I saw an advert for the amazing new Haval H6 2-litre softroader SUV on facebook, and assumed that for $30k it must be an absolutely awful hunk of Chinese rubbish about equivalent to a Great Wall of Rust ute.

But then - Getrag duel clutch transmission would be alright wouldn't it? At least until the rest of the car falls apart around it?

Wouldn't expect much at trade-in time.

Yeah, you may pay more for a Toyota initially, but you keep more of it when it's time to sell.

Why would the trans last any longer in a Haval than they've lasted in various Fords?

aussie wheels magazine have coveted them a fair bit, reports are encouraging. Maybe a turning point in acceptability of Chinese Utes. They've designed and made them for export to fussier markets, and like other product are proving they can do it to a high export standard when needed. Ask China for cheapest crap and you'll get it, ask for top shelf and they make it.

As long as you don't plug your Pink USB charger into it, that should only be done in a Toyota Hilux.

They actually look not bad and great price. But the build quality especially for rust would worry me. Depreciation ot as much because you are already starting with a price point less than rivals.

Chinese cars are getting there. 5 to 10 more years and they will be the new Kia or Hyundai.

Ouch holden must be spinning when a Chinese SUV beats the Captiva in a review!

The ANCAP rating will be interesting to see.
