As a Chinese person- these things are driven by elders in rural areas- 3rd or 4th tier cities. Old folks can get away with these without a license, and police can't really do anything about the recklessness (The concept of throwing a 70+ yr old bloke into prison for operating a motor vehicle without a license doesn't quite work in my country, unfortunately.)
(Edit: These were absolute piles of s**t when they were new. They are "like" cars in terms of styling and shape, but that's it. Slightly warmer than a bike was the whole point of these things. Some are still made today, but they are gradually getting banned in cities with higher population.)
that sounds like a great time to get drunk and watch the action unfold on a friday night
I would think police in China can do whatever they want.
@@jefferyepstein9210maybe as Americans we are so propagandized we don't have a clue about the rest of the world

And why would you admit to being Chinese. The worst country on this planet... The Chinese will be the downfall of civilization
Everyone should drive a real POS every now and then, just to appreciate what they have.
Reminds me of the original Yugo's... About $1800 US...
Shoot, my car’s rusting away and getting so bad that the rear axle is held on by hopes and dreams, but after seeing this one I really appreciate what I have.
I really appreciated the LADA my uncle had in the 90s after dealing with a couple of these...
Fond memories of my late 70's Caprice Classic that belched smoke from the carburetor on a daily basis. Bertha broke down on the pike one time. But she was a tank.

I've learned something over the years. If you WANT to hate a car, you will. If you WANT to love it, you will. Every running car is an engine with 4 tires. It will get you around.
I learned that the hard way when I was down on my luck, some idiot totaled my car, and I was stuck with a two-hour bus & train commute for nearly a year.
I stood in the freezing rain at the bus stop one night staring at an absolute beater that was sitting at a red light. Just thinking “I bet it’s warm, dry, and safe in there.” Saved up enough to buy my own beater and loved it to death for years.
Now, I’m a spirited enthusiast, so my cars are more than just A-B appliances to me. But when someone needs a car to get by, anything will do and they definitely appreciate it. There should be a lot more affordable and basic cars available for those people.
This will only get you around your yard. It would be illegal to operate on the street.
Sometimes you love a car, but the car itself makes you hate it . Such is the case with anything shoddily built by Communists 🤣🤣🤣
@@user-fi7hw3ly4u The Chinese now build good cars for export , check out BYD anc Geely and Nio ,Xpeng , these ard BEVs, and are World class and imported by European s and compete with German made cars, be careful what you say ,They might put Toyota to shame, and out of business.
Old man-tier wisdow on this comment. Mine has always loved the original morris minis, he recently got to driving one again and said it was like driving a lawnmower, even when compared to his newer 3-cylinder yaris. But this did not stop him from loving every second of it.
Like my old friend Bill used to say : second class driving beats first class walking
I knew a bill once, I couldnt piss six feet in the air without getting wet
Your old friend Bill was very smart. Cars were originally meant to replace a horse and buggy. Now they are just ridiculous Tech Toys. And oh a VW Bug, that car that satisfied millions of people over many decades, well it just wouldn't do nowadays, just wouldn't do.
@@kyleb3754 I agree, I'm all for technology, but sometimes it trips over itself, and when there's a lot to go wrong, the chances of something going wrong increase exponentially. It's funny how when man finally perfects something, he throws it in the trash due to the quest of making himself rich.
Keeping in mind the reliability of this... thing, with it you're likely going to experience both 😂
This is actually not true at all, and if you think it is, you haven't enjoyed first class walking!
It has a strut bar, no catalityc converter and no door panels. Definitely a racing car ! 😀
Fewer cylinders = weight reduction!
that chintzy strut bar is cheaper than a catalytic converter
You’re spitting pure facts. Look at that racing fuel door! You don’t just get quality like that unless you care about performance.

