The Truth behind Geely ownership from the owners after 3 Years

[@arvinsheet]

I have a friend who owns a Coolray and had an accident. Not really sure how long it took for the repair to finish but during the repair, Geely gave them another Coolray for them to use while waiting for the repair to complete. Nice.

Three years owner of coolray here. Somethings I will point out with my experience… 1. In my ownership, I had one problem during my first year. A component of the steerimg wheel broke which resulted in the car losing its honk and sterring wheel control of radio, cruise and dash setting. I still could drive but we decided to have it towed (for free since it is still included in the warranty). The parts took 2 weeks but they still took additional 2 weeks to install because they did not have the program needed and had to consult Chinese manufacturer. This was during the pandemic with lockdowns going on. This is something I knew (although not informed by my agent) that could happen. We had a Chevrolet car when it was still new in the Philippines. It had suspension problem and took 7 months for the parts to arrive. Still its a little bit concerning since the steering wheel problem I had was uncommon. In our family owing many cars (we had taxis before), this is the first time we experienced such problem. Adding to it, this is a less than a year car. So far, I had no other problems and was satisfied with their response. 2. I think their customer service is above average and better than other dealers. Although during the first 2 years sheduling for maintainance is a hassle because of low number of casas. It is now much better. It is also relatively cheaper and I feel like their staff are much friendlier. 3. As for the performance of the car, I only have one issue. Because the engine is smaller, I noticed that in eco mode you will slip down the hill when idle. This is even if I have no cargo or passenger. The engine is powerful enough if you are using it in normal mode and very fast enough if you are using sports mode. If I am going to buy onto geely again, at most I will buy the coolray or the emgrand. They all have the same engine and it is weak for a larger vehicle. 4. For fuel effenciency, it depends on how you drive it. When my brother drives my car, he gets 6 to 8 km/L in the city. When I drive it, I get 10 to 12 km/L. I definitely got more efficient in driving it. It is still more gas chugging that my vios. 5. For a little more than 1 million, it is a really a good buy. It feels like a 2 million plus car. My 3 years old coolray has better tech than the new ford everest of my brother. 6. If you’re going to finance this, it will have higher interest rates compared to other cars. Even my bank manager discouraged me into buying. The banks will offer more favorable terms for other cars than this one. Do I recommend it? I probably will not because it is still early to say. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. It is still the best buy for its price range. I am still more satisfied with my Coolray than my Vios. If you are considering cars from Geely, test drive one. Be sure to know that there will always be downside to owing these cars.

Update since Geely have a PR problem right now. I have been twice to Geely Makati. The casa is almost open and more like open parking than a typical casa from other brands. My first time with them I had my walk in pms. I had no problem but they advised me to schedule next time. Last month I had a problem with break lights. I saw in their website that they are open during Sundays. I tried scheduling on the website for a Sunday. Nobody texted me or followed up. I figured I should just show up. Their casa in Makati was closed. North Edsa is open during Sundays. They gave me a number to text for scheduling and I did that but still no reply. I just walked in the next day and I was not in the appointment. The problem with my car is a little rubber for the mechanism in the break pedal. One of the staff told me “Ah ang tagal din po before napalitan noh? Buti inabot pa ng 3 years.” In my mind, we never had this problem with other cars. Is it a common problem? It seems to be in coolray for her to comment like that. Do other dealer just change that regularly during pms without me knowing? Anyway it’s free.

Ang Sukatan ng reliability ng isang Sasakyan ay length of time na walang Major mechanical issue at Hindi ka Ititirik sa daan. Sa US standard ay One hundred thousand miles or 5 years Pagkatapos noon your on your own. Bakit 5 years lang? Dahil yon Lang Ang Engineered durability ng engine at Transmission.. After 5 years things start To break down. Most important is the Regular oil change every 3 months or Every 5 thousand km. Toyota can last A very longtime provided you maintain It very well. My toyota avalon 2003 Have 131 thousand miles and it still Run very silent and fast.

