Hey everyone, should I choose the 1.4 or 1.5 for the Yidong? I've seen many people say that the 1.5's car system often crashes. But the 1.5's air conditioning and everything are controlled through the central touchscreen. What should I do if it often crashes?

Is there a significant difference in driving experience between the 2.5 and 3.0? I'm planning to buy a used Viano and later get a towed RV. Will a 2.5 engine struggle with towing a trailer? Normally, the 2.5 should consume more fuel compared to the 3.0, but since the car often idles for 1-2 hours waiting for people, would the 2.5 be more fuel-efficient in this situation?

Thinking about getting a Lotus S+, should I go for green or gray? I've seen the yellow and green ones on the road, both look great, but yellow seems more for the younger crowd. Haven't seen a gray one in person. By the way, is it suitable for a guy nearing 40 to buy this car?

If you want to add a reversing camera to your 207, you can follow these general steps: 1. **Choose a Compatible Camera**: Make sure the reversing camera is compatible with your Peugeot 207 model. 2. **Purchase Necessary Equipment**: You'll need the camera itself, a compatible monitor, and any necessary wiring or connection kits. 3. **Installation**: - **Mount the Camera**: Usually on the rear license plate area or bumper. - **Run the Wiring**: Connect the camera to the monitor and power source. This often involves routing the wires through the car's interior. - **Connect to Power**: Typically, the camera is powered by the reverse light circuit, so it activates when you shift into reverse. 4. **Testing**: Once installed, test to ensure the camera activates correctly and the image displays on the monitor. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it's a good idea to have a professional handle the installation to ensure everything works correctly.

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.

For the 2017 BRZ, the lower trim and higher trim, specifically the S and RS versions, besides the difference in suspension, is there a difference in the central control? I noticed some websites show the RS version with a touchscreen central control while others show it with a basic single-disc radio central control.

What type of engine oil do people generally use for a newly purchased second-hand 2008 2.0? How often should the transmission oil be changed? Thanks!

I had the chance to try out the new Toyota Corolla, the 1.2T Elite version. Honestly, there aren’t many changes in the design compared to the previous generation, but I thought I’d share my thoughts anyway. The engine performance isn’t particularly strong — 116 horsepower on a car this size is just acceptable. But when you push it and let the RPMs climb, it actually feels better than expected. It’s not slow, and it feels lighter than I thought it would. The CVT gearbox is smooth and decent overall, although at low speeds there are some light vibrations and a bit of drag when you lift off the throttle. When you demand sudden acceleration, it takes a little time to reach the higher revs, but it’s not annoying. The suspension handles big bumps well, but you can feel smaller imperfections in the road, especially at lower speeds. On curves and sharp turns, the car holds itself pretty well and stays composed — that was a nice surprise. The steering is great. It’s light at low speeds and firms up nicely as you go faster. The response is smooth and precise, and the brakes are easy to get used to and feel very natural — no issues there. Noise insulation is average. Wind noise is handled well, and the engine isn’t too loud, even at high RPMs — that’s actually better than the hybrid version. But road noise does come through at higher speeds, and ambient noise isolation is just okay. Inside, the design hasn’t changed much — it still feels quite basic. The materials aren’t great; most of the interior is hard plastic. The screen and instrument panel haven’t been upgraded like in the 1.5 or hybrid versions. The infotainment system is slow and outdated — not what you'd expect in a 2024 model. Front seating is fine — you can adjust the driver’s seat to a comfortable low position and the steering wheel aligns well with it. The back seats, however, aren’t great. The space is average, the seatback is a bit upright, and the cushion isn’t very long. The trunk, on the other hand, is decent and handles luggage well. In terms of safety features, you do get useful tools like radar and driving assist, but there’s no rear parking sensor — which is strange. Overall, the car isn’t lacking in features, but the priorities feel a bit off. In the end, this car doesn’t really surprise you — and that might actually be a good thing for people who prefer something reliable and familiar. It’s not futuristic, but if you’re after dependability and ease of use, it could still be a smart choice — especially with how crowded the market is becoming with hybrids and EVs. Ultimately, it depends on your needs and your budget at the time of buying.

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!
