Any suggestions for a GWM Hover alternative?

Yeah... "old" and "shot"... completely. It's a 2010 model with 8,000km on, but then I suppose for a Chinese piece of shyte that'll qualify as both "old" and "shot". And yes, it is as bad as I make it sound - it is an impossibility to use any language known to man & convey it as worse than it is. It is pathetically horrible.

My better-than-average driving skill has nothing to do with the judgment. :rolleyes:

Every single car that comes from well known manufactures have 5 stars, you know, they big guys who make quality cars and yet people still get killed?

Yeah, I ain't touching anything 4 star and Chinese.

<joke>I don't like cars that can get holes in their bonnet when I push my finger through it.</joke> But not really.

LMFAO then you need a little more than grd1! You obviously don't know how to drive and didn't read the specs? Better than average? You mean like little better than a taxi driver?

How many times do we have to tell you this, it does NOT have a Euro NCAP 4 rating.. and the ANCAP rating of 4 stars is nowhere NEAR as valid as a Euro NCAP 4 star rating...

You are in the wrong thread. Go to the other, read, do some searches, and then come prove that maybe, just maybe, you have gone up one IQ point. Until then you are still comming across like a complete idiot.

You enjoy your ad hominems, don't you? Did I quantify my driving skill, or are you projecting? :rolleyes: So I checked a CAR mag of a couple of months ago for the power output - 'scuse me if a particularly insipid vehicle didn't exactly inspire me to make sure that my source is current. I'll give it the benefit of my faux pas though, and admit that what I felt could've been 17kW rather than 12 - there's your extra 5kW I missed. Happy now?

Anyhat, keep telling yourself you're not making a monumental error in judgement and maybe you'll start believing it yourself; nobody else here will.

Look, whoever you are or whetever you do, IF you drove a hover even for a few hours and it WASN'T shot you wouldn't say it had such bad power - trust me. It is not a race car but it is not a snail either. That almost 2 tons moves along pretty well with that engine. Yeah, almost 2 tons. Now one couldn't expect it t handle like a Polo - could you?

Like a Polo...? No, one couldn't. However, one could reasonably expect it to handle something like a 15 year old Nissan SANI. It doesn't...

Actually you are at this point in time. You stated it was Euro-Ncap 4 stars... you got proved wrong and then try to claim that the ANCAP system is the same and its bloody well not.... its at least 2 or 3 years BEHIND the EuroNCAP in terms of what it tests...

touche... mia culpa - I admit i made a mistake - ANCAP is good enough for me. Now, deep breath - relax ;)

Eventually you all got 1 point in.

That remains to be seen.

As for each getting 1 point in, I see that maths is not your strong point. :rolleyes:

A direct alternative would probably be a Rickshaw, however it is still better quality and maintenance would probably be lower.
As a alternative to what it offers. Get a Fortuner or similar.

I have never liked BMW!

Ofcourse you don't. I mean, a valuable, good car that actually takes you where you want to go. You must have a boring job with almost no stress? Why else put so much stress into your daily life.

Actually, the easy way out is to run in swinging wildly at anyone who dares to disagree with your viewpoint, often attacking the man and not the argument. It takes a bit of self control to read criticism and to actually think about it before replying.
