Faults:
I had to have one of the headlight units replaced not long after delivery, condensation was getting trapped inside. This was repaired without charge.
Otherwise the car has been very good.
The 1.3 litre engine is not very powerful, it will not reach 60 before 15 seconds.
General Comments:
I like my car very much. This is the first motor car I have owned. I have had two motor scooters before this, but have finally managed to save for a car.
Although it is far from what is driven in many western countries, my car is a very desirable object in rural China. Although the engine is very slow, it has proved strong so far and has never let me down.
The cars interior is made from very cheap materials and is not very spacious, but is more than enough for my wife and I. Mine is the basic JL6360B1XH (T) model, but still has features like electric windows.
This car is MUCH cheaper than the foreign cars in China like Toyota and Honda. I paid about $4000US brand new.
My car does not have power steering, airbags or ABS, so does not always feel very safe on the icy roads, some are unpaved. The car also manages to start even when very cold (-20), although it may take two or three times.
I am quite pleased with my Geely overall, I hope the company continues to grow so that westerners might experience it one day.

I am an owner of Geely car, I can say that:
Geely cars are the worst ever, their service center are very bad and have the worst technicians ever.
I advise you all not to buy this car, even it is cheap.
