  Not sure about lobo, but personally hafei is not as bad as what people think. Its true, that the service/management suck ass big time. But who cares, I love the car and its easy/cheap to fix! Also is a very cheap car to start of with!
  
  So far, I have clocked nearly 3,000kms and no mechanical issues. Just some minor issues i.e. wiper motor connections & alarm.
  
  So yeah, if you want to beat waiting for a cab under a rain or queing. I think hafei is a good and cheap alternative

  WHATTODO,
  
  come on post a picture of your car with the today's newspaper or something.
  
  we don't know if u're just bullshytting that you really bought the car or not or you're just another chinese communist trying to invade singapore lands.
  
  who knows, you're just someone who knows how to talk real big online lol.
  
  be friendly, a word of advise. stop flaming everyone, try to see things in a different perspective other than your own ... perspective.

  I see a 1983 corolla parked under my place, the owner still drives it regularly.
  
  24 years old.
  
  I also see plenty of old honda civics, 90s corollas, and old bmw 3s running around.

  Well I who say anything about driving for more than 5 years. Once the 3yrs warranty is over, I can peacefully scrap and change car (without lossing considerable amount of $$$).
  
  Well if you want to drive your old car for donkey years..fine with me

  Really? you mean I am not as friendly as you? wow... Why would I want to listen to your instructions? If you want to see my car, join our hafei club and we can all meet. Who knows, you might even end up buying one...rather than be like some people here unfriendly and flaming at my dear Hafei
  
  Oh word of advice, this forum is not for you to racial discriminate "just another chinese communist trying to invade singapore lands" (not amusing).

  i nvr demanded, i merely asked if you mis interpretted my intentions but its okay.
  
  i really wonder how old you are, your education, your background, and your occupation. the way you express yourself really confuses me. i though drivers shuld be matured instead of .. please show a little class or standard that's because you're a adult and driver but oh wells come again, i think you may never understand what im trying to say. its okay again.
  
  i will never buy a china made car until their safety is of acceptable quality which is comparable to other countries make. don't assume please. i will prefer bmw, bus mrt and walk.
  
  btw i'm chinese too so that isn't really any racial discrimination or stereotype, just that i'm not a SUPER pro active china boylike what you are and doing right now. in short china boy = CB

  PLAGARISM!!!
  
  Maybe he want to prove that not only china cars copy others, even the photography watermark must also copy..
  
  But don't worry vanquish, everyone knows which is the REAL DEAL and which.. is the 'pirated' version from communist-land.

  this car already has no value when i bought it...when u buy old cars its either u like the car or u just want a cheap mode of transport...and honestly i doubt your car can last for 3 years most prob u're gonna get fed up with it and eventually sell it...
