Cool...and how much will a set of 17inch will cost me (roughly)?Originally posted by rojak12:If the rims is of high grade super lightweight material and with a super low profile tyre setup, acceleration will not be affected but improved.
Proven.

I have just bought Hafei Minz for [b]$19,990 (OPC). I think its a damn good deal, considering that it can seat 7 adults! (with 3yrs/100,000kms warranty) I took a 10 year loan and only pay $230.20 per month! I am still waiting for the car to be delivered (mid Sep 2007).
I have read alot of reviews and spoke to some of my China Chinese friends about the car. They told me is not attractive but reliable, so will wait and update you guys again!

My reviews after nearly 1 week of driving
Behind The Wheel (4/5)
The fairly roomy interior seats comfortably 7 adults (I tried it with 7 adults and 2 kids). The driving position is upright with limited adjustment, but the large wing mirrors give a good rearward visibility. The design of the cabin is simple and it's pretty user friendly. There's a good quality stereo, central locking on all five doors, heated rear window and good lightings (includes front map reading lights). No power steering is not so much an issue (small tyres).
On The Road (3/5)
It's an agile and nimble car, ideal for city driving. Its compact shape means it can weave through traffic and park-up in tight places, while its engine gives nippy acceleration up to 40km/hr (it performs best with lighter loads). The steering is pretty sharp, but you need to be forceful with the gear change and careful around sharp turns (high centre of gravity means that there's a lot of body roll). On the expressway, the 1.1-litre engine can feel stretched and at higher speeds the steering can become a little vague. You sit almost on top of the engine, so engine noise is a problem - especially at higher speeds - creating a 'buzzy' noise inside the cabin, making longer trips a chore. It also lacks power at 50-70kmh/hr, which means overtaking moves have to be well planned. I tried driving up a slope with 6 adults and yes its not fast but I can still move at 40kmhr (3rd gear).
Brakes And Wheels (3/5)
Ventilated disc brakes at the front and drums at the rear provides me a better than expected braking power (of course when full load have to keep my distance).
Safety and Security (3/5)
It is a budget car, but from the price that I am paying I have no qualms over safety. The car comes with fog lamps (front and rear), remote central locking and alarm.
Running Costs (4/5)
As it is 3 yrs warranty, parts will not be an issue for me yet. However it is a cheap car and generally quite cheap to run (insurance, road tax & parts). I will update the Fuel Consumption (FC) figures, after I the first 1000kms run.
Reliability (3/5)
Generally mechanically robust, like most cars it needs to have regular service. As expected (from the price), the interior isn't as heavy duty, much of the trim can be easily damaged.
Verdict (4/5)
You get for what you pay for and I feel very satisfied with Hafei Minz. It's definitely worth my every penny, but let me know if you can find a cheaper or similar price mpv

TS, i used to be on your side when replies to your thread were malicious.
but i think you need to be judgmental and not stubbornly stand by your decision as well. some people here, esp those who expressed their worries about safety, do mean good for you.
it's important to look at things from every angle to make an informed decision.
