner nafta jejeje es muy muy economico , yo por mi experiencia personal lo recomiendo , mis amigos me decian por esa plata te compran un lancer usado , pero del 97 , prefiero un cero con dos años de garantia que donde uno lo cuide mas va a durar, muchas veces depende en las manos de quien caiga un auto , en fin me lo volveria a comprar.

    (Português)Esse carro é muito fraco e aqui no brasil esta muito caro! Existe carros melhores pelo mesmo preço. A suzuki melhorou o carro da marca “Effa” mais em compensação aumentou muito seu preço final! Esse carro não vale o que eles pedem… ¬¬
    (English) This car is very weak and here in Brazil is very expensive! Is there better cars for the same price. The Suzuki has improved the car brand “Effa” more compensation has greatly increased the final price! This car is not worth what they ask … ¬¬
