I have changed all the inside for few money and put all the steel tubes in front, back and sides, like a "jeep", dark glasses,electrical windows,good audio system, looks good, not complains so far, but of course, in a big city, it will not look such good bargain... I am waiting to see the new Qashqai come to the local distributor to get a better check, and maybe around April buy another( If Wife agree) , either Nissan AoTing Diesel, or Kia Sportage,or Qashqai, but our Mianbao, will keep , because can take 7 passengers plus driver, comfortable for short trips ( i said comfortable because i am not in the rear seats jumping ,hahaha) regards and keep going!

I asked him what I thought of it, but it appeared he was of Eastern Euro heritage and his grasp of English was not that great. He didnt realize it was a British car, but hats off to the man for driving one, good job the windows were limo black.

It is not because we want to do away with you, or want the wife to fight with you. It's for your street cred. And it's because we want to hear about the trials and tribulations of ownership. . I don't know any foreigners driving a real Chinese car. Go for it! Which one you gonna get? Ash, I really think you ought to buy a Chinese brand, Chinese made car.
