I'd like to ask everyone here, what are the wheel parameters for the Brilliance V3, and how much does each one weigh approximately? Also, if I want to reduce the unsprung weight without changing the size of the Brilliance V3's wheels, which brands of wheels would be suitable?

The forging of MMX seems to reduce the weight by a few kilograms per piece, though I don't remember the exact number. The handling gets better, but the comfort might decrease a bit.

Then you'll have to go for forged wheels.

When the engine is idling, the RPM is stable at around 800. However, when you press the clutch and shift gears, the RPM increases to 1200 (without releasing the clutch, just purely shifting gears). What could be the reason for this? (The transmission, clutch, and flywheel have been checked and there are no abnormalities.) Car model: Manual rear-wheel drive Mazda 6-speed manual RX-8 Type S.

If you're deciding between the MG ZS and MG HS in Europe, here are some considerations: MG ZS comes with a 1.0T engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. However, it's a three-cylinder engine. On the other hand, the MG HS features a 1.5T engine with a dry dual-clutch transmission and is a four-cylinder. There are reports online that the MG HS might experience significant jerking issues after a year or two due to the dry dual-clutch transmission. You might want to weigh the pros and cons of each engine and transmission type based on your driving preferences and needs.

Hello fellow car enthusiasts, I'd like to ask which engine oils are suitable for the Macan S 3.0T. I'm planning to avoid servicing at the dealership. Is any 0W-20 oil okay?

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.

Honestly, the Lexus LX570 after its mid-cycle update has become more eye-catching than ever. The exterior design is bold, with a mix of luxury and modern flair that attracts younger buyers — and even older ones might find it impressive. But once you step inside, especially after hearing it's a full-size SUV, you're surprised to find the interior space isn't as generous as expected. I'm 180 cm tall and weigh 70 kg, and after adjusting the driver's seat to a comfortable position, there was only about 8 cm of legroom in the back — which feels tight for a car at this price point. That said, the interior materials are undeniably premium — the leather is soft and luxurious, and the entertainment and comfort features help make up for the space issue. Performance-wise, the 5.7L V8 engine offers plenty of power, but the throttle response is smooth and gradual. The car feels heavy, and the hydraulic steering gives almost no road feedback, with a noticeable delay between input and response. It honestly feels like you're driving on a mattress — completely isolated from the road, which doesn’t inspire much confidence if you're driving aggressively on pavement. However, if you think of it as an off-road vehicle, the story changes. The light steering actually helps absorb kickback when driving over rough terrain, and the adjustable air suspension gives you flexibility depending on the terrain. Add to that full-time four-wheel drive and multiple off-road assist modes, and the LX570 is a real beast off the beaten path. It’s a luxurious SUV clearly built for adventure, rather than sharp on-road performance.

I was looking for a good sedan, and I went through the usual headache of choices like anyone else. I looked at the Sentra and the Civic—each had something I liked, but also something that made me hesitant. The Sentra felt a bit too quiet for me—I’m still young—and while the Civic was tempting, I just couldn't fully buy into it. I randomly walked into a Toyota showroom, and right there in front of me was the Corolla. I took it for a test drive, and honestly, the sales team was incredibly polite and respectful—unlike the staff I’d dealt with at other dealerships. In the end, I was convinced and bought the hybrid Corolla. After a year of use, the car has been comfortable and smooth to drive, with no major issues. But it’s not without its annoyances—like the sluggish, outdated screen and the old-school head unit, so I replaced them. Even the seats and the center armrest would get dirty easily, so I had them covered in leather. The headlights were halogen, so I swapped them for LEDs. The horn also sounded weak, so I changed that too. In terms of performance, it's decent—not a rocket, but more than enough for daily commutes. At speeds over 120 km/h, the car felt a bit floaty, so I upgraded the wheels and tires from 16" to 17", which really improved its stability. The most impressive thing, hands down, has been the fuel consumption—it once dropped to 3.9L/100km! But after I accidentally reset the system, it now reads 5.3 and I can't figure out how to get it back. Space-wise, it's fine—comfortable up front, and okay for two people in the back, but three will feel cramped. The one thing that really bugs me is the A/C, especially for rear passengers. There aren’t effective rear vents, and airflow is a bit weak during summer. I enjoy tweaking my car, so I’ve done a lot of modifications—brakes, tires, wheels, lights, sound system, and a few small accessories. Overall, though, I’m satisfied. My advice for anyone planning to buy one: don't go for it just because everyone else is. Buy it because you’re personally convinced. Compare prices and features carefully. At the end of the day, the Corolla is a solid, respectable car. It won’t let you down, but it’s not perfect—there are things that need a bit of work, depending on your preferences and how willing you are to spend a little more after buying it.
