My dad bought this car last April 27, 2010. It broke down twice right after. And until today, my Chana Benni which I drive everyday to UST, is being brought to the casa ONCE A WEEK because of its aircon failure. There was a time when I was driving to school while stuck in a traffic, my AC’s really cold then it suddenly turned warm. After a minute, it suddenly turned as if it was in fan mode. Take note, I didn’t do anything or touch or press anything. The AC’s just really weird. Our lawyer sent a letter regarding our demands of giving us a replacement due to the car’s failed performance. We are still hoping for the company’s consideration… they’ve been giving me headaches since I got this car.
So be careful if you’re getting a Chana Benni. I used to drive a Kia Picanto and everything seems to be better with my Picanto.
