Let me start with my story — I graduated from university in 2022 and just recently entered the working world. I’ve been working for a year now, I’m 23 years old, and I don’t have much in savings. Thankfully, my income is stable and my family supported me financially to buy a car. Being young and excited, I was deciding between the Mercedes A-Class and the Nissan Altima. I really liked the A-Class — even test-drove it and negotiated prices with several dealerships — but honestly, I eventually realized it wasn’t the right choice for me at this stage, so I went with the Altima instead. I got the car for AED 169,000 (white color + AED 2,000 extra). On delivery day, the salesperson wouldn’t let me take the car unless I paid another AED 2,000 for 9 service visits! Dealerships always try to pressure you at the last minute, but I went along with it. The exterior? Honestly, it looks a bit like the Nissan Sentra — just longer. Not a huge difference. But with a few minor modifications, you can make it look much better. The car sits low to the ground — I scraped the bottom just a week after getting it, so be careful. The interior? It’s fine — not luxurious, but not bad either. Gets the job done. Space? Absolutely great. I’m 175 cm tall and weigh 140 pounds, and every seat feels spacious and comfortable. Driving experience? I got the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. Acceleration is smooth but not powerful — especially in Eco mode, the car feels sluggish. But comfort-wise? Amazing. Right after picking it up, I drove over 300 km in one go and didn’t feel tired at all. The insulation and ride comfort are great, especially for people who drive long distances or go on road trips. Pros: Reliability — Nissan has a good reputation, and the 2.0L is more than enough if you’re not into high performance. The car is really comfortable — even my parents were very happy riding in it. Cons: Fuel economy isn’t the best. On the highway, it’s around 5L/100km, but in the city, it can go up to 8 or 9. Less than two weeks in, I started hearing a slight noise from the rear window. And as with many Japanese cars — the paint is very thin. I accidentally tapped a parked scooter near my house, and it left a scratch. But in the end, I don’t regret getting the Altima. It’s comfortable, practical, reliable — a great choice for young people looking for a car that will serve them well for years without headaches.

To all C40 owners, just wondering, does the new car have any smell? My XC60 had no smell at all, but since the C40 is an electric vehicle and doesn’t have leather interiors, I’m worried it might have a smell which could make me car sick.

Today, when I went to check out the Porsche 718 and Mercedes E-Coupe, the Porsche salesperson recommended a nearly new Porsche Taycan to me. Do you guys recommend it? My family has never had an electric car, but I'm young and really like two-door sports cars. I'm not sure what to choose.

What should I do if the sunroof of my 2011 Nissan Sunny is rusted? I bought a second-hand car. Does it need repair?

Why don't young people drive this car? [Crying] I asked around and none of my peers have it.

No money for a new car, how can I modify my old Nissan Sunny?

My car is just over 3 years old and has only 36,000 kilometers on it. The electric tailgate is acting up right after the warranty expired for a month. So frustrating! I asked about it, and they said it would cost over 2,000 to replace. Plus, at the 4S shop, they just told me it's out of warranty...

Final round: How to choose between the 2024 Nissan Altima Comfort, 2024 Toyota Camry Elite, and 2024 Toyota Avalon Entry?

Can I add CarPlay to the 2022 Nissan Altima if it doesn't come with it originally? Is there anyone who knows how to do it?

Could someone please tell me how to open the trunk of the 2014 Nissan X-Trail Comfort version? I couldn't find the trunk button.

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.
