If you're considering the 2.0-liter model of the ASX, should you go for the automatic or manual transmission? Could someone knowledgeable provide some insights? Please discuss the failure rate, daily maintenance costs, and fuel consumption. Thanks!

What is the fuel consumption and failure rate of the 2012 imported Ford Edge with a 3.5-liter engine? Are maintenance parts easy to find?

To determine which is larger, a 1.5L engine or a 1.4T engine, you need to understand the difference between naturally aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. A 1.5L engine refers to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. On the other hand, a 1.4T engine has a displacement of 1.4 liters but is turbocharged, meaning it has a turbocharger that increases its power output. In terms of displacement alone, 1.5L is larger than 1.4L. However, the turbocharger in the 1.4T can provide additional horsepower and torque, potentially making it feel more powerful than the 1.5L, depending on the specific engine designs and tuning. So, if you're looking at just the displacement, 1.5L is larger. But in terms of performance, the 1.4T might offer more power due to the turbocharging.

How much does it cost to get a Maybach S480 on the road now? Can someone provide some insights?

I have an Iveco Daily with a short wheelbase and low roof. I'm thinking of replacing the rear steel plate. What type should I go for? I usually carry about two to three tons of cargo. Hope someone with knowledge can help me out.

I heard from the sales that the Levante is going to be discontinued. It won't be produced or updated in 2024. Will the used cars of this model increase or decrease in value? Can any knowledgeable folks provide some insight?

For daily use and light off-roading, which is more recommended between the V8 1UR engine and the 2UZ engine? I care more about failure rate and fuel consumption.

Does the 2020 ASX with a 2.0-liter engine have a window-closing function when locking the car?

I’ll share my personal test drive impressions of various SUVs in the same price range. Can anyone explain the difference in chassis feel between the GV70 Flagship and Luxury models? If there's someone who has driven both, please provide detailed insights! I've also tried SUVs of the same class like BBA, Volvo, and Jaguar. Personally, I think the new GLC has the best overall chassis quality, with Genesis coming in second. Genesis has the best sound insulation! The throttle response is the worst on the GLC! The X3, Q5, Genesis, Volvo, and Jaguar feel quite similar. Subjectively, the GV70 ranks in the top two for overall comfort and drivability. PS: The Q5 feels more filtered and softer. The X3 is a bit too ground-hugging and follows the road surface too much, which I don't like. Volvo is in the middle, but it has the worst sound insulation in its class! The GLC's chassis quality is great with a solid, integrated feel, but the throttle response is really lacking! The Jaguar F-Pace has a slightly firmer chassis and a more sporty driving feel, but its downside is average noise control with some resonance, and it has the smallest rear space. Genesis offers the best overall driving experience. Even with 21-inch wheels, the suspension is really excellent, and the power delivery is smooth and responsive. The space is similar to the X3.

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.
