FAW V2 Owner's Review

[ahmadbilalchaudary]

Corolla ka engine?????

According to FAW manager.

[kashifjaved86]

Salam everyone. So my father is buying our 5th car, Swift, WagonR and faw v2 were the options. Cancelled swift cuz its a gas guzzler. Dad and i were both fans of v2, until he test drove it.
I couldn't go with him but this is how he explained.

Firstly paint quality was great. Design was beautiful as well, but coming to the engine it dissapointed him. A strange noise came and kept increasing with speed. Being positive dad asked the manager about it but he said it is common to all units. The engine is of corolla 2007 according to the manager. Brakes are ABS but very non responsive. Press whole foot down otherwise it doesn't brake, no match for swift/corolla brakes. The engine is china made. Dad wasn't impressed by the pick either. Claiming it was not better than a gli. Dissapointed he went to testdrive the WR, and it was decent,the brakes were responsive, the engine had nice pick from zero kmh. Better interior.
Now he has decided to buy WR and i don't know what to do bcuz that thing is ugly af. Should I trust you guys or my dads test drive?

1. Brother you are first one that is calming engine noise. all user are satisfied.
2. how you can say a 13" tyre without ABS and EBD Brake is better then 14" wider Tyre with ABS and EBD.
3. its engine is Made by FAW toyota. Engin of F16 also from china. its not a logic.
4. i dont believe logically becaus wagon R contains just 52hp@Rpm and produce 63Nm@rpm Torque and V2 contains 91hp@Rpm and produce 120Nm@rpm Torque almost dubble then wagon R so you can imagine its pickup.

Ples tel to our Respected uncle

1. V2 is more wider then wagon R
2. its body is more strong then wagon R
3. V2 has Safety feature, wagon R nothing
4. More comfortable seats then Wagon R
5. Built in Fog Lamps
6. Beautiful Shape then Wagon R
7. Much more Better suspension in V2 due to independent suspension, if you compare it with wagon R and Swift.
8. V2 4 dors Power windows, wagon R just 2 front.
9. V2 power side mirror, wagon R no power side mirror in VXL.
10. V2 is value of money. wagon R first you change Tyre, lose Road grip. vibration of engine due to 3 slndr
    nothing loaded feature in VXL pakag.

Prob in V 2

wind crossing noise after 80 Km/h speed it can be resolved.

Why don't you test Drive the V2 yourself.
Most of the users of V2 on this forum would not agree with your Dad's experience.

W.salam, bro with due respect I don't agree to what you have mentioned as I drive V2......drive it in city plus take it to long routes.....there's no engine noise as such.....some voice is produced by evry kinda engine that usually increases a bit whn car accelerates, same is the case with V2. The unit tht I've responds to brakes very well, whn i touch 60 km/hr or drive above the brake paddle just needs a touch......it really gives the feeling of getting stick on the road. The only bad thing which i came across was wind noise which i got fixed at an expense of Rs. 1500 by installing door rubbers.
I believe in the phenomenon "ur money ur decision", U know well about sub standard quality of Suzuki, rest decision will be yours......but in must say V2 will not disappoint u.

Checked out V2 today, Liked the look and feel of the interior, could not test drive it. so no comments. The paint had shades on it and the door closing was not what you would expect of a new car. Will be checking it out in detail before making a final decision. hopefully this car does pick up in market.

Which showroom you went? Is test drive available? Khalid bin waleed road wala tou gayab hogaya showroom pata nahi kahan

The profile and width of both rear tyres does not match each other. I presume that the guy is using the backup tyre (stepni) as one of the rear tyre.

Not sure if picture is clear enought but I spotted this v2 with rear left wheel in too much negative camber on my way to hyd

The tyre that looks wide is the tyre with damaged control arm with lot of negative camber looking wide due to image quality

[noman1881]

I think..its just the shade of wheel...it looks fine

Lol I tooked the picture myself due the very same reason of rear wheel being damaged

Today i saw my 5th v2 in khi.. It was with me from hasan square till empress market around 5km. Silver colorued, looked impressive. I really hope it goes on in popularity and people accept it as a worthy car. But i found the ABs and ebd sticker too odd - it must be neatly designed with some graphic and properly placed. Interior was nice too as i kept on peeking inside but, car is beautiful from front but not very impressive from behind.

You are so lucky...you got a chance to see V2 in khi...I commute around 30 kms daily...but I couldn't find any. ..

Well the sticker can also be peel out

Today i went to a mechanic and his kind advice to me was not to buy Faw V2 as it is china made. before my mind was set to buy it due to all features you mentioned above. confused again as Q mobile n samsung mobile.