I had a 71 Honda AN600. It was a 600 cc 2 cylinder air cooled motorcycle engine. First one with transaxle. It was fun to drive. It would fit into the bed of a 1/2 ton. They were chain drive previous years. This was Hondas first cars in U.S.. Which became the Civic. It looked like a Mini Cooper. Drove it for 2 years for fun.
I drove one in Australia for 3 years . Such a great little car , even got blue lighted once. The cops were having a laugh.
The Honda 600 would be a 53 year old car now. Rules have changed. It couldn't be imported today.
Also like the Honda Z (Zot) ??
I always wanted the Z600.
Maybe Honda built quality was better compared to chinese.
At least it's not a Cybertruck.
They managed to make the Reliant Robin look like a BMW in build standards, truly incredible.
That thing will never last as long as a robin either!
Chinese ingenuity folks.
At least they are honest. You wanted a cheap vehicle/ and they did their best to fulfill your request.
@@luckyguy600 I think that's the same tire size that was on 1970s Renaults.
i'd rather a reliant robin or 3 wheel messerschmitt , NSU, Morgan , than that ,
At least a reliant had a 4 banger
In the uk , Ling Long tyres are known as ‘Ling Long ditch finders’ due to their superior ability to slide around in even the slightest amount of rain. In fact if you say the word ‘water’ whilst driving on them then you will end up in a ditch somewhere!
This is the first time I've seen 12" tires on a car , lol
@eaglerider1826 Original Mini had 10 inch!
@@marioreali5925 Thanks , The smallest I've ever seen on a car was 13" .

First generation Honda Civic had 6x12 tires.
For around the city travel and it's either this or the bus, I'm rocking this all day. It has to be dirt cheap to run.
Long as it gets you to A point b without becoming a death trap you're good.
It's a death trap as soon as someone with a real car decides to ram you.
Wow! This thing makes the Yugo look like a prestigious upgrade!
It longs to be 1/2 the car a Yugo is!

Ahhhh this looks like a yugo. As in yugo where this car can’t
No matter what it is still transportation. Back in the early 70s I’d buy a $100 beater with rusted through floors and bald tires. Still got me to work in the snow.
My first car was a 1978 Dodge Arrow GT. (standard transmssion). The only thing holding it together was the rust and a coupla rolls of duct tape. Drove it for almost 2 years before it kicked the bucket. Now almost 40 years later I drive a Mustang. Vroom...vroom.
I don't understand people that just b**** about everything because it's got a two cylinder engine I take it in a minute and fix it up and drive it to the store at least, bitching over and over about the Gap in the door who cares
Don't forget the venerated Honda 600 wasn't much different than that
It's double overhead cam look at the plugs and the valve cover
Yeah, but our hoopties were _American made_ hoopties, made out of actual steel. I once bought a Pontiac Tempest for $50 and drove it for four months til the transmission shat the bed. Then I put the seats in my Nova.
You'll never get a speeding ticket, save fuel and get a free shower when it rains. 🤣
If the price was right I would buy one. My wife could use it to go to the market. We live in a small village and only go a few blocks. We use a motorcycle every day but don't go out if it rains. I bought a scooter for my wife and she rode it a few times but is scared of falling over. She drove a golf cart once and loved it.
It would be great as a shopping buggy. I have driven far worse cars than this. Would like to chase it down bare foot. Drive it for 10 hours and you are 250 to 300 miles down the road. (I would be afraid to take it on a fast traffic road a village would be great thing to have.) He is being bit to harsh on the vehicle it’s $1000 or so new not a BMW.
I wonder if a "mower deck" is a factory option?
Nah, that's too high tech... besides, it wouldn't work anyway XD
With this thing's turning radius ?
@@biketech60 yeah, it's perfect for edging the perimeter of your yard XD
I was thinking SUV myself/ or a Camero-style pickup that is all the rage these days at the Hyundie dealerships. but a mower option for the front is a splendid idea.
Love the moon roof too when your out on a date and you want to impress your new squeeze
The back seats don't really suggest hanky panky/ so a Motel 6 is still your best option. Just saying ...
Eh? EH? Nudge nudge say no more, say no more!.
I doubt it has enough horsepower for even a reel mower
I enjoy the sunroof that opens toward the front so it acts as an air scoop!
You will also enjoy the bugs on top of your head
It's probably needed to blow all the dust away that comes through the vented doors. Thats how rally car roof scoop works.
A necessity going down a steep incline in the winter I would say.
Open it at speed and the sunroof turns into a hole in the roof.
It’s an air brake
I actually want something like this just because of how unique it is and for its “bare-minimum-functionality”
That was probably a decent little economy car when it was new. Especially with the little 2 cyl. engine. Not every car is worthless just because it doesn't "gotta Hemi ? " .
In a wreck , install PALLBEARER handles on the sides !

