Hey guys, is a 10-year-old MX5 with a budget of 100,000 good to drive? Does it break down easily? Is it easy to sell? I'm a student considering it as my first car.

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to change my car. I'm thinking of trading in my old GWM C30 and making a down payment of around 100,000. Any recommendations for a sedan in the 150,000 to 200,000 range?

I'm considering getting an H7 because I like the spacious back seat and the solid appearance. I often drive on highways, so I'm okay with the fuel consumption. I'm wondering about the fault rate. How often does it break down? I usually have a few long trips of about a thousand kilometers each year, and I'm worried about getting stranded. Thanks, everyone! (*°∀°)=3

What would be a reasonable price to buy a 10-year-old car with a 1.4L engine and 100,000 kilometers on the odometer, with only some paint touch-ups? Or is it even worth considering for purchase?

Model X owners, what cars are you upgrading to or purchasing? I currently have a 2017 Model X 100D 5-seater, which is over 4 years old. Recently, when going out with my daughter, I often have to let her mom drive so I can sit in the back with her. The rear seats are really uncomfortable, and my daughter tends to get carsick easily. I'm thinking about getting another car, considering 6-7 seat SUVs or MPVs, but haven't decided yet. What have you all bought?

Does the 10-year-old Honda City rust easily? I've heard that this car is prone to rusting.

I'm considering getting an old Outback and I'm torn between the late fourth generation and the early phase of the fourth-and-a-half generation. From what I've read, many posts say that the last EJ25 doesn't burn oil as severely as the first FB25.

Hello Polestar 2 owners! My family is considering getting an electric car for my wife, with a budget of around 100,000. We're worried about buying a new electric car and then regretting it later, so we're thinking about getting a used Polestar 2, either the 2020 launch edition or the 2021 model. I want to ask if this car is reliable as a second-hand option and if the range is dependable. Is it still a good choice to buy?

Since this is our first family car, we decided to go with a petrol vehicle that’s suitable for both city driving and long trips. After trying out and comparing many cars — Korean, Japanese, and even some Chinese hybrids — we finally chose the 2025 Changan Eado High-Energy Edition. Honestly, the first thing that made me choose it was the design — I really liked how the car looks, and the color matched my personal taste perfectly. The second reason was the engine — the 1.5L turbo is more than enough for highway driving. Even though it's a small engine, it delivers excellent power on the road, and at the same time, it’s fuel-efficient in the city — unlike a 2.0L that would consume more. The third and most important reason was the price — I see it as an excellent deal. I ended up with a good-looking car that’s packed with features. As for daily use, both my wife and I are new drivers, so having 360° cameras was a huge plus — it helped us a lot with parking and narrow roads. Honestly, without them, we wouldn’t have dared to enter many places. The car's performance is solid, acceleration is great, and just a slight push on the gas gets it moving quickly. The space is also impressive — three people can sit comfortably in the back, and the trunk has enough room for travel and groceries when we return from family visits. The smart features are also really helpful — I can use voice commands to control the A/C, start navigation, or play music without taking my hands off the steering wheel. On top of that, the car has a built-in dashcam that records continuously. Just insert a memory card and it overwrites old footage automatically. Exporting videos is easy too. In short, for around AED 70,000, I got a car that meets all my needs and protects me from the heat and the rain. It’s been an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a practical and affordable car.

To be honest, I didn’t buy the Corolla out of strong conviction at first. Back in April, I quickly bought a used car from the local market before the Eid holidays. Turned out to be a total disaster. I was in a rush and didn’t have time to go to a mechanic or deal with any hassle, so I drove it for a bit, sold it, and moved on. After that, I decided I wanted to buy something brand new, something I could stick with for 10 years without any headaches. I liked the look of both the Civic and the Corolla. I went to check them out, and while the Civic was really impressive, it was a bit too expensive—so I settled on the Corolla. Overall, the car is smooth and comfortable to drive. But when you're on an incline or waiting at a light on an uphill road, you can feel it struggle to get going—you have to press the gas harder, and the engine gets louder without the car really moving much. The front seats are good, but the rear bench isn’t very spacious. I was honestly disappointed to find that the rear seats don’t fold down, so if you want to carry large items, you’re out of luck. As for fuel consumption—those people claiming 5L/100km, I honestly don’t know how they’re getting that. In the city, I’ve been getting around 6.8 to 7.2, and I’m not a heavy-footed driver. From February 2 to early April, I drove about 4,600 km because I was using it for errands after work and even took a long round trip to Alexandria. One thing I really noticed is that the car doesn’t handle rough roads well—you really feel the bumps. In traffic, sometimes the car shakes a bit when moving slowly around 10 or 15 km/h—not always, but it happens. There's also a faint squeaking noise, like the A/C button is slightly loose—it only shows up on bumpy roads. Still, none of this changes the fact that the car is generally reliable and stable. It drives easily, and honestly, I’m quite content with it—especially after what I went through with that used car. For anyone thinking about getting a Corolla, just be realistic about what you’re looking for. It’s a great car for someone who wants something long-lasting, even if there are a few things that aren’t perfect.
