Hey folks, planning a two-month road trip starting from the National Day holiday. If I get a flat tire along the way, what should I do? My Peugeot 2008 doesn't have a spare tire. What's all that stuff under the trunk for?

How do I handle the annual inspection for a car that's not registered under my name? It's a 2008 model. Do I need to get it inspected every six months?

Hey guys with the 301, I'm feeling that the car noise is too loud. I just did maintenance two months ago and also replaced the tires with the original Giti 221. What's going on? The engine hood and trunk lid don't have any soundproof cotton. Would adding some help? Have any of you guys tried it?

I haven't driven my Changan for half a month due to a business trip. Today, before driving, I checked a few tires and they looked fine, not flat. After driving about 20 kilometers, the dashboard suddenly showed a tire pressure warning. I got out to check but didn't find anything wrong with the tires. What could be the issue, guys?

Check the trunk for spare tire tools. Bought a second-hand car, and there's no spare tire tool. It's a 2017 manual model.

Guys, can you buy a spare tire for the 2008 model and put it in yourself? Will it fit?! What size should you get?

Has anyone here modified their car or changed tires? My left front tire got a nail in it and can't be repaired. I've been asking around but can't find a Toyo 225 55 R19 tire, and with the national holiday, I can't replace it until the 4th. It's really inconvenient. Has anyone switched to other tire brands after buying their car? Any recommendations? I'm hesitant to replace just one tire with a different brand, and since I need the car urgently, I'm considering replacing both front tires.

Why are there water droplets in the spare tire area of the trunk?

After 8 years with my old petrol car, it started burning oil, and I noticed a lot of people around me were switching to electric vehicles. That got me thinking. I was originally planning to get the top-spec Tank 300 (Menglong), and during the National Day holiday I went for a test drive — it met my expectations.On the way back, I stopped by a Jetour dealership and saw the T2. My daughter instantly fell in love with the exterior and interior — it completely overshadowed the Menglong in her eyes. Looks clearly played a big role, and after a test drive, it felt good enough. Since I don’t really need 4WD for daily driving, I booked it right away. Looking back now, I do wish I had waited for the 4WD version — a bit more power would’ve been nice.For this type of vehicle, electric power saves a lot. For daily use, my cost is just around 0.10 AED/km (charging at home on off-peak rates of 3.3 AED/kWh). My daily round-trip to work is under 20 km, so I only charge every four days, when the battery hits around 20%.For long-distance trips, I don’t bother with charging — it’s too much hassle. I just set the car to preserve 60% battery and drive on petrol. Even if fuel consumption is slightly higher, it’s fine since I only do a few road trips per year.The car is heavy and feels solid on the road. Acceleration is decent, but the 4WD version definitely would’ve offered better power and confidence. I’ve had the car for over half a year now. So far, the only issue has been a slight noise from the steering system — which was fixed. Other than that, no major problems. Buying a car always involves a bit of luck anyway.The biggest downside is the driver assistance system — it lags behind the competition. The infotainment system has improved a bit with the latest 4.11 update, but it still has room for improvement.Overall, I’m quite satisfied. Compared to many newer EV startups, Chery is an established brand. The lifetime warranty adds a lot of peace of mind, especially on the powertrain and electric components.

I’ve had this car for six years now. I haven’t driven it much—total mileage is around 90,000 km—because I don’t travel long distances with it. My workplace is close to home, so there aren’t many long trips. In terms of fuel consumption? It’s amazing. It averages about 5.8L per 100 km, so when I put in 100 EGP worth of fuel, I can go a long way. That’s one of the main reasons I’ve held on to it. In the first year, I used to do maintenance every 3 months, but I noticed the oil was still clean as if just changed, so I switched to every 6 months. Now, I do it once a year and everything’s going just fine. What bothers me is that the car doesn’t look stylish. It’s a bit cramped, and honestly, it feels kind of like a microbus—that’s the biggest thing that keeps me from being fully comfortable with it. Plus, the dashboard is all hard plastic with basic design. But since I got the slightly higher trim, it does have push-button start, keyless entry, and parking sensors. When it comes to driving, the car needs a gentle touch. You have to press the gas pedal softly to get it moving smoothly. I tried pushing it to 130 km/h once, and it started to feel shaky. The cabin gets noisy, but I just play music and it’s manageable. The suspension isn’t super soft—you do feel the bumps, but they’re not harsh. In summary: it’s a highly economical car. Fuel consumption is low, spare parts are affordable, and the engine is still in great condition. If only it were a bit more spacious and had a better design, it would’ve been perfect.