My friend used to have a Chinese pick-up truck similar to ones that Honda used to import into the UK back in the late '70's. He had an electrical problem, tried to get hold of a wiring diagram, he ended up with three of them and none of them matched his truck. Ended up selling the thing, and made a loss on it. What an hilarious little car. I think Gelly built this car. They also own Lotus and London Taxi International (or whatever their called these days). The Chinese are coming…
This car looks like it’d be safe to just drive around rural or city streets. It doesn’t go fast enough to merit more structure for big wrecks and has enough crumple to protect from small ones. I was impressed it wasn’t just riding on leaf springs and it seems pretty structurally solid for the speeds it is intended to go.
That air filter looks like it's made from a WW1 mustard gas face mask.
😂😂😂
It's adapted to chinese air polution standard 😂
Wow... It's like a car you would buy from Wish. In fact, I'll bet that is exactly what it is. It is a disposable car that doubles in value when you fill the tank.

While stationed in Okinawa I drove a 1970 Toyota Publica, 2 cylinder air cooled engine, front wheel drive. It WAS a tiny car but reasonable roomy for the front seat. Rear seat more suited for small children or packages. Standard transmission, floor shift. Listed as First, Second, Third and OT (or Out of Town), Gas mileage was terrific. Top speed was approx 40-45 but since the speed limit on the island was never above 50 it suited. Buddy of mine had a Subaru 360. 360 cc two cycle engine in the rear. For the location and usage they fit the bill. Would not mind having one here for just in town use, would be folly (suicide??) to try them on the highway.
A friend of mine has a Subaru R2 with a supercharger on the twin cylinder engine and while it can do 80mph without much trouble i rode with him once and its absolutely terrifying 😂
That daylight you can see through the doors is the actual air-conditioning! Works well from 30mph upwards.
Who needs vent windows when you have built in vent doors !!!😂😂😂
If you can get going that fast
Try calling your supplier and ask for a price of a rear main seal for it. See what kind of a reaction you get!
Imho I think that little red beater deserves a little more respect. It really ain't that bad if you were actually able to take it for a.spin. Someone obviously removed the door panels for unknown reasons, so when the thing was brand-new it must've been in much better shape. It's way underpowered compared to what we have in America but that doesn't mean it's useless in other parts of the world where regular people actually use them as commuter cars.
i'd drive this thing around all day here in germany. locked at 45kmh, this thing would be dirt cheap to maintain. Would cost like 50 bucks of insurance a year, a galon of fuel will get you like 60 + miles. nothing for commuting hundreds of miles but to get to and from work each day, i'd love it. i already have a few daihatsu cuores in my fleet though, so small cars are a bit of a hobby for me.
As others have said, third class driving beats first class walking
That looks like a future mid-engine Suzuki Hayabusa project , throw out the back seats and make it a live axle "DEATH MACHINE" 😂
If you added a chrome exhaust tip to it, it should, in theory, go faster.
A chrome tip would add at least 20,000 horsepower.
What it really needs are some flame or tribal decals from Auto Zone...
And then add some "stick on" Buick portholes down the fenders...

