Good on FC, Pricing but no for power | Posted on 05 Nov 2008 |

What I like
Price and fuel consumption
What I do not like
Defect parts. Underpower engine. Geely should use modern VVTI Totoya engine with more HP and torque for this kind of chassis

Bought the luxury model as the styling is better compared to Chery a168.
Alas, thing started to fall apart though are minor yet annoying e.g:
water sip through when i send the car for car wash and the sensor door light was soaked and auto unlock after you lock the car.
Engine overheating and radiator fluid flushed out - found the radiator cap is leaking.
Windscreen rubber creating marks, replace once for free. Second time occur, service centre ask me to pay.
Sold the car a year later to car dealer at a lost but happy to get rid of it :-)
What I like
External styling
Body shape
Flexible bumper
Value for money
What I do not like
Unable to rev - loud sound no power. Felt like the car want to explode though i only run at 80 km/h

I order the Geely CK in June, and I promptly got it in the same month! Really happy with the speed. Salesman was polite and thoughtful.
Impressions of this car up to now is not bad. At least fuel consumption is better than my previous COE Nissan Sunny.
Handling is almost the same, but engine is lacking in a little power. I guess thats the trade-off for better fuel economy. Steering is super light, so very easy to drive.
Transmission is abit jerky, but still bearable. Hope it does not get worse. But anyway, I'm covered by warranty.
Its a point A to B car for me, so I do not expect much.
What I like
Fast delivery of car
Good fuel economy
Reasonable price
Nice exterior
Cheap insurance ($600+ per year)
What I do not like
Transmission is jerky
Engine can do with more power

Price for this vehicle is really competitive. I was choosing between a Korean or a China car. Korean cars are pretty much more expensive, and so I chose the Geely CK.
Looks good, and handles well. The engine is fairly powerful, and can easily out-run smaller Korean cars like the Getz and Aveo. Fuel economy is also good. I clocked about 12km/L.
What I like
Spacious interior
Suspension is not too hard, so ride is comfortable
Engine is not bad
Fuel economy is good
Handling is good as the C.G is low
What I do not like
Wipers are flimsy
Cheap plastic feel in the cabin

Poor sound proof.

The engine become a bit noisey when air-con kick in, but the consumption of fuel is ok
If you are looking for car that fly and go in fast speed, please don't get this car ...
But if you are using it for transportation from point A to point B, just for the convenience, and saved money on fuel, this car is recommended !

I've personally test driven a Geely 1.5 and to my shock i found my friend's 16 year old toyota corolla much more smoother and has a better handling, even the engine of the 16 year old corolla is slightly less noiser when the aircon is switched on, one of the worst part is the reason for my friend buying a new car is the warranty, but he is unable to get the parts for his geely cause the agent said they need to indent, but after 4 months he still hasn't got his replacement parts, in the end i bought a 1991 corolla at a much cheaper price, but the fuel consumption and overall driving is much better, i did some replacement of wear & tear which includes changing of, radiator, engine mounting, aircon compressor & water pump which cost me less than $300. the parts is so easily found, and my car is now perfect, i cant wait 4 months or more for parts as im in the sales industry, i need to use the car very frequently, i would advice all car seeker out there to get a new jap/korea car, if not get a coe toyota, china made cars still has a long long way to go.....
CK 1.5 Beware | Posted on 25 Jan 2008 |

Hi to all, Well i own this crap car. I bought it in 10/2007. To my surprise the car in the showroom was good, after speaking to sales staff, it looked econmical.
After buying it. gosh my dreams crashed. I am not complaining, but telling you the facts. When it rains, water seeps in thru the Front windows (both driver and passenger) The car sales Broucher says they use a 4 speed auto gear box. BUT NO IT IS A 3 SPEED AUTO G/BOX. Trust me! your ride comfort is gone out of the window. The engine sounds like a Bedford lorry only a bit smoother. When the A/c compressor kicks in, the engine will rattle. The car will vibrate like a 10yr old car. The exact fuel consumption is 498km-50liters of petrol. If you seldom use aircon, you can get 520km. My testing with a empty tank -(pumped 51 liters) my mileage 542KM average speed 80km/hr. I drove without air con and till the car stalled (no petrol).
The engine is a Toyota AE101 engine. But the gear box is China made. The compressor is also China made. (Too big for the Engine.) When i went to the agent and asked them to tune my engine as it rattles when the compressor kicks in- TO MY SUPRISE THEY SAID, SORRY WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING AS IT IS COMMON. Well done geely, you will go far with this
I have met a few Geely CK 1.5 Drivers, they too face this problem. So i guess my car alone couldn't be a 1 in a 1000 car with specific problem. Even my wife won't get into the car.
So to all future geely car owner's- think carefully before you buy. Being economy isn't everything. There are better cars in the market with better fuel consumption and comfort driving. I have driven a few. I am from the Automobile Industry.
Further more i tried to sell my car- but the resale value is very bad. TRUST ME on this.
If you people need any clarification pls e-mail me at [email protected]

Someone bought it despite warnings from most of us earlier this year. Engine and electrical faults heard almost every month. The owner told me that handling is 'ok' lah, except steering not too sharp. Fuel consumption: Dealer told her easily 14km/liter, she has only been making 10-12.
I sat in her Geely once and felt that the auto transmission is really rough and sound insulation is bad (for a saloon car) Leg room is not bad and aircon is ok.
It gives abundance of space at low cost, but then you will not wish to put your colleagues/customers/family members in this poorly built car.
Resale value: buying at 30+k last year, now worth 20+k. Buy low, sell even lower.
What I like
1. Price
2. Legroom
3. Rear boot space
4. High spec. (got 2 airbags)
What I do not like
1. Poor build everywhere (interior, engine, transmission, insulation, electricals...)
2. Poor resale value
3. Fuel consumption far from what dealer claimed
