How does the GWM C10 handle and perform as second hand cars for sale in Pretoria?

According to autoworld.com, the light clutch action and small turning circle make it an ideal car for town driving, and it’s easy to park and maneuver in a confined space. They found the gear-change in the test car to be a bit slow through the “gate”, but it was fine for normal driving. Ride comfort was good, and the brakes responded well in an emergency stop.

The ultimatedriver.com said they would have liked to see a sixth gear as the C10 could use the extra 600 to 700 rev’s when in top gear.