That's what I came to the comments for.
i didn't even see that. had to look back twice
Pretty sure the car makes it look bigger than it is!
I like to consider myself something of a tough guy. Stoic if you will. Very few things freak me out let alone get even a reaction out of me. Well, I've rewound this part five times and I think the audible gasp I let out gets worse every time I see it. Thankfully I'm up in Wisconsin. Yeah the wind hurts my face, but it keeps rodent sized spiders away.
Spiders are awesome!!! They eat the real creatures that we dislike in life!😃
Ray It starts with a pull cord like a lawnmower. Lauren has a great sense of humour 😂😂
The prototype 2CV (French Citroen, designed to be a simple car for rural use) had a 600 CC engine with a pull starter next to the steering wheel. The design specification was that "an elegantly dressed woman" should be able to start the car with "2 or 3" pulls. This was in the late 1930's, so not having an electric starter or battery would significantly reduce costs and maintenance.
Be sure to sharpen the blade every 1000 miles.
Wow gold star for properly reading the tire size.
This makes more sense than some of the newer vehicles!
Reminds me a bit of the Tata Nano. These vehicles are not designed for the US market. Throughout rural China, India, Indonesia, Thailand etc, it is common for the "Family car" to be a 90cc scooter. There are millions of families in that situation. Not uncommon to see mum, dad 2 kids and some luggage on a motorbike. This vehicle is a next step up from a motorbike.
Your "like a moped scooter" analogy is on point. In many parts of Europe, cars like this are (or were) available. They have limited registrations, and are not allowed on highways. They can be operated with a limited license and most of the ones I remember seeing were driven by older folks on limited incomes in rural areas. They aren't much, but it beats walking or riding a moped in bad weather.
It's really for drunks with DUI to skirt their license revocation
@@dougsrosen maybe in the US but European culture is different when it comes to intoxication. DUI are likely to carry a more strict sentence than it does here in the US where it can skirted like you said.
@@tstokemb I've seen articles of pensioners in the UK using these to avoid insurance and not having a license from DUI.
I've seen people riding sooped up disability scooters to avoid DUI's
There was one that is really popular with the Dutch even smaller than this, it really only fits one person (though it's advertised as being able to cram two in) and is a moped on four wheels in the truest sense.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

As an engineer, I see nothing wrong for the application, on a budget and actually preety damn well engineered
Same here.
It is better than a bicycle/ motorbike during winter.
I'm an engineer as well but life and well being is worth more than $20K premium and potential long-term costs to society. I'm sure this piece of junk is well-engineered with energy absorbing crumple zones and lack of air bags would lead to death or serious permanent injury even in a minor low speed crash. Worst that could happen is driver could survive and then society is burdened to spend millions on a lifetime of care while the El Cheapo owner contributes nothing to society.

Man the lack of door panels reminds me of when my dad and I were trying to fix the window on the car and we ended up shoving a wood in to keep the window in place after making it worse and drove it like that for months waiting for replacement parts that we didn't deem expensive. Ours was a bit more luxurious since the plastic door opener thingy was still attached to the bar.
Wipers were optional on this model so this is obviously the luxury model. There should be a set of bells and whistles in it somewhere… maybe in the trunk if you can get it open.
The first muffler under the car is usually just a resonator.
My old Subaru Justy was a 3 cylinder powered car that was 60 hp and actually went up hill. This little car made mine look like a luxury vehicle.
my bud had a justy. we always made the joke..
"he has justy nuff car to get to work"
The last muffler is resonator, first is cat, second is muffler third is resonator..
My brothers learned on a 3 cylinder Justy. His classmates used to prank him by picking it up and turning it sideways in the parking spot, so the two people opposite would have to pull out first so he could leave school.
All the same, it was 4WD and never got stuck.

