CHERY EASTAR (2003-CURRENT)

We Say...
An executive sedan at sub-compact car price? With Chery, you better believe it. Looking like a cross between a Cefiro and something from Hyundai, the Eastar (Eastern Star) is a fair effort from the Chinese car maker. This one's relegated as a hotel shuttle though with the untested badge, non-availability of an automatic and rather bare features.
An executive sedan at sub-compact prices!
Any Japanese sub-compact would feel much more refined.
