That's a bit hard to come up with cause it depends of people's experiences and not enough data can back up my claims however I would advice not to buy a car in Gezina Pretoria you will regret it

[@lovingcars1144]

Remember from all these cars there are some people who have never experienced such problems but you should remember that these are common problems found on those cars so one in 5 people who buy such cars experience such problems. It doesn't mean ever single car will be like that

[@lovingcars1144]

Chevrolet doesn't produce great cars man it's why it pulled out of South Africa their cars don't last that long plus you will pay more on parts and their cars are out of production. Service is also expensive and is only done at an isuzu dealership. If you are really interested in one go for one with low mileage but I would advise you to buy a utility backie instead they seem to be more reliable

[@nigelmotshabi6919]

Looking for a used car and as a gent with my fair share of car troubles from Europeans and Koreans I completely agree with everything you said, but sometimes it's hard to find these Japanese brands with low mileage when you're low on budget. What's your take on GWM M4/Haval H1?

[@lovingcars1144]

Those were the earliest models of gem and haval was still trying to find its way on the SA market so Im not confident about their reliability mostly when you buy them second hand

[@noluvokameli1207]

Thank you so much for the information especially for the Suzuki swift, can you advise at what mileage does it start to give problems also which is a good mileage to buy it or what year model?

[@lovingcars1144]

Anything beyond 80 000 km is a no go

Helpful stuff, thanks. I am looking for economic bakkie to often move my printing equipment between towns, I was considering a Chevrolet Utility or a Nissan NP200, but I heard you mention that GM is now out of South Africa and Nissan has kind of been compromised by working with Renault, is there any other alternative or should I just get a small car and hire a trailer whenever I need to travel? I know of the Ford Bantam and GWM Steed but I'm not as impressed by their exterior and interior designs.

Bro just a correction on the Suzuki Swift and Baleno, they are imported from India which I guess they do to keep them price competitive in a cutthroat segment. The only model in the Swift range that's imported from Japan is the Swift Sport 1.4 T

[@lovingcars1144]

Noted brother thanks for the input the swift indeed comes from India.

[@Smojero]

Is it designed and engineered by indians or Japanese?

[@lovingcars1144]

Understood 100% but what many people fail to understand is that Suzuki itself is a Japanese brand yes the Baleno is assembled in India but it is a Japanese brand. Can you say the polo vivo is a South African car just because it's assembled here? No it remains a German owned company that's what I'm trying to say
