      I think you are right mate. To be honest I was hesitant originally but after test drive I could not justify a 70k vehicle for what I use it for anyhow. Just ticked over 15k and not questioning the purchase at all. I hope you love it as much as I do, sure you will. Stay in touch and let us all know your opinion 👍👍

      I only drove the cannon on the insistence of a friend.
      There is very little justification for what others are charging and when they see their market share fall to cars like cannons they will have a rethink.

    I went from a 4.0 L Ford Territory and bought one of these I must say I was a bit concerned about being a 2.0L but it’s quicker than the territory, it’s a bit more rigid but for the money it’s good value, The DPF burn self cleaning light is a bit of a pain coming on regularly, once I had the spanner icon come up so I did the manual burn which fixed that……the next day on the freeway it starts self cleaning again. Apparently there is a recall on something about the head rest the crash test dummy didn’t approve LOL and my clock just changes time whenever it feels like it I think that’s just an update for when I take in for its 2nd service, also done 13,000 k’s on mine 👍

    • @TheRobMarkby

    Update on dealer. I moved to a new dealer in Melville. Autostrada were just really bad at their role. I found the new dealers service and care much much better.
    I still found GWM's response to my concerns less than expected, but from what I understand most manufacturers are poor in the warranty space. This seems to be an industry wide issue and will only change if there is much more customer pressure to do so. All in all I'm still happy with the vehicle of course, and any negative I have reported has nothing to do with the current operation of the Cannon X

      @TheRobMarkby  2 роки тому +1

      No issue fitting the catch can. ProVent are an excellent brand and come with all you need. As far as warranty they said nothing but truth is when you fit aftermarket items they would have to prove that the part was responsible for any damage and as a catch can simply takes crap out and stops it being pushed through your intake into the cylinders, it actually helps your engine and stops carbon deposits building up and choking the engine performance. So I don’t foresee any issues. 🤙🏻

    @TheRobMarkby  Рік тому +4

    I own a Cannon X with 30000kms. I have always been a supporter of the brand until now.
    I went to the dealer Autostrada in Western Australia, for a service and had them look at a minor warranty issue for a delaminating park brake button, along with recalling for the headrests to be replaced. This work was booked in over a month prior to the service date.
    It’s been over a year and when going to book my 30000kms service I enquired again as the the park brake and it turn out that even though the dealer told me it was warranty and would be replaced they had not even ordered the part and not submitted a warranty claim to GWM/HAVAL. Not only this they did not replace the recall item on the headrests. When I approached GWM/HAVAL HQ I was told it’s my problem and they have nothing to do with it. So basically, your on your own.
    Ok so you might think this is a dealer/service department issue but can you imagine if this was a larger warranty issue and this was the support you expect to receive.

    Hi Rob, well done on a down to earth review by someone uses the ute as their daily drive.
    I am very tempted to purchase one of these utes however, one of my primary concerns is the apparent lack of air conditioner performance as it can and does reach 40 degrees Celsius on occasion in summer where I live. You are not the only reviewer to comment on this - just wondering if you could expand on your overall view of a/c performance? Thank you.

      Hi Ian,
      It reaches 40c here in WA often enough as well.
      I ended up putting a high quality dark UV resistant tint over all windows and use a front window reflector. The air con works as well as any other now. I think it was that security glass that GWM use was not stopping any sun/UV or heat and with a good quality Scotch or 3M tint you will definitely not have issues, well it fixed my concerns re air con.

      Interesting question Shucky Nana.
      What are these lane keeping issues you talk off? I mean I don’t use it and it’s a pain to turn off every time the car starts but apart from that my understanding is that people who like to be told how to drive think it works relatively well.
      Gearbox calibration. Now I understand that when accelerating from a stand still slightly or totally heading downhill there is some issue when it comes to changing gears at times. Apparently there has been a software fix. I’ve at times experienced this issue. I asked at the 15000kms service and they said there was a fix in the last update but it did not work as well on the Cannon X version. I have no idea why. Apart from that the gear box has been very very good. Will there be more updates and patches, yup no doubt, this is the way of modern vehicles, so much software, so many updates, to expect different from different badges would be foolish I expect. But if you are having issues I am not aware of mate please tell all you know as more information the better for other who may experience these or other issues. 😀

      I would not think the standard Cannon would work well as it lacks adjustment options that the X has. Importantly the steering wheel. So if you look at the X variant I think you would find it very accommodating.