[@mindfreeze0838]

This was a good initiative Joo, its really helpful hearing from actual owners, especially those with over 20k on the clock, those persons can best tell you whats up with a vehicle more than a review or test drive can. Common bit of data i found interesting, most persons were coming from a Fortuner, on one hand its a downgrade(in terms of vehicle size) but chances are if they sold the vehicle to buy the Geely they would have come out with a nice surplus to help with the purchase and bring down the loan quite a bit without sacrificing features just space which most people wont mind that much.

[@SoJooCars]

Thank you!~~~~~~

[@XGlite015]

Now this is good content, feedback from the owners themselves. Good to know that Coolrays are reliable 3 years since it launched. Mileage is important and more than 30k is already an achievement. Any vehicle as long as you take care of them properly will last a long time regardless of the country of origin or brand. We used to have a 2014 Hyundai Eon, not a very durable car with high quality parts, but it lasted 6 years with us with only 26k mileage before we sold it. Never had any major accidents or any parts replaced, just oil changes and battery. Coolrays that never had issues, especially the 2019 models, are proving their quality now. One youtuber, CARpenter's Production has a Coolray that is already at 70k mileage.

And as a small update: The owners are right: You getting a lot for your money. But for example the Changan 1.5 fuel consumption is a joke in the 21 century. 7km/liter in the city? That’s 14.3 liters / 100km. That’s like a V8 consumption. My 2017 Jeep GC used 9 liters/ 100km with a V6!

I drive a toyota but man seeing other people aggresively dictate what car they should buy is very embarassing. I mean it's their money they do what they want with it. These kind of negative attitude makes us toyota owners look bad to others lol. These grown adults are acting like children. I can guarantee you not all of us toyota owners are like that.

[@scionrazer]

+1 Exactly. I've had Toyotas in the past and no doubt they're good and over-engineered, but totally bland and bare IMO. But then I've also had Hyundais and they were good, too. I had a Chevy and my experience was bad but that doesn't mean others will experience the same. If you take care of your car, it will take care of you, regardless of brand. Similarly, if the car isn't right for you, your experience will not be nice. We are the sentient being not the car, hence, we have the capacity to adjust while a car doesn't. If the car were sentient, it probably wouldn't like you either, if you're not the right driver for it hahaha.

It's basically just their version of a Volvo and it has both it's cons and pros. Just like Volvo, you can be assured that it's good fckkkn tech you get and is worth your money. The bad news is reliability since, just like Volvo as well, tech can fail and even Volvo tech can fail from time to time and no, it's not because it's now Chinese-made unlike what most detractors will say but due to Volvo being too complex than they should be. but it's not just Volvo as well. This is basically true for every manufacturer especially if they have tech in their cars. Hell, just look at the Euro cars like BMW, Volkswagen, Peugeot and many more. They're waaayyy too overly complex and have errors and failures that would make Geely's faults look like a mere stumble. And let's not forget some manufacturers who cheat on emissions tests.

[@occultdestroyer]

Geely has been selling cars in the Middle East and certain countries in Europe for years before they even came to our shores. Geely cars have been tried and tested for their reliability. The only major issue rn (in the Philippines at least) is parts availability. But when it comes to reliability, Geely cars are just as reliable as Toyotas and Mitsubishis.

[@dickmelsonlupot7697]

[@rayuuna8028]

[@scionrazer]

at the end of the day, it all boils down to maintenance, doing your research and being a good driver that respects their vehicle. parts delay affects all brands specially if it's a part that rarely gets broken (probably from our own negligence without us even knowing it or from unfortunate accidents). parts availability is a matter of systems, process and numbers. For new brands in our country, there's not enough historical data to go by so let's not stop other buyers from buying their products so they can accumulate the data and improve their parts availability then. All the big brands started as new brands we which we have tagged as new and unreliable at one point in time. Let the buyers choose themselves. Sure, for some it's in their nature to stick with the old and reliable but let those that want to test the new ones choose freely without hate or prejudice.

And if you dig in a little deeper, some of those panels are actually manufactured in mactan cebu. =) People have done this in the past. I remember there was a time when korean brand cars were mocked. I used to be one of them. Now korean made suv’s are sometimes more expensive than the more established jap brand. China’s manufacturing prowess is recognised globally. believe it or not, china manufacture parts that make a table stand to a rocket that is launched to space. Let’s quit the whole ‘’china made’’ stigma. They are here and they are here to stay regardless of how their government is. Let’s just appreciate the fact that car’s like coolray is here to prove a point; Toyota and other established car brands in tge country, are ripping us off with the idea of ‘’parts availability’’ and selling their cars at premium prices but giving us subpar cars at the most.

