I have a 2019 GS5, and since early August, there's been a buzzing noise when driving between 60-100 km/h. It feels like I'm flying a plane, especially when I turn right, it gets louder. The dealership said it was a wheel bearing issue, so I had the bearings replaced, then the tires, and even the half shaft, but the problem still isn't solved. Has anyone else had this kind of issue? Please point me in the right direction. I don't want to keep wasting money and time on blind repairs. [About to cry]

Hope those who have picked up their cars can share the order dates, so everyone can estimate when they might get theirs [facepalm]. I ordered mine on August 9th... Will I be able to get it by early October?

Before the Gladiator was launched, I had pre-ordered the Raptor and waited for a long time. When the Gladiator was launched, I expected the price to be 38. If it was 38, I wouldn't wait for the Raptor. But it turned out to be 50.99, so I got the Raptor instead. Now the Gladiator is 38! What was the point!

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. 😏😏😏

I've had my KAMIQ for 1.5 years, and there's a clicking noise when I turn the steering wheel to the right, but not when I turn it to the left. The dealership can't figure out the cause... Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I bought the 2019 Bestune T99 in September 2020. Since it was my first car purchase, I lacked experience and fell into many traps. Besides having many minor issues, I later discovered several parts were damaged. The tires were previously used, which immediately made me suspect that this car was probably a test drive vehicle. And I was right. A few days ago, I went to replace the turn signal lights and found that the wiring inside had been reconnected, and the connections were poorly done. Moreover, the production dates of the left and right turn signals were almost a year apart. (Cars from the factory have uniform dates.) After all these years, it's impossible to explain this to the dealership now! I hope everyone pays attention to details when buying a car to avoid being deceived.

In March 2021, I had a 2020 model of the Leading Version. A few days ago, while driving on the highway with the AC on, everything was fine for about an hour. Then, it started getting hotter inside the car. When I checked, the air coming out of the AC vent was disappointingly weak. Usually, setting it to level 1 is more than enough to keep things cool, and sometimes I even have to turn it off for a bit. But this time, even when I turned it up to levels 3 or 4, the cold air was still too weak. Finally, I set it to the maximum, which was barely acceptable. At the same time, the noise from the electric fan became increasingly louder. Later, when I turned it back to levels 1 or 2, there was no airflow at all. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? How should I resolve it? I would appreciate any valuable suggestions. Thank you.

I had been browsing car websites for a while and looked at models like Jetour. When the compact version of the Sportage was released, I was really drawn to its bold design—but once they announced the price, I knew it was out of my budget. So I went back to looking at cars like the Jetta VS5 and BinYue. I wasn’t in a hurry because I was using a friend’s car, but when he moved to another emirate, I had no choice but to buy my own. I consulted with my family and started visiting dealerships. I was planning to go with the Jetta, but at the dealership, I saw the compact Sportage in front of me, tried it out, and really liked it. It felt right, and the price fit my budget, so I went ahead and decided to buy it. After some back-and-forth with the salesman, we closed the deal. I'm 173 cm tall, and the front seat is spacious—I have good headroom—and the back is very comfortable. You can stretch your legs easily, and the trunk space is more than enough. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. Sound insulation, though, is an issue! Tire noise is noticeable, and if you open the windows, you get a strong wind sound. Even the engine gets loud when you press the gas. Some people mentioned water leaks or strange noises, but I haven’t experienced that so far. I did get a bit of fog inside one of the headlights. I haven’t driven it much yet, but the company gave me six free services over three years, plus a AED 500 workshop voucher. The car has a 2.0L engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission—it’s been smooth and hassle-free so far. The power is enough for me. In sport mode, it responds quickly and drives smoothly. Of course, everyone dreams of a V8, but I like driving calmly—I’m not the type to race off at traffic lights. As for fuel consumption, it’s still too early to judge—I’ve only done about 100 km. The average so far is 10L/100km, and the best I got was 8.1. Some say they’ve managed 5.9, but realistically I think around 7 is more typical. There’s no such thing as a perfect car—just pick what you like and can live with. If the design and features work for you and the price fits your budget, go for it. The most important thing is that you’re comfortable with your choice.

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!

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.
