Can't see a reason either why anyone would bother to buy one of these cars, for that kind of money you get almost anything you like used In one of thee tests it was stated that the car costs between 16 and 23.000?. Yesterday I saw a 2001 Merc S320 with 98.000km on the clock for 22.000?. And that is still one of the safest cars around.
On friday my parents had an accident with our 96'Escort, they hit on a wet road an oncoming Vectra at around 80km/h. Guess they wouldn't have survived in a Brilliance. Thanks to Ford I still have parents, slightly bruised though. The right front of the car is all pushed in (around 40cm) and the dasboard on the passenger site came in a little. The airbags worked properly and all doors were easy to open after the accident (eventhough the passenger door was bended).