@@thebennnn For parts, it's to be understood that they're still too small hence their supply line isn't that big yet but for Geely cars abroad, they don't have this issue.

For your PMS, that's normal pricing and isn't really that expensive. It's even far cheaper than if you get a Ford or a Nissan PMS. Fuel efficiency is understood since it is intended to be a "racing car" but one for the masses and with good performance since you *CANNOT* get good power without sacrificing fuel efficiency.

I bought shares in Geely in the 1990s just after they went from making refrigerators to making cars. My profit in the stock at one time was close to 1000%. As of today(Aug, 6, 20240), it is 875%. I would love to buy a Geely or their Terrafugia(flying car) if they ever decide to make it. Besides making autos, Geely is big in AI and in battery development. If they make a hardtop convertible and can sell it in the US, I would be their 1st buyer. P.S. Geely might want to make an eScooter similar to the Twainese Gorgoro eScooter. Geely is now working with Nio in terms of battery swapping for their EVs. I also own stock in Nio and in Xioami EV car brands. P.S. I have made and posted over 60 music videos on KZbin with many having the lyrics on the screen in both English and Chinese. I used Google to translate the English into Chinese....so please forgive my errors with the Chinese lyrics. One of my favorite videos is, "Butterfly Lovers as the original Chinese Romeo and Juliet".

test drive and compare the quality of jap cars vs geely ones.

@@geraldmonton83 Reliability isn't accurately gauged in a single test drive; it's assessed over five years of consistent performance without needing significant part replacements, only routine maintenance.

Nice content, bro. I got my Emgrand a week ago, and I'm still in shock. I dreamed of owning this car last year, and I told myself I would have it soon. Now that I have it, I'm satisfied with the comfort and the technology it offers. However, I'm still a little worried about parts availability in case I experience issues, like other Geely owners have reported. I will join this club soon 🫡

I have my geely it was released on feb 2, 2024 at north edsa branch and now geely north edsa is closed . Now my geely coolray has an overheated on aug 2 , 2024 it was only sux months i used the car . Ngayon ayaw ng geely iwarranty dahil meron daw natamaan s ilalalim pero natural lan dahil ginagamit un car the under 11:08 cover was slight broken not to major . The service personel told that the oilcooler was affected . Hnd daw pwd malubak ang coolray . Ano klase kotse to . Until today hnd parin inaayos

Its rebadged as Proton, model X70 and X50 I think, here in Malaysia. Owners have same issues. Spare parts. Most customers believe its Protons sloppy supply chain thats causing the long delays for replacement parts. Didnt know Geely as a whole has this issue.

[@yonyon8670]

Coolray is a different breed. Its fast yet cheap

[@robibilic2494]

I can't understand why Geely cars don't have DAB radio or at least RDS. Basically, you don't know which FM station you are listening to. You just see the frequency. Mobile phone mirror is also bad. They have car play but not Android auto. It is easy to upgrade for Geely.

[@alspeccoffeesessions1420]

Bottom line is resale value. No matter the technology placed into the car or the bang for the buck as they say, all of that won’t matter when it’s time to sell it for pennies.

One of my friends planned to buy a Gellly car but a friend of him who owned a Gelly car discouraged him to purchase because his friend experienced bad service to them imagine it takes more than 3 months to wait on particular parts for replacement to damage.

[@dickmelsonlupot7697]

that's the same with Ford and some other dealers here especially if it's a part that they don't have in stock on hand in their dealership or just bad handling by your local dealer.

