Judging from the looks and specs, the Chery A3 is arguably value for money for would-be buyers. They won't regret it with this choice!

Exhibitor's rep. says it comes with tested local designed/researched eng. with main inputs from Chinese engineers & 2 employed foreign consultants. I wud buy one if I lived in China all things considered.

Not something I'd personally buy, but it's rather acceptable for this budding industry. . The plastic looks surprisingly "soft", even around the lighter. Still, I'd have to say it's probably close to 10 years behind the Japanese firms...
