The car itself is very comfortable and spacious. I have 2 growing boys who like the leg room. I am disabled and my wheelchair fits easily along with all our baggage.

2009 Chery Tiggo TXE 2.0 liter

Summary:

A poor investment

Faults:

The gears to shift from 2nd to 3rd are stiff. When I took the car in numerous times, I was told to change my driving technique, as you need a split second for it to go from 2 to 3.

Also the catalyst in the exhaust made a sound from the beginning, and the dealer said it's not included under warranty.

The car is a bit overpriced for its performance, and the trade-in value is a total loss.

General Comments:

If I had to choose again, it would sure as hell would be a car that keeps its value, which is not the case with a Chery.

My car is 2009 model Chery Tiggo 2.0 TXE. It gives me problems with gear numbers 4 and 5, which just lock. Electric windows are no longer functional. The exhaust is also a challenge.

When I try to trade it in, I am mostly told it does not have a value. So I am stuck with this problem from which I don't know how to escape, because indeed I no longer need it. Please help me.

I have a Chery Tiggo 2.0. We bought the car second hand without a remote key. Had a spare key. Drove well up until today. Had the engine done over due to bent valves. And now the car doesn't want to start. It cranks, but no start.

Can someone please help me with this problem?

Thanks, Anle.

Hi, good day, I have a similar problem with my Chery Tigo 2009 2l TXE. Did the motor over, now she cranks but won't start. Any help please.

2009 Chery Tiggo TX 1.6

Summary:

Great car for little money

Faults:

Great car in my opinion. The car had a few problems, but how many cars are problem free?

1. A small metal plate under the gear stick (it was difficult to change gears) had to be replaced. That was faulty, but it wasn't that expensive to do.

2. Catalytic convertor had to be removed, but I now drive without it. I had the exhaust system bypass the convertor (makes the car sound like a diesel, but it doesn't bother me at all).

3. The river flooded once (45000km), my whole engine flooded when driving through the deep water, but had it air cleaned (all water blown out of the engine) and it never gave any problems again.

I couldn't afford to service my Chery most of the times, so in its entire lifetime it only went for 2 small services, and it now has 145 000km and is still going strong (the warranty expired because I couldn't afford servicing).

4. I've noticed the Chery Tiggo in South Africa has very bad resale value.

General Comments:

1. Great on gravel roads, nice ground clearance.

2. Great to drive, easy to drive; my son learned to drive in this car.

3. Lots of space. HUGE boot and lots of space for everyone.

4. In my opinion, a very reliable engine with a very solid body.

5. I don't know how it is possible, but I never replaced any of the tires on my Chery Tiggo in 145 000 km and they are still legal according to SA requirements.

I noticed most people complain about the auto gearbox having major issues. I have the manual gearbox.

Great, great car for the money; it is well worth it.

Surely this writer does not actually own this car. I do not believe that ANY car can go for 145000km on the same set of tyres. Considering the overwhelming amount of negative reports, this writer is totally unrealistic in praising the virtues of this car.

I own a Chery Tiggo and have done 75,000 km on the same set of tyres, and they look in very good condition. I am sure I will get another 30,000 at least.

Summary:

Nice car, but now I'm worried

Faults:

On our way from Johannesburg to Cape Town, about 60km before Laingsburg, the water pump broke and hit the engine; pistons, valves, the whole lot were buggered. I cant seem to find another engine anywhere. The car been standing for a month now.
