Yuexiang, oh Yuexiang, the more I think, the more I want it. Didn't they say it was discontinued? How come it's still selling a few thousand units each month? Where exactly can you buy it?

I own a 2014 SsangYong Korando, 2WD high trim, 2.0 gasoline. Recently, the check engine light occasionally turns on with the error code indicating a misfire in cylinder 1. Sometimes it turns off by itself. I've swapped spark plugs between cylinder 1 and 2, ignition coils between cylinder 1 and 3, and even swapped the injectors. I planned to use elimination to check if it's the injector issue, but after each swap, the misfire code for cylinder 1 still comes back eventually! The engine idles with slight vibrations, but I don't feel any power loss on the highway—it easily goes over 160 km/h. Later, I measured the cylinder pressure: cylinder 1 is at 8 kg, while the others are over 10 kg. After researching online, I suspect it's an exhaust valve issue. Now I'm really torn. Should I just let it be, or go for a major repair? I read online that some people can fix it by opening the cylinder head without removing the engine. But the local big auto shop is no more, and the private mechanic suggests removing the engine, which I really don't want to do—worried it won't fit back as perfectly as the original. It's stressful because I bought this as a first car for my father, who has loved cars all his life, and now this happens. I've been to various places without a clear diagnosis. Some say it's slight cylinder wear, some say valve leakage, and others mention cylinder head design flaws. Any advice from fellow Korando owners on how to solve similar issues would be greatly appreciated!

Is this car going to be discontinued??? 🤔😭😭😭 I ordered this car on September 25th last month, and just got a call two days ago saying they can't fulfill the order??? What's going on?

I have high hopes for Chery cars, but buying one can be disappointing. First, many car companies now offer lifetime free maintenance, but Chery does not. Second, when it comes to window tinting, the dealership tells you that it's outsourced, and you have to drive the car there yourself. Once you arrive, you find out the tint is transparent, which is basically like having no tint at all. If you want better quality tint, you have to pay a few thousand more out of pocket, and the sunroof isn't included either. Other car companies usually provide better quality tint for free. Third, when picking up the car, they inform you about insurance and say that to have "no damage" coverage, you need to spend several thousand more. I just want to say, Chery, can you not make potential buyers of Chery cars feel disappointed?

I have a 2018 Outlander 2.4 AWD. Last month, the right front wheel got hit, and I had to replace the shock absorber, half shaft, and steering rack. 😒😒😒 Now, when I'm driving at around 110 km/h, the steering wheel vibrates in my hands. It's not exactly a shake, but more of a tingling feeling. The car doesn't drift or vibrate, just the steering wheel. If I grip the wheel tightly, it feels a bit better. There's no issue when driving below 100 km/h. I've done wheel alignment, and the data is spot on. I've also done wheel balancing and swapped the front and rear tires. I've even replaced the front bearings, but there's no change. The repair shop said the next step would be to start replacing parts one by one, but that would be too costly. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I'd be willing to offer a small reward for a solution. 😏😏😏

Is there anyone else waiting for the range extender version? This car really hits the spot for me. Just look at the Denza D9, selling around 10,000 units a month, with only about 500 being pure electric. You can see how few people can accept a pure electric MPV. Zeekr, please hurry up and release the range extender version. Also, offer a pure electric option so consumers have more choices. Sales will definitely go up.

Didn't they say this car was discontinued? Why are there still a few hundred sales every month, just going steady? Aren't people worried about after-sales issues?

I was looking for a good sedan, and I went through the usual headache of choices like anyone else. I looked at the Sentra and the Civic—each had something I liked, but also something that made me hesitant. The Sentra felt a bit too quiet for me—I’m still young—and while the Civic was tempting, I just couldn't fully buy into it. I randomly walked into a Toyota showroom, and right there in front of me was the Corolla. I took it for a test drive, and honestly, the sales team was incredibly polite and respectful—unlike the staff I’d dealt with at other dealerships. In the end, I was convinced and bought the hybrid Corolla. After a year of use, the car has been comfortable and smooth to drive, with no major issues. But it’s not without its annoyances—like the sluggish, outdated screen and the old-school head unit, so I replaced them. Even the seats and the center armrest would get dirty easily, so I had them covered in leather. The headlights were halogen, so I swapped them for LEDs. The horn also sounded weak, so I changed that too. In terms of performance, it's decent—not a rocket, but more than enough for daily commutes. At speeds over 120 km/h, the car felt a bit floaty, so I upgraded the wheels and tires from 16" to 17", which really improved its stability. The most impressive thing, hands down, has been the fuel consumption—it once dropped to 3.9L/100km! But after I accidentally reset the system, it now reads 5.3 and I can't figure out how to get it back. Space-wise, it's fine—comfortable up front, and okay for two people in the back, but three will feel cramped. The one thing that really bugs me is the A/C, especially for rear passengers. There aren’t effective rear vents, and airflow is a bit weak during summer. I enjoy tweaking my car, so I’ve done a lot of modifications—brakes, tires, wheels, lights, sound system, and a few small accessories. Overall, though, I’m satisfied. My advice for anyone planning to buy one: don't go for it just because everyone else is. Buy it because you’re personally convinced. Compare prices and features carefully. At the end of the day, the Corolla is a solid, respectable car. It won’t let you down, but it’s not perfect—there are things that need a bit of work, depending on your preferences and how willing you are to spend a little more after buying it.
