I work at a Great Wall/Nissan dealership and have driven them all plenty of times. As far as I'm concerned they're all varying degrees of rubbish. The V240 would have to be the pick of the bunch though. But that's not something to brag about. Think Hyundai in the early 90's and that's where Great Wall stand.
Yes they have Mitsubishi running gear but they're gutless as all hell, have a woeful turning circle and a pathetic gearbox. But by far the worst of the Great Wall lineup would have to be the SA220. I'm only a little guy being 5'5" and weigh in at 55kg and even the front bucket seats are too small for me. The leather doesn't look like leather and our demo is only 8000k's old yet all the colour is coming off the leather. The stereo looks like it cost $2 at a reject shop and the gearbox is akin to driving a non synchro road ranger. The only reason you'd buy one of these is because of price. They are garbage pure and simple.
