I'm a resident of Dubai, and I was looking for a comfortable and practical car — especially now that my kids are growing up and the old car just isn't enough anymore. I was torn between a few models; I tried the Passat and the Accord — both had their advantages — but when I came back and test-drove the Ford Taurus, I immediately felt the difference, especially in sound insulation and highway stability. The car has a 2.0T engine, and the torque is impressive — especially on the highway, where you really feel confident and relaxed. The features are excellent: ventilated and heated seats, a screen with voice commands, radar, adaptive cruise control, and even semi-autonomous driving. The rear space is great, and the comfort level is better than many cars in the same price range. Plus, with the BO sound system and good insulation, the cabin feels upscale and quiet. I haven't faced any real issues so far, but you do need to get used to the fuel consumption — especially if you're mainly driving in the city. I drive it daily, and the average fuel consumption is about 9 liters per 100 km, which I find reasonable. If you're looking for a comfortable, somewhat luxurious car that's enjoyable to drive, the Taurus is an excellent option. Even if it's not a very common choice, it definitely gives you the feeling of being unique.

Recently, when driving fast on uneven cement roads, the car feels unstable and wobbly. If you hit a pothole, it even feels like the tail sways.
Hey everyone, the chassis of the GV80 feels too stiff, and the ride comfort is really poor and bumpy. The roads I'm driving on aren't even that bad. It seems like having no air suspension is really an issue. Any suggestions?
Does this car feel unstable when driving at 160 km/h on the highway?
4I've always wanted to switch to the 86 since it’s my third car after getting my license, but after trying it, I have some regrets. The interior, sound insulation, and loudspeakers of my previous German cars make me hesitate about the 86. Since I drive half on the highway and half in the city, I’d like to know everyone's honest daily driving experience. Let's set aside its excellent handling and looks, and just talk about daily driving comfort.
5Sometimes I feel like the gear is stuck, especially when starting the car. Have you guys experienced this situation?
6If you're trying to decide between the Mercedes-Benz E300L and the Porsche 718, both are great options but serve different needs. The Mercedes-Benz E300L is known for its comfort, luxury, and spacious interior, making it a good choice for long highway drives, especially if you need to carry passengers or luggage. On the other hand, the Porsche 718 is a sports car, offering a thrilling driving experience with its performance and handling, but it might not be as practical for daily commuting or long trips with more than one passenger. As a student needing to drive on the highway to school, consider what aspects are most important to you: comfort and practicality, or sporty driving dynamics.
7I'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?
8Hey fellow car enthusiasts! I'm driving the BYD Song Plus fuel version and I feel like the steering wheel isn't quite responsive. I've set it to Comfort mode, but it still feels a bit stiff while driving. Could it be that there's some feature I haven't turned off?
9Hey guys, could you tell me which cars are in the same class as the Ford Taurus? Also, will driving a Taurus help my dad stand up straight?
10I 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.
