I chose the white color — it’s not flashy, but it looks clean and elegant, the kind of design that stays nice over time. The front grille has a distinctive and recognizable look, and the trim I got comes with a full-width rear light bar. Honestly, I didn’t feel it made much of a difference — maybe some people like those kinds of details, but I didn’t find it particularly meaningful. The car has a 360-degree camera and parking sensors, and everything works smoothly. Voice commands are recognized quickly, and the Geely app for remote control works fine, although there’s a slight delay of a few seconds — still acceptable. The automatic headlights are also quite handy. Overall, the car has everything you need — no unnecessary extras or flashy features you’ll never use. One thing I really liked is the physical buttons below the screen — they make things easier and more convenient than having to rely on touch controls. As for fuel consumption, I’ve only driven about 30 km so far in heavy city traffic, and it showed 11.6 L/100 km. But according to other owners, the real-world consumption should be between 7 to 8 liters, so I’ll monitor that more closely over time. When I was buying, I was torn between the Chery Arrizo and the Geely Emgrand. The Arrizo had slightly better performance and more features, but I felt the interior quality was noticeably lower. Even the display unit looked cheap, with too much plastic. Since I wanted a reliable daily car for the family that would last years, I went with the one that felt better built. In the end, I support Chinese brands, and for AED 60,000, I believe the Geely Emgrand was the right choice.

I feel like it's better to spend a bit more and get a Geely Xingrui. Wouldn't it be nicer to buy a BBA with this money?

I ordered a Geely Emgrand, but why are all the production dates showing as 2022? Can someone explain this?

Which has more prestige, the Geely Emgrand or the Maybach?

Hey everyone. I'm currently looking at the Hongqi HS5, Tiggo 8 Pro, Geely Xingyue L, and the more affordable Jetour X90. Could you guys share your thoughts? Which one should I go for? Also, can Geely and Chery's own AT transmissions be the first choice?

Today, while driving, the engine warning light suddenly came on. No other lights were on, but I felt the engine trembling and it lacked power. After driving for about 150 meters, during idling at a red light, the engine vibration was quite noticeable. When the light turned green and I accelerated, the trembling became more pronounced and it lacked acceleration. I pulled over immediately, waited for about 10 minutes, and after restarting, everything was back to normal. I restarted a few times afterward and everything was fine. The last time I started the car, I drove a few kilometers home and it was normal too. Has anyone experienced this issue? Does anyone know what might be going on?

Hey fellow car enthusiasts, if anyone's looking to sell, let me know. I was planning to buy a new Ariya, but my wife ended up getting a different brand. I've always had a thing for the Ariya.

Why does it feel like the ground clearance of the Sunny is quite high? Looking at the Accord, it seems lower than the Sunny. I wonder if it's just a visual thing or if older cars are generally higher than the newer ones.

Hey car enthusiasts, I'm thinking of changing my car by the end of the year. With a budget of "around 20", which one is better among the Accord, Teana, and Camry as purely gasoline cars? I looked into Volvo, but since it's been acquired by Geely and now uses Geely's transmissions, I'm not considering it.

I’m someone who likes a car to be practical and comfortable, so I was looking for something with enough space. Honestly, the GLC surprised me! The rear seat space is excellent, and the trunk is more than sufficient without any hassle. Sure, it doesn’t have a spare tire, but personally, I don’t need one—especially since it’s a daily-use vehicle. When it comes to interior design, Mercedes is always ahead. I looked at cars like the S90 and Q5 before, but I felt the GLC suited my taste more—especially with the natural wood trim instead of piano black, which gets dirty and scratched easily. The only thing I didn’t like about the interior was the speakers—they look very plain and don’t have any branding, so they feel like something’s missing. Driving the car is comfortable and stable. The 260 model with around 200 horsepower is more than enough for my needs, and I didn’t see a reason to go for the 300 model. I also test-drove the C-Class, but I found it too stiff and not comfortable, especially over bumps. Fuel consumption is currently between 8 and 9 liters per 100 km in the city, and since the car is still in the break-in period, that seems reasonable to me for a 2.0 turbo engine. What really bothered me, though, was the downgrade in features due to the parts shortage—especially the Burmester sound system, which they removed from all the new trims! I was planning to get it, but it completely disappeared from the catalog. On top of that, if you want to install it later through the dealership, they ask for over 30,000! Honestly, I’m thinking of going to an aftermarket shop and getting a good sound system installed myself. I moved from an old BYD to the GLC, and I can say honestly: no car is perfect, but the one that fits your needs is the best car for you. Sometimes you should look for what’s most suitable, not necessarily the most luxurious. And when you find a car that truly gives you peace of mind, you feel completely satisfied with your decision.

Look, I'm one of those people who did a lot of research before buying a car. I tried everything from the Geely StarRay to the Nissan Sentra and the Volkswagen Jetta. But in the end, I went back to the classics and chose the 2021 Toyota Corolla 1.2T Plus—because, quite simply, it doesn't come with problems, and that's the most important thing for someone in their 30s with a job, a home, and responsibilities. I bought it with a few extras thrown in, like LED headlights, parking sensors, window tinting, floor mats, and 7 free maintenance services. The car won't blow your mind or steal your heart, but it’ll stick with you and do its job. It's comfortable, smooth, has solid suspension, and its performance is more than enough for daily drives—you don’t need to fly. The interior is simple but comfy. The console doesn’t have CarPlay, but it's not the end of the world—I just connect it via Wi-Fi and that’s it. Fuel consumption is around 6.3L per 100 km, and I drive calmly. In short, the Corolla isn’t the best car in everything, but it's probably the one with the least headaches—and that matters more than fancy specs or a big screen.
