at least its got oem foglights, had to sourced mine from HK...
YRX didnt had a kit back when it 1st rolled out so i had to settle for a YRS with no foglights to complete the looks... |

What else in the same HB range? Focus HB, Astra HB, Mazda 3 HB, Lancer HB, Golf HB. The only 2 i heard with good looking comments are Mazda 3 & Golf which Mazda 3 is alright for me (that's why its so popular) and the Golf got the most classic looking in all range all time. The Corolla ZRE will definitely sit in the top of looking range alright! |

Speedz appears to be touchy about this subject. Trying to back up the Chinese cars eh
Just joking. Each to their own views. I'm up for Chinese manufacturing... I just personally wouldn't buy that ute.

Omg that's a better Yaris and that looks like a YRS equivalent. Wonder what the YRX equivalent would look like.
Great Wall Motors is such a crap name though. This post has been edited by Saj: Nov 5 2009, 09:44 PM |

Anything worthy of passing onto prospective buyers? he was happy with the price, in general he was unhappy with the build quality but remarked it came well optioned, but i think the real story will be told after a year of ownership or 80xxx k's |