I just lost my best friend of 20 years this last weekend and I drove his 2023 GR Corolla to his funeral. We done lots of upgrades on it. It is now almost 400HP. I had to give that car at least one good run for him. He was a car and motorcycle guy. Also big time into guns. I got his little 2023 GR Corolla up to 150 MPH on the way back from his funeral. He never has maxed it out like that so I had to see what it could do. He liked going fast on back roads i only seen him hit 125MPH in it. I had to show him what it could do. He was so proud of that car. I really take pride in my work. He only trusted me touching his cars. I also did work on all his cars. But the GR Corolla was the fun car. The man always told me I was a genius. He will be missed.
The Gr Corolla is a 1.6 Three cylinder and we got almost 400HP at the crank.
the 2024 Buick Envista has the same 3 cylinder engine, but the size is 1.2 liter. It is a crossover, but it is affordable for the price point. This car cost 22,000$, 25,000$ for the St version, 29,000$ for the Avenir version, which is a top model offered in buick
@@kevinhamlett1400 But I am a lot more impressed of what Buick Envista is able to do even when equipped with the 1.2 liter 3 cylinder.
People who drive that fast are responsible for many deaths.
Your friend was a piece of crap and so are you. I don’t need to know either of you to know you both are reckless idiots risking your own lives and THE LIVES OF OTHERS driving like dumbasses. The streets got a whole lot safer after your friend died.
Put some weatherstripping around the doors & enjoy probably 40+mpg. Looks reliable to me. I honestly would get a kick out of a lil car like that, working A/C is Awesome. It has plenty of pick up I’d say. It has Aluminum wheels. That big spider around the 18:50 mark is crazy!!! Hope it’s not poisonous
Many years ago I owned a Fiat 850 spider. Because the engine displacement was just short of 50 c.i. it didn't require any smog control equipment. This thing reminds me of the Yugo.
If there ever was a candidate for an LS swap, that little tin can is it! 😂

That's what struck me. Either LS or monster rotary.

Yep, great for learning stickshift as that tiny engine will give great feedback, letting you know if you are doing it wrong. Throw in some uphill departure. Great for learning.
I remember falling into the chinese micro car rabbit hole about 5 years ago when I went to Roanoke, VA and spotted a small 4 door 3 wheel car which turned out to be a "Wildfire WF-650", a SD650ZK that was imported to America and rebadged after it arrived in a small dealership in Ohio. This company also sold a taller 4 door, a pickup, a pickup with dump bed, as well as mopeds and small electric cars before moving on to sell small houses on trailers. The engine parts were surprisingly easy to find since a company called Joyner also sold buggies with the same 650cc engine which is also readily available to this day (if you're willing to spend 1.4k on a full drivetrain)
The cars are so poorly made, but they seem fun to mess with when they're new. They're so barebones, it's probably a fun way to start working on small engines and even electronics since the fuse boxes are easily accessible.
That looks a heck of a lot like my wife’s car has Chevrolet Matiz sold here in the UK. Yes I’m watching from the UK. It’s an 800cc car, but it does have catalytic converters AC remote central locking all electric windows, alloy wheels and can do an excessive 60 to 70 miles to the gallon. Great for tight little roads here in uk.
Yeah, it has its flaws, but matiz is actually quite reliable and fun to drive.More spacious than an aygo and far more cheaper to run. My dad had one, when were still owned by Daewoo and that car drove places.
Matiz are fine, chinese copied the shit out of it 😂
Yes I remember having been given a Matiz to drive when they where made by Daewoo as a courtesy car. The worst car I have ever driven. I don't know if Chevy have improved the car since they bought the car division of Daewoo, after the firm went bust. It wouldn't have been hard to make improvements.
there maybe a cat under the manifold cover as there is on the matiz..
@@DavePocklingtonThe Chevy Matiz is as bad as the Daewoo. Zero refinement, most uncomfortable car I've ever driven.
It is funny to watch the front end dip and rise with each gear change though but that's it. Better off taking the bus.

You could unbolt the engine, carry it inside and rebuild it on your kitchen table!
Wouldn't need to use the engine hoist either
Ray you are such a hard worker. I been watching your videos since the beginning for years now. I hope only the best for you and your family.
I had an NSU Prinz 4 from new in 1964. 600cc air cooled rear engine 36bhp. Total weight about 1000lb.

