I'm planning to buy a 2014 model 1.5 manual second-hand just for fun, but I've seen a lot of complaints about this car online. I'd like to hear some real feedback from experienced folks to decide whether I should take the plunge.

I've been considering getting a Haval H7 recently, but I've seen a lot of negative reviews online. I'm not sure if these are genuine feedback or just haters. Is this car really a gas guzzler? What kind of fuel consumption can I expect in the city?

Is the HiPhi X noise issue serious? I'm planning to buy it soon, and I've seen quite a few owners mention this problem. Can someone provide the real situation? Thanks 🤝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

After thinking and looking for a long time, it all comes down to not having enough money. I'm planning to buy a second-hand car for around 40,000 to 50,000. I'm currently considering a Subaru Outback, but since its parts are expensive and not everyone can repair it, I'm putting this on hold. If there's an alternative, I'd love to hear it. Any recommendations? Thanks, everyone, for your advice!!! 🤔🤔🤔

I'm planning to buy a 2018 or later model with a 2.7 engine hood, or the new Haval H9. I mostly drive in rural areas and don't do much off-roading! Ideally, I'd like a Prado 3.5, but there's no 95 octane fuel available in my area! I'd love to hear some thoughts from experienced folks! Thanks for the feedback!

Is it advisable for a 23-year-old girl to consider buying an EX30, with financial support from family? Are there any other cars in the same class that you would recommend? What are the reasons? Since I'm a newbie driver, I'd love to hear some advice from experienced folks. Thanks!

I've had the car for about a month now, and honestly, I feel like it's a great fit for younger drivers. The design is sporty, and the interior space turned out to be better than I expected, so I didn’t hesitate to go ahead and place the order. At first glance, the look is pretty standard — nothing too flashy — and the car sits lower than most other SUVs. So far, I’ve driven around 600 km. Fuel consumption is currently between 8.8 to 9 L/100 km, mostly city driving. I haven’t taken it on the highway much yet, but I believe the fuel economy will improve over time. Acceleration is quite strong — it uses the same engine as the Civic — though I don't push it hard often; I only tried flooring it once just to see how it feels. The rearview camera is clear, and I didn’t install a 360° system since I’m used to using the mirrors, but I might add it later — blind spots are always a risk. Friends and coworkers who sat in the back all said the space felt pretty good. What annoyed me the most is the infotainment system. Wireless CarPlay has a 1–2 second delay, which isn’t terrible but still noticeable. I’ve seen people online claim some versions have zero delay — not sure how true that is. The voice assistant is also a bit frustrating; it sometimes activates randomly in the middle of a conversation and starts talking out of nowhere! The horn also sounds cheap — one guy compared it to an electric scooter and honestly, I couldn’t agree more. Another weird thing: there’s no one-touch window up/down feature, which feels like a missed basic feature. And the sound insulation is weak — you can clearly hear wind and tire noise, especially at higher speeds. I usually end up turning up the music just to drown it out — maybe that's just typical for Japanese cars? Overall though, as my first car, I’m pretty satisfied. I don’t have much experience with other cars yet, so this is just my perspective. Hope it helps anyone considering this car — no offense intended to anyone!

Honestly, the Lexus LX570 after its mid-cycle update has become more eye-catching than ever. The exterior design is bold, with a mix of luxury and modern flair that attracts younger buyers — and even older ones might find it impressive. But once you step inside, especially after hearing it's a full-size SUV, you're surprised to find the interior space isn't as generous as expected. I'm 180 cm tall and weigh 70 kg, and after adjusting the driver's seat to a comfortable position, there was only about 8 cm of legroom in the back — which feels tight for a car at this price point. That said, the interior materials are undeniably premium — the leather is soft and luxurious, and the entertainment and comfort features help make up for the space issue. Performance-wise, the 5.7L V8 engine offers plenty of power, but the throttle response is smooth and gradual. The car feels heavy, and the hydraulic steering gives almost no road feedback, with a noticeable delay between input and response. It honestly feels like you're driving on a mattress — completely isolated from the road, which doesn’t inspire much confidence if you're driving aggressively on pavement. However, if you think of it as an off-road vehicle, the story changes. The light steering actually helps absorb kickback when driving over rough terrain, and the adjustable air suspension gives you flexibility depending on the terrain. Add to that full-time four-wheel drive and multiple off-road assist modes, and the LX570 is a real beast off the beaten path. It’s a luxurious SUV clearly built for adventure, rather than sharp on-road performance.
