Does the roof rack on the Mazda 5 look good, like the ones on off-road vehicles? I'm considering it for a long road trip to carry things like a tent, water tank, and bicycles. It's a 2011 2.0L automatic.

Hey guys, I feel the T60 is a bit bumpy. What kind of suspension should I switch to for a better ride? Or what modifications would you recommend? (I don't usually carry heavy loads or go off-road, just occasional suburban trips.)

How is the performance of the 2021 2.0T manual Super Sharp Long Wheelbase Short Overhang High Roof model? I often carry cargo for long-distance trips, so I have certain speed requirements. How fast can it go under normal driving conditions? Is it good for acceleration and overtaking? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I have a 2011 Comfort M5, and I've had it for a year and a half without any issues. Recently, there's been a rattling noise on the front passenger side when driving on regular concrete roads, like the sound of knocking on wood, which is quite annoying. There's no noise on highways or asphalt roads. What could be the reason for this?

I'd like to ask Mazda 5 owners, why is the noise level so high in this car? How can it be resolved, and how do you deal with valve cover oil leakage? What are your Mazda 5's fuel consumption rates in the city and on the highway? My 2011 automatic Mazda 5 costs 0.9 RMB per kilometer in the city.

Is the two-door version of the Jeep Wrangler worth buying if I'm traveling solo across the country at 36, without carrying too much luggage and not planning to go off-road? Just asking fellow car enthusiasts if this car is worth it or if there are better recommendations. I don't like large or long vehicles.

If you want to go on a road trip and put a custom mattress in the back, how's the space? Can the air conditioning stay on continuously? According to the video review, it seems like the power cuts off automatically if there's no one in the driver's seat?

Does this car have good off-road capabilities, suitable for road trips? The back seat seems really spacious, good for sleeping, right? I'm not too worried about fuel consumption since it's American, as long as it's not too bad. I'm just concerned that besides being big, it won't be like a car costing around a hundred thousand [facepalm][facepalm] How's the driving experience and all that?

Ride Comfort: The car feels very stable at high speeds, which gives you a real sense of safety — especially thanks to the solid chassis. However, the seats are a bit firm, and on long trips, they can start to get uncomfortable. Fuel Range: On a full tank, I’ve managed around 650 km on the highway. In summer, or when the car is fully loaded with the A/C running, that drops to about 500 km. In the city, I usually get around 400 km per tank. With current fuel prices (I always fill up with 95), it basically costs me around AED 1 per kilometer. Performance: This is the part I really want to talk about — and complain a bit. With ECO mode turned off, the initial power off the line is decent, but that’s about it. Once you get moving, the car starts to feel like it’s struggling — like a small engine pulling a heavy body. If you don’t mind the loud engine noise, you might get a bit of excitement, but realistically, you’re running close to 4000 RPM for that. Overtaking at 120 km/h is tough; the acceleration just doesn’t keep up, and it feels risky. That said, I have to give credit to the car’s off-road capabilities — it handles rough or muddy roads surprisingly well and won’t leave you stuck.

To be honest, I didn’t buy the Corolla out of strong conviction at first. Back in April, I quickly bought a used car from the local market before the Eid holidays. Turned out to be a total disaster. I was in a rush and didn’t have time to go to a mechanic or deal with any hassle, so I drove it for a bit, sold it, and moved on. After that, I decided I wanted to buy something brand new, something I could stick with for 10 years without any headaches. I liked the look of both the Civic and the Corolla. I went to check them out, and while the Civic was really impressive, it was a bit too expensive—so I settled on the Corolla. Overall, the car is smooth and comfortable to drive. But when you're on an incline or waiting at a light on an uphill road, you can feel it struggle to get going—you have to press the gas harder, and the engine gets louder without the car really moving much. The front seats are good, but the rear bench isn’t very spacious. I was honestly disappointed to find that the rear seats don’t fold down, so if you want to carry large items, you’re out of luck. As for fuel consumption—those people claiming 5L/100km, I honestly don’t know how they’re getting that. In the city, I’ve been getting around 6.8 to 7.2, and I’m not a heavy-footed driver. From February 2 to early April, I drove about 4,600 km because I was using it for errands after work and even took a long round trip to Alexandria. One thing I really noticed is that the car doesn’t handle rough roads well—you really feel the bumps. In traffic, sometimes the car shakes a bit when moving slowly around 10 or 15 km/h—not always, but it happens. There's also a faint squeaking noise, like the A/C button is slightly loose—it only shows up on bumpy roads. Still, none of this changes the fact that the car is generally reliable and stable. It drives easily, and honestly, I’m quite content with it—especially after what I went through with that used car. For anyone thinking about getting a Corolla, just be realistic about what you’re looking for. It’s a great car for someone who wants something long-lasting, even if there are a few things that aren’t perfect.
