Car Profiles - Geely Emgrand EC7

GEELY EMGRAND EC7

For those who want a Geely but prefer something big then there's the EC7. It may have a Mitsubishi engine under the hood but we'll be cautious about its reliability for the long term.

The Good: Features for the price
The Bad: Long term reliability
