Remember I am just asking for feedback on the vehicle. I do not own one. But I bet it can kick your A$$ any day

the only thing i see wrong with the great wall is not an inherent problem but a circumstantial problem and that is after sales service.

if parts could be found by foreign used dealers or by normel auto parts places, like the other brands of vehicles then i good for it.

[lighthammer]

while the Wingle may be a favourite of some in here,

it has to be agreed that every manufacturer has weak points in every model.

seems like the Wingle's weak points are inferior components used in the body parts, like the headlights

they have engines made by isuzu so they have that as a strong point

suspension parts kinda in d middle of the road

just for information but the Wingle received 2 Stars in crash tests



The tested model of Great Wall Motors V240 was introduced in Australia during 2009. Dual front airbags and antilock brakes (ABS) are standard. Electronic stability control (ESC) is not available. There are no advanced seat belt reminders. There are no approved top tether anchorages for child restraints so this vehicle is unsuitable for transporting young children.
2 Stars. The V240 scored 2.36 out of 16 in the offset crash test. The passenger compartment did not hold its shape well. Protection from serious head and leg injury was poor for the driver. There was marginal protection for the head of the passenger and chest of the driver. The passenger seat belt failed during the offset crash test. Even if the passenger results had been better the driver's score would have still limited the V240 to a 2-star rating. The vehicle was awarded a default score of 16 out of 16 in the side impact crash test. However, the low offset score meant that the vehicle was limited to a 2 star rating and an overall score of 16.49 (the maximum available for a 2 star rating).

Agreed here all the way.......My dad bought the Sailor from MRampersad 4 years ago this month, he paid 105k on the road and i must say he got 10 times his money......It was bought for the reason of transporting workers with him to construction sites and it did that and more.......if he even sell this now for 40k which he would get it's a TCE series he still came out on top....

I can confirm he had some issues but nothing to talk about, he never took it to a good diesel mec so after 2 years of so when it start's in the morning it will not idle good, it remain like that up to now. One door handle broke on the outside, interior not holding up but still in ok condition.....all in all he got him money worth.

............besides guys in here have navaras ,hilux, rangers, that have more resale than a new wingle so go waste some one elses time with your rant

[claries]

fellas take it easy let the wingle owners prove themselves on the next side b run

[sliderz1]

^^u know they never show up............

[lighthammer]

All talk no action....
action speaks louder than words.

Let the wingle come prove itself.
Like I said before, if a wingle comes and makes us eat our words, so be it.. I'll take mine with slight pepper

We'd still make fun of the silly name, but at least it would have proved itself


Imagine a wingle come with a 2.5" lift kit and a set of mickey thompson rims and BF Goodrich Mud Terrain 33x10.5R15's, snorkle and winch bumer + winch.... you know how much fellas would come and gape at it?

heheheheheheheh.



** edit

Case in point: A guy in Australia modified his wingle with a gas-engine. ARB bumper, snorkle, skid plates, and mickey thompson M/T tyres.

Look at the instrument panel, touch screen LCD!

LOL, so when will the wingle owners of T&T bring them on a run??

[top secret]

The reason we aint show up yet to a run , is because we dont have to prove anything to any of you.......thankfully some of you guys actually live in reality.........

WOW plenty vigo,s and navaras IN THE PAPERS FOR SALE TODAY BOY..................
