My Chinese Acquisition

[Nish_H]

For those that read my post on my Alfa thread, let me introduce you to my first experience into the world of Chinese motoring.

To summarise, my Alfa while a good car, did give me more problems than I expected, and the service received from Alfa left a lot to be desired. For general servicing they were ok, but once you needed something more due to faults it all went pear shaped.

So started looking around and again went left field and a new brand. During these times a lot of scenarios were considered but in the end I decided on a car that is cost effective, comfortable, practical and be able to take my family and I front point A to B, albeit in a “boring” way.

My new family car and daily driver is a brand new GAC Emkoo Executive Plus.
As expected, has all the creature comforts and extras and amazing build quality that seems really solid.

Different from what I thought I would buy or owned in the past but am ok with my decision.

Will give periodic updates on ownership experience.

Congrats on the new purchase. Pity about the Alfa, the Tonale is a looker.

Wish you many happy (yet boring) miles.

Congrats on the new ride! These seem to provide epic value for money.

Please do keep us posted on the ownership experience. It's always good to hear firsthand from owners how these hold up, as the (new car) reviewer don't usually provide too much long term ownership feedback.

Congrats Nish!

I'm seeing quite a few Emzooms on the road, they look rather sporty.

Wishing you many trouble-free miles..

Drove the Emzoom as well and it was a very good car.
Thought it was a bit too sporty for me. Maybe old age is setting in 😅

Preferred the sophisticated, grown up Emkoo for current use case.
