FAW V2 Owner's Review

masoodalamfarooqui (masoodalamfarooqui) 2016-05-25 15:44:53 +0500 #2802

I have just returned from Saudi Arabia. In Arabian auto market Hyundai (Korea), Faw (China) and Geely (China) are very fast capturing market as they are providing all option cars at the cost of standard model of famous Japanese or American brand vehicles. Though FAW came late in Pakistan with fewer models, hope to see their automatic transmission car soon in Pakistan as Euro4 standard automatic vehicles are highly fuel economical.

So, you made a wise decision, myself may be following you in near future.

So I finally made my Father agree and bought this beauty.
Now you guys are gonna get the first owner's review I guess
I've driven it for almost 500kms now.
First talking about the drive,its beautiful and wonderful.
The acceleration is just freakin awesome.
I asked a friend who has 2013 gli to have a little race with me just to check the acceleration and I was amazed when the gli couldnt even catch up close :')
The ABS brake is quite responsive.
Although there's a little play in the paddle(if play means you have to press the paddle more).Bit the ABS WAS QUITE RESPONSIVE
The suspension was also wonderful.
I just felt of it like my dad's corolla.So comfortable that I'm totally satisfied.
In the interior there's ample seat for a person like me (6''1' tall) on the front seats and the people on the back can also easily be entertained.
I didnt have a usb so I borrowed it from a friend for a bit
Usb played well and the two speakers did the job for me although I like high bass but they're perfect for doing the job .
The steering is very easy to handle.
The only issue I had was that it took me almost a day to get used to the opposite positions of headlights and viper knob.
The plastic of interior as some people said isn't really cheap but the color sometimes make it look so in high sunlight.
The grip of the car is amazing,just like a JDM as I'be previosuly owned a JDM.
Why did I buy it?
I had to buy a car now and my considerations were cultus,wagon r,used vitz and passo.
It was quite difficult to make a choice.
Pros:
The car is brand new unlike JDMs,it wont make me go to the workshop again and again,even if there's anything wrong,its the company's headache to solve the problem upto 50,000 kms.
It has dual airbags as compared to cultus and wagon r.
Power windows,power steering,ABS which are not there in cultus.
The drive is very smooth.
It is way more powerful as it is 1300cc and I could not get any other 1300 cc new car in this range.
Cultus and wagon r didnt werwe totally waved out of my mind after V2.

Cons:
Uptill now no resale,but I am hapy that they have set up their plant in Karachi and they say they will be starting its local production in 2015 which means they are here to stay and make a name in the market.
Spare parts although available all over Pakistan in 3S dealerships but not in open market uptill now.

I was able to convince myself that these cons are nothing infront of the pros so I finally decided to take it.I'm loving the ride untill now as its beautifull,sexy and a good performer.I'm sharing the pictures .I'll sooon be getting its body kit made aswell.
Anything else you guys wanna ask me,you can.

Edited: 6th November 2015
Ive used my V2 for almost a year now and I'm really satisfied with it.My brother has also bought a v2 after my experience in white color.
He is also enjoying the ride.
I would recommend anyone who has a budget of 1 million to go for this car.
My brother got this Financed from JS bank.
We're loving it

I visited a dealer a few days ago and he told me that the buyer has to pay a withholding tax as well which is Rs. 40,000 for non-filers and Rs. 30,000 for filers..

Yesterday visited centaurus and there was a v2 and xpv for display purposes and checked v2, guys it's simply amazing , compared to cultus it's way much better and regarding vitz it's on competition , interior color looked ok no complaint and quality was much much better than cultus , dashboard quality was also good though not supreme of course, one of the very stylish speedometer , initially I thought that green color of lights will be boring but it was awesome , regarding door closing sound it was better than cultus and totally acceptable , if the rubbers are installed I think they would be much better. Overall better than cultus

It's the same car which the FAW company displayed at the Lahore Auto Show.

I got it after a great hassle from the company and had to pay extra amount for the Body kit
