Hello, ES200 owners! Quick question: Do the rear door limit rods bring out water every time you open or close the doors? And does the rear window bring out water when you roll it up or down? The front doesn't have this issue. Also, the weather hasn't been rainy, and I haven't washed the car either.

Passenger side rear footwell is mysteriously accumulating water, while the other three spots are dry. The headliner is also normal with no water stains. It's just the passenger side rear that's wet! Can anyone help me figure this out?
Hello everyone! My brother's about to order a car. He's interested in the LTD with full-time 4WD for driving on highways in wet weather but also likes the Offroad version with rear locker + KDSS. So, I have a few questions: 1) Can the LTD have a rear axle locker installed? How about the ARB air locker, is it a non-destructive modification, and how's the quality? 2) In rainy or snowy weather with the Offroad version, what happens if you drive fast in two-wheel drive? Isn't it unsafe due to slipping? If you switch to H4, does it have a center differential, and what's the maximum speed you can go (80 km/h)? 3) If we end up buying the LTD, can we modify it with the TRD front bumper? The TRD front really looks good. Thanks, everyone!
Hey Swift buddies, can someone tell me where the water leak is if there's water accumulating under the rear seat on the driver's side during rainy days? There's no water anywhere else, just this spot on the left side of the rear seat.
41.8L 2017 automatic luxury model with just over 50,000 km on the odometer. It's a red car with quite a few scratches on the exterior. It had a front-end accident but only needed a front set replacement, no damage to the frame. The right rear door has some bodywork done. However, the engine, transmission, air conditioning, and car system are all in excellent condition. You can test it out before deciding. It's a great choice for practice driving.
5Any good ways to remove the water streaks on the car door from the left side mirror after a car wash? Thanks!
6I bought the full-option 600 km version of the electric EZ6, and honestly, I’m very satisfied with it. It really drives like a petrol car — the transition was easy, and I didn’t feel much difference. I only use it in the city, and so far, it’s averaging around 11.3 kWh per 100 km, which is excellent. The car is rear-wheel drive with an impressively tuned suspension. Cornering at 60–80 km/h feels smooth and stable — it really grips the road, making it perfect for mountain roads. I honestly wouldn’t recommend test driving it unless you’re ready to buy — it’s that convincing! The interior is elegant, with 14 speakers and great sound quality. However, one small issue: there’s no light on the vanity mirror, which can be a bit annoying. After installing the rear spoiler, I noticed what seemed like improved efficiency — maybe due to better aerodynamics, or maybe just my imagination. In eco mode, the car can get close to 600 km of range in the city — without using the A/C. In summer with A/C on, it drops to around 550 km. If you switch to sport mode and drive over 100 km/h, the consumption can go over 15 kWh per 100 km. One downside is the limited infotainment system — despite the great sound system, you’re mostly stuck with music. Also, some settings have to be manually re-enabled every time you start the car — probably for safety reasons. As for comfort, my family loves it — especially the kids in the back. The wireless phone charger works perfectly, and Bluetooth connects quickly. The trunk is very spacious, and there’s even extra storage under the hood, which is great. I take good care of the car — I always use a car cover when parking outside, and the interior really gives off a premium feel. During the day, I try to save energy by turning off unnecessary lights and filters. One feature I really love is the remote parking after getting out — it’s super accurate and genuinely useful. Honestly, it’s a great car and definitely worth test driving if you’re considering an EV.
7I recently tried out the new Kia K3, and honestly, the exterior design hasn’t changed much from the previous model. It still carries Kia’s signature styling, especially with the signature “tiger nose” grille, which is now split into two sections. The upper part is narrow with a honeycomb pattern, connected to sharp-looking headlights with LED strips shaped like arrows — a sporty and stylish touch. The lower grille is trapezoidal, which makes the front look wider, and there are air vents on each side that add an aggressive edge. From the side, the car looks clean and modern with blacked-out side mirrors and window trim. The wheels have a blade-like design — sharp and eye-catching. At the rear, there’s a subtle black ducktail spoiler and a full-width LED light bar connected by a red strip — a nice upgrade over the previous split taillights. Inside, it has a sleek, all-black interior that feels refined and well put together. It features a sporty flat-bottom steering wheel, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a floating infotainment screen. The screen itself looks simple but functions well and is easy to use. The seats are well-stitched with ventilation holes in the backrest, which really help in hot weather, and they’re quite comfortable overall. The rear seat space is generous — I had around 2 to 3 fists of legroom, and the floor is nearly flat, so even three people in the back won’t feel cramped. The rear seats offer good support too, with a deep cushion that helps you find a comfortable position easily. The model I drove had a 1.4L turbo engine, which is noticeably better than previous versions, paired with a 7-speed DCT. Acceleration between 30–80 km/h is solid, and the throttle responds quickly. After 90 km/h, there's a slight delay before the full power kicks in. Braking is smooth and confident at high speeds, but at low speeds, the pedal feels a bit soft at first — takes a little getting used to. Overall, it's a comfortable and enjoyable car to drive, and I think it’s a great option for anyone looking for a sporty yet practical daily car.
