Yes a Chinese made dct is the most scary thing about those cars. When Germans and Japanese couldn't make dcts reliable, the Chinese sure as hell couldn't.
One other damning thing against Chinese engine manufacturing comes from Chinese motorcycle engine reliability. Not directly comparable to cars but shows Chinese engine manufacturing prowess and tolerances. Only Chinese cars I'd trust are the ones coming with foreign reasonable brand engines and transmissions. Btw is any Chinese car in pak coming with CVT or regular autos?
