Car Profiles - Geely LC

GEELY LC

Formerly named the "Panda", this Chinese car can rival the QQ when it comes to cuteness especially when you see those paw print inspired lights. For below 300k, you get power amenities, ABS brakes, and airbags (last two items for GL). Quality and ownership experience a big question mark for now.

The Good: Practical and cute
The Bad: Reliability is dubious

Price Range: P220,000-P250,000
Our Rating: *
