CHERY QQ3 (2003-CURRENT)

We Say...
No matter how hard you slap yourself, the price isn't a typo. You're looking at the country's cheapest car. The catalog says "cute looks" is a major feature, but enticing price aside, the QQ3 is chock full of accessories that shame cars even a class higher. Fit and finish are surprisingly good, but performance is weedy with a 0-100 km/h of over 30 seconds (22 for the 1.1-liter).
Car ownership has never been more attainable.
Questionable residuals.
