No. Chinese cars have been a thing in New Zealand for decades now and they are HORRIFIC. They import the good version for safety testing then promptly switch out the steel for cheaper “Chinesium,” and airbags for cheaper versions. No one should ever buy one until long term reliability studies are conducted. I will eat my hat if they’re anything other than terrible.

Yeah the "great wall" Ute's et cetera have a terrible reputation here. They're bottom tier fleet vehicles.

Campers & trailers are the same. Too thin to be repaired.
