Micodelija, I don't see the same good quality that you do. Take another look at those seats, and look closer at that instrument panel. But yes, I do see a good value in a utility vehicle that sells for a dirt cheap price. I think DFM is having no problem exporting a bunch of them.

i try to make an compare here at our market in cars which are in loading capacity between 600 and 900 kg, cheapest car at our market start from 10000 euros, and dfm will be maybe 2 or 3000 euros less, when i compare it with others at the market who offers mini vans, like piaggio commercial vehicles they cost over 12000 euros, don't have a/c, front fog ligts, radio, central lock...nothing, also it's much smaller

personaly i think that if you take care of your car he can be good to you, if don't...well, this is another problem :)

Re: Introducing; Dongfeng Yu'an

i was in gonow company and by the production line i personaly think that DFM is better, simply it's more modern and bigger comapny then gonow, you know what happend to some dude in bosnia???

he also buy a gonow suv, and after only 30.000 km the whole engine brakets fall off, almost whole engine fall off, i think that gonow still have to do many investments in production to success

Re: Introducing; Dongfeng Yu'an

yes, because of good reputation of my company in china the people from DFM contact me, i have been there couple of times, also i meet them at autoshows

i got the contract from them and lincence for selling where in like, for most of states of former yugoslavia, i buy them directly in china, also today i succesfully finish homologation progress in croatia, without any problems for two days only :thumb: first time that any chinese vehicle pass that homologation so easily

for now i got only one problem, the seat in the mini truck is fixed, but they promise to me that in my future order all will have normal seat rails, also i can say that they are taking all of my comments and suggestion, i am very suprised with them how they work, also they are very well informed about situation at european market, important is that all of my suggestion they are willing to solve at my satisfaction :D

as you ask me for prices at the market i will offer the models with lot of extra equipment, like a/c, radio cd, central lock etc, the prices will be from 8000 euros to more, without any equipment basic price can be from 7000 euros, if we compare it with suzuki or piaggio which is in same range it's almost 40% lower, piaggio cost between 12000 euros and don't have a/c, with all equipment price is almost 13.500 euros, also piaggio is much smaller, 3.4 meters, while DFM is 3.8 meters, company warranty is 2 year or 50000 km, it's quite good for this type of vehicle

i know that it's difficult to comapre famos piaggio with DFM because DFM is still not so popular here in europe, but anyway, for now i have big intresred in them and very soon i will order much bigger quantity

my first impression on them was quite good, much better comparing to piaggio and to be onest i didn't expect that, first minivan is much bigger and have much more space and it's very pratical, have 2 side doors and big rear doors, second it's very funny to drive them (remember rodney and delboy), the engine complites to euro 4 regulation and isn't noisy, i only want one thing, most of competitors don't have but i wish that DFM install abd and 2 airbags in them, in my future orders they will provide for me the driver airbag, nobody at the market offer something like this

i am sure that this vehicles have potencial to succes at european market, first in that class of vehicle which have payload between 600-900 kg it have the best price, also because of small compact dimension it's good for big city's because of very small passeges in them, usually on normal road you will have parked cars on both side of the road, i rember that with my hover i stuck one time in paris and other time in rome
