Dear Genesis car owners, have you used the built-in ETC? How's the performance? Does it recognize properly when entering and exiting highways? Is it stable?

How does the Kia Pegas perform on the highway? Is the chassis stable?

I've driven my father's manual Volkswagen Santana for over 10 years. It's quite durable, performs well on the highway, and the wind noise insulation is decent. It hasn't had any major issues. I'm planning to switch to an SUV to experience driving one. I want to ask T-Cross owners: Is the T-Cross reliable? How is the driving experience on the highway, and what about the wind noise insulation?

Dear fellow car owners, is it necessary to do full car sound insulation for the Vito if it's primarily used for family and for its large space, and only goes on the highway less than 5 times a year? Also, how can I modify the interior for better cost-effectiveness for family use?

I've heard this car handles well. How does it perform on the highway? Is it stable around 130 km/h?

Noise issue, seeking advice from experts. I have a 2020 1.6 manual ASX. When driving on highways or national roads, once I go over 100 km/h, there's a knocking sound from the back after a bump, like a board isn't fixed properly. Yesterday, it was really annoying while on the national road. Even after stopping the car and restarting it, the knocking sound was still there. When I got home and tested it again, it was gone. This has been happening for a while, and I've checked multiple times but couldn't find the cause. Considering yesterday's situation, I suspect it might be an exhaust pipe issue. Has any fellow car owner experienced a similar problem?

How is the built-in ETC device in the car? Is it reliable? Can any fellow car owners share their experience?

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.

Since this is our first family car, we decided to go with a petrol vehicle that’s suitable for both city driving and long trips. After trying out and comparing many cars — Korean, Japanese, and even some Chinese hybrids — we finally chose the 2025 Changan Eado High-Energy Edition. Honestly, the first thing that made me choose it was the design — I really liked how the car looks, and the color matched my personal taste perfectly. The second reason was the engine — the 1.5L turbo is more than enough for highway driving. Even though it's a small engine, it delivers excellent power on the road, and at the same time, it’s fuel-efficient in the city — unlike a 2.0L that would consume more. The third and most important reason was the price — I see it as an excellent deal. I ended up with a good-looking car that’s packed with features. As for daily use, both my wife and I are new drivers, so having 360° cameras was a huge plus — it helped us a lot with parking and narrow roads. Honestly, without them, we wouldn’t have dared to enter many places. The car's performance is solid, acceleration is great, and just a slight push on the gas gets it moving quickly. The space is also impressive — three people can sit comfortably in the back, and the trunk has enough room for travel and groceries when we return from family visits. The smart features are also really helpful — I can use voice commands to control the A/C, start navigation, or play music without taking my hands off the steering wheel. On top of that, the car has a built-in dashcam that records continuously. Just insert a memory card and it overwrites old footage automatically. Exporting videos is easy too. In short, for around AED 70,000, I got a car that meets all my needs and protects me from the heat and the rain. It’s been an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a practical and affordable car.

I bought a used Nissan Sunny in 2018—it was a 2015 model, and I was the second owner. I paid 160,000 EGP for it. When I got it, the odometer showed 60,000 km, but it was obvious they had tampered with it—just by looking at the tires and other details. Still, at the time I just needed a car to get me around. The first year with the car was honestly a pleasant surprise. Fuel consumption was excellent—even with a bit of aggressive driving, it was doing about 6L/100km. That was after I cleaned the injectors, changed the spark plugs, and washed the sensors. After that, the throttle response was smoother and performance improved. One time, I managed 700 km on a single tank—but that was rare. Usually, it did just over 600. Interestingly, it consumed more fuel on the highway than in the city, which is a bit odd but shows it's built more for short urban trips. Driving it was light and smooth. The steering was soft but had a decent return, the suspension was soft but not too floaty, and even though the car is lightweight, it felt more planted than I expected. Honestly, it’s one of the most comfortable cars I’ve ever driven. The interior space is amazing. From the outside, it looks small, but inside it feels like a full-size sedan. Nissan clearly prioritized passenger space—they shrunk the hood and dashboard, which is great, but comes at a cost. The insulation is terrible—you hear road and wind noise like you're riding a tuk-tuk. And the bodywork is so thin, it feels like you could crush it with your hands. Put your foot in the wrong spot, and it feels like you'll puncture the floor. There were also a few issues: the stereo was poor, I had to replace the A/C motor, and I still get some strange noises. But in the end, I see the Nissan Sunny as a very basic car that offers comfort, space, and ease of use—but at the expense of build quality, sound insulation, and overall sturdiness. If you're on a tight budget and just need something to get you through your daily drives without asking much, it’s a logical choice. But if you’re looking for luxury or durability... look elsewhere.