Nope, it's the super light racing model.
This type of 'car' - often known as a quadricycle is common in Europe. Under 400kgms, max speed 50 kph and max 15 kW power. Often used by elderly people as motorised shopping trolleys and, in France,can be driven from age 14. Given a wide berth by conventional drivers but very ecologically sound because in a collision they just leave a pile of carbon fibre which is simply swept up. 😂
I'd say how common this kind of vehicle is heavily depends on where you live in Europe, though. I've maybe seen two or three in my life.
I almost crashed into a VW Golf that was limited to !6! km/h, though :D

I just sold my 1991 geo metro convert with the 1000cc 3 cylinder & special high mpg 5 spd transmission got 55-60 mpg @ 65 mph all day long, 75 mph top speed it gave me 5 trouble free years Only drawback was the 13" tires, very hard to find and a chinese Lo Wong Dong tire 13" tire was more expensive than a 15" michelen 70k radial.
Congratulations, for being a stereotype
Nice thing is that you probably can fit four of these at least in a two-car garage :). Thanks for the video.
It’s like a Jim Walter home, it comes 70% finished and the customer has to complete the build
you save tax on unfinished home taxed only at 70%
Maybe waiting for the next "part of the month"...
From a car of the future (the DeLorean with the time machine parts) to a car from a dystopia (rural China)...
What a journey!
It's like a scooter because so many Chinese cities have banned 2-3 wheelers from their main roads. It's a prestige thing for the city for everyone to be in cars. Result is 4 wheels built to 2-3 wheel prices.
Not only Chinese cities. I'm currently living in the Philippines, and most cities ban 3 wheeled vehicles (that includes a motorcycle with sidecar), from city centres or main highways. Stick 4 wheels on it, call it a car, and you are good to go.
Love how nobody is talking about the MASSIVE spider at 18:50
Large garden tractors have a two cylinder engine. They also come with a mower deck and larger tires.
Ray you missed the massive spider on the passenger side back wheel before you inspected the missing bracket lol
That gave me the heeby geebies.
Yep, brown beastie @ about 18:38
Is that a native spider? Looks like a true giant.
He is very lucky not to have been bitten when he put his hand up there.
I jumped on the comments to warn future Ray about the spider.
As someone that likes to turn shitboxes into rally shitboxes, this would probably be end-game worthy.
Greetings: The S models have the added features of mower deck and the draw string back up start system. Thx 4 the share.
I think it's derived from Daewoo Matiz, the rear end looks similar
I knew a guy who had an old junk Ford Fiesta, he took the pull starter assembly from a lawn mower and bolted it to the top of the hood. Got a lot of strange looks, the true car people laughed and gave him a thumbs up. By the way Ray, the switch says Autofog lamp. Educated guess would be fog lights, no frogs involved. Why did you connect the ground terminal first?
I was looking for this comment mentioning the ground cable
Hoping for a fire, causing hundreds of $ of improvements?
The PT cruiser that Ray worked on a while back is looking better and better now. 😅😊😂
😂
For real!
Ermmmm......
No 😂
@tradde11 still no 🤣
@tradde11 it does, but, still better than a PT Cruiser 🤣
That might fit in the back of my Yukon XL....then I can back it out on ramps, Knight Rider style, when the mall gets packed during Christmas time. Park far away, then shuttle it up close. Similar to how a Cruise Ship ferries you via Tender (life boat) to shore.
We have finally found the car that every horror movie teenager drives when needing to escape!
It's not even like an "armored golf cart". It's more of a "golf cart plus".
A golf cart with the right gearing can BEAT THIS JUNK STOCK.😂😅
That's an insult to golf carts.
I mean the a/c and heat are the only plus.
Plus what? It's got nothing on a golf cart.
I think golf carts have better tires & brakes! 🤣
The one good thing thing about it is that it sounds kinda fun. It's basically a 4 speed go-kart x3
Its better than walking ... 🤗
And if its at a price that someone can aford nothing wrong with runing what you can 🤗
