Car Profiles - Chery Fulwin

CHERY FULWIN

If the Chery QQ3 targets the i10/Wigo buyer, the Fulwin attempts to grab buyers from their Mirages and Fiestas. While the specs are decent enough (leather seats for just 700k), we would worry about Chery's questionable quality and after-sales support.

The Good: Features for the price
The Bad: The ownership experience is bad

Price Range: P699,000
Our Rating: **