[@benedictt2246]

Toyota raize owners also had same issue with collision parts, some are waiting for months already for part replacement

[@an2ny2100]

went to geely dealership to checkout okavango. at yun, sira na ang interior sa 3rd row na arm rest. natanggal na yung leather. tsaka parang ang cheap ng door handle. yun lang naman na observe ko. pero as far as space. ang luwag. comfortable ka talaga from driver to 3rd row. kulang na lang roof rack para sa karga nyo :D

[@dickmelsonlupot7697]

there is no "armrest" on the 3rd row of the Okavango or any car with a 3rd row (unless of course we're talking luxury cars or customized vans). That alone is proof that you're lying. If you mean that thing you can lie your arm on the side, that isn't an "armrest". That's a side panel. And the 2nd row doesn't even have an armrest as well and it's only the 1st row that has them. and all leather products will be torn to shreds or break if the occupants are pieces of shhhttsss who don't take care of anything and aren't mindful with what they have especially with sharp objects on their body. Leather isn't Kevlar or titanium that will barely get a scratch if you don't do anything. All leather products will degrade in time and will degrade even faster if it isn't well maintained

[@an2ny2100]

@@dickmelsonlupot7697 yes the side panel/rest or whatever you call it is what i meant. it''s broken means it's not durable for that short time of usage. no need to cry about it or get angry about it. i have never experienced that in other cars so that means something. no need to get butthurt or spew some bad words to me. just stating my experience

[@benjielucerojr289]

Sa pagbili ng kotse, hindi lang features at kagandahan ng sasakyan ang dapat isipin. Isama rin ninyo ung maintenance at service. Na kapag may nasira o kailangang pyesa na palitan sa sasakyan na binili ninyo, kumusta naman ang serbisyo ng GEELY COMPANY sa Pinas? Ok naman ba? Kumusta ang pagpalit ng pyesa? Madali bang makakuha at maka order o aabutin ka ng dekada at hindi mo magamit ang sasakyan mo dahil walang pyesa at patuloy kang nagbabayad ng iyong monthly amortization? Kapag matagal at dekada ang aabutin bago ka makapag palit ng pyesa, kahit gaano pa kaganda ang features ng iyong sasakyan, tyak ma sstress ka at magsisisi ka at bumili ka ng naturang sasakyan. Dahil una, hindi mo magamit at nakatengga, at nagbabayad ka buwan buwan. Lugi ka. At dapat mo ring isipin kung ang pyesa ba ay mura o mahal. Tandaan natin na kung sabihin man ng iba na hindi naman madaling masira ang sasakyan at depende iyan sa gumagamit. Kapag nasa kalye ka, kahit anong ingat mo sa pagmamaneho, kapag ang katabi mong sasakyan ay hindi maingat sa pagmamaneho ang driver, maaari ka pa ring madali at maaksidente. Tandaan po natin na sa isang aksidente o banggaan, mayroon po dyan na palaging mali o nagpabaya at hindi naging maingat at may isa namang naging maingat ngunit nadale. Hindi lahat po ng nadadawit sa aksidente o nasiraan ay masasabi nating sila ang may mali at hindi naging maingat kaya nagkasira o nasira ang kanilang unit. Depende po iyan sa sitwasyon. Ang punto ko lang po dito ay ung after sales service ng auto company whether ang sasakyan ay naaksidente man o hindi. Hindi ung kung sino ang may kasalanan sa pagkasira ng sasakyan. At kung sasabihin naman nating may insurance naman ang sasakyan. Still sasakit pa rin ang ulo ng bumili nito kung walang mabiling pyesa o matagal makakuha ng pyesa at nagbabayad ng monthly ung tao sa sasakyan at hindi niya magamit. Iyan actually ang problema ng Ilang car COMPANY sa Pinas. Ung kanilang after sales service. Tanungin ninyo ung mga nakabili na nasiraan o naaksidente, kumusta ang kanilang sasakyan kung naka order ba sila agad ng pyesa o nagawa ba agad ang unit nila kahit ito ay under warranty pa. Natural sa mga bumili ng Coolray na hindi pa nasisiraan, lahat ng maririnig ninyo maganda at positive. How about naman doon sa mga nasiraan na? Tanunginn ninyo sila regarding after sales service. Kung maganda ang after sales nila, tyak maganda rin ang maririnig ninyo. What if kung hindi? Mag dalawang isip muna kayo bago kayo kumuha at mag desisyon kasi baka magsisi lang kayo balang araw sa bandang huli.

My churchmate bought okavango around 2021. 2022 nadead yung battery so medyo lumaki consumo sa gas. Up until now, walang replacement for battery.