I gotta admit, these were reasonably priced cars that included the auto frog light feature. Revolutionary for the time.
I remember when the first Japanese cars started to appear in the USA. That was 1967-8. My neighbor brought home a Datsun. It was a universal object of derision. A generation later they shut down Detroit.
Remember the Datsun 120Y- people calling them a Datsun 120-WHY?- but the Japanese knew the game - gave you heater /demister and gave you a AM/FM radio.... thriw in Japanese reliablity!....An we know the rest of the story !
More people should drive cars like this. May force them to drive better. Ac heat and a radio, what else do you need
An ashtray.
That's all my civic has. I'm shocked it has power steering. I love it
I prefer my BMW. Mine is easy to work on & maintain myself. Has all the cabin features i could ever want.
That was crazy. Lol. Thanks for the video!!!!
I had an old VW bus and the owner's manual actually stated to turn off the A/C when climbing hills. That was your speed limiter on the highway.
The size of the spider at 18:51 was nearly bigger than the wheels. Lol
Nasty looking fkr too
Bet it was imported with the car.
@@Alasdair-Morrison Nasty? That's tame by Florida standards. I certainly wouldn't place that bet.
AC on a 2 cylinder, your lucky theres enough hp left to drive, I'm surprised it didn't just automatically roll the windows down when you activate the AC
roll up for speed
It is used as a brake boost!
I installed AC onto the three cylinder Geo and it barely had enough omf to get out of its own way. Then there was the chevette diesel with drum brakes, would not go, would not stop and barely made cold air.
Many years ago my sister owned a Datsun 210 that had AC. When you switched on the AC you'd think the car was just kicked in the junk.
A/c = fan and open window
Seems more reliable then a new chevy cruze.
Greetings: A kit car. It arrives mail order in boxes. "Some assembly knowledge required". Thx 4 the share.
Sometimes, its nice to drive something that reminds us here in the USA just how much we in first world countries actually have, in comparison to the rest of the world. Just think, in some poorer countries someone who can afford this thing is probably the envy of the neighborhood.
Its all relative....its vastly better than walking and will keep you dry in the rain.
Did you notice the gaps in the door , slicker suit in wet weather a must 😊
That car is decades old. Just take a look at what nio, xpeng, changan, avatr, haval are pushing out bruh
The US import market would slap an MSRP on this of $19,000. This car isn't much better than a Mitsubishi Mirage
I'm betting, when it rains, you would stay drier riding a bike.🤔
@@charlestaylor8566
I was thinking that maybe...
Just maybe if it had the door panels on...
Maybe it had a piece of weatherstripping on it???
I think it might be from Guangzhou Auto, possibly one of their old offerings under the Gonow branding. The logos don't look like anything currently in use but I get the feeling that this thing has been sitting around for a couple of decades based on the amount of rust underneath on something that has never been driven.
I was thinking Geely. ✌️
It's a 2019 so probably hasn't been sitting around very long
@@MrUbiquitousTech No paint under car RUST
@@graemehutchison5696Numbers mean things, 2019 means it hasn't been sitting for decades.
No, the rear logo implies GAC Group. The steering wheel logo looks like a cross between GAC Group and Foton (GAC Group has had many subsidiaries and manufactured vehicles for Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, etc.)
Many of these subsidiaries have come and gone over the years; presumably this vehicle is obsolete or discontinued within the past few years.
This type of car is for pensioners; they give away their nice car to the grandkids so they can have something decent for college/starting off their lives.
This car minimizes expenses, lasts a few years. When the owner passes away, either someone in the family will take the car or give it away to another pensioner.
The car doesn't need to last forever; just longer than the people owning it. Then it either gets chopped for parts or scrapped like a disposable product to make a new disposable cheap mini-car.
Looks great!
I love these types of cars.
