FAW V2 Owner's Review

[saboor73]

So Lancer is cancer? What do you suggest? xLI?

lancer vs XLI :-! lancer is 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 time better

[saboor73]

Is it a good idea to replace my current Lancer 2005 (in very good condition) with FAW V2? Honest opinion please. I am looking for a new car and my current car is priced at 850k max. I cannot go for a new car with this kind of money.

FAW v2 is a good car but replacing lancer not a good idea

In 800K I can drive a great Lancer, an ordinary city and an ancient Civic or Corolla. I am surprised you didn't suggest a Mercedes or an Audi which are also much better than any other cars in Pakistan.

U asked for suggestion...i furnished...rest plz refer above...your own choice what you wana drive.

Got Wagon R in June 14 . Quite satisfied . however if V2 had launched at that time . I could have opted for it even I knew that resale would create an issue but the car is very nice . Congrats who have bought it .

Dear
Am also following v2...its a quite better option in this price slab especially when we compare it with swift

Am also lancer 2005 user and in my sincere opinion donot compare lancer with v2 ...lancer is much more spacious n luxury although v2 have abs but still prefering v2 over lancer is not a wise decision..

Also good lancer is above 9k in market..

Hoping for V2 to be a success in Pak.

Yes me to Becoz i want to see competition in pakistani car market and reduced prices.
Faw V2 is such a nice car with nice reasonable price tag but people are saying that company will quit and they are china cars, there quality is bad etc.I have driven V2 and its drive is simply amazing. I wanted to buy it for myself but my brother was not agreeing .After one month when my brother himself test drove it he has given his consent to buy it and In sha Allah by Monday max I will have the car.I was also considering to buy swift but swift has a bit hard suspension then v2 and above all Air bags coz saftey is my first priority.Resale is not my concern. I want Pakistan auto market to be like India where there are plenty of options for buyers like Fiat , Renault ,WV , Skoda ,tata etc.Faw is the first company to launch there cars in such a tight scenario and they have experience in heavy vehicles too.Again I wish Faw to be a success not becoz i am buying but for Pakistanis whos lives precious and hard earned money is valuable. Will share my experience of V2 .

This car is miles ahead of local Suzuki in every way possible, the price tag is too good to be true for the features it offers being a brand new car, what else one needs seriously?
Yes resale is an issue but people like me who keep cars for several years, resale element is eliminated.

When we all would be buying these vehicles, resale would automatically be established and so spares in an open market

I want to see plenty of cars on road as i am still convincing my family and they will once the numbers of vehicles will be on road, no doubt the car is just great in all expects and way better than Suzuki , i tested the car and overall it was just great , good looking with stock rims and branded i think Hankook tires .

[xubair.ashraf]

Can the op or any other v2 owner share there current experience especially those who have kept the car for some time now. Need review about these points.
1. Performance on bit bumpy roads.
2. Cabin noise especially on highways.
3. Mileage after completing 5 to 10k on odo
4. Brake performance and stability at high speeds.
5. Maintenance costs.

Some major difference FAW have comparing earlier flops of Cheverlet joy, Spectra, etc is
1-FAW is a china state owned company and their investment of plant is result of a govt level negotiated investment with some surety that will be accommodated against big three in pakistan Auto industry
2-Due to Chinese Technology transfer agreement with Toyota and Ford give them good edge to use same technology and market it in the potential markets.
3- FAW is in good position to avail gap in Pakistan auto market between the range of 700k to 1300k

Still to get some major share in Pakistan they have to seriously thinks about below points

1- Provide a more low cost Variant of V2 in a range of less then 800k to attract Suzuki Mehran customer.
2-Provide good lease deals with different banks with low down payments and without markup for customers ready to pay 50% down payment.
3-Open there 3S facilities in every major district of Pakistanis for the sake of mental satisfaction to customers for after sale servies.

Sir...yeh AQAL agar inhain aa jai tu aur kya chahiye...All the absent minded Marketing staff still fails to understand these basic components of marketing....they even could not identify the reasons for failure of kia ...chevy...cherry ,nissan, mitsu...FAW is still following the same path which was followed by above mentioned companies..

[yasir121472]

I have recently visited a FAW showroom and they told me that as per visitors opinion they have sent request to FAW in china to launch V2 in 1000cc and another version with Autogear in Pakistan if they are serious to make it a success . Even they just get a under 1000cc Vvti engine with same other amenities like airbag, ABS etc can save big amount in custom duty and can passon same benefits to customers with a minimum 150k less price.
There are also rumors in market that pak Suzuki is already working to lauch Suzuki swift in 1197cc vvti engine like they have in india and also launch replacements of Cultas with 1000cc celerio.
