Once the speed reaches 80, there's a lot of wind noise, and the doors feel like they're leaking air, but I can't find the exact spot. Is this a common issue or do the doors have a problem?

When driving on the G7 highway, in the section from Inner Mongolia to Xinjiang, you might hear a whistling sound from the driver's seat. However, there's no dusty smell.

It's normal, after all, the front windshield is relatively steep.

I've had my car for four and a half years and it's only done 36,000 km. It's a 2019 model with the 4J11 engine. Recently, when I start it cold, the engine struggles a lot. The RPM doesn't go up immediately, and the needle wobbles between 500 and 1000 for a few seconds, making it feel like it's about to stall. Then the RPM suddenly jumps to 2000-3000 before settling back to normal idle after a few seconds. There are no warning lights, and once it's running, everything seems normal. I've cleaned the carbon buildup and throttle, and checked the intake for leaks, but the issue persists. I'm not sure what to check next. What should I look into?

After turning off the engine and locking the car, the driver's side window automatically rolls down. While driving, the driver's window button is sometimes responsive and sometimes not. Whether raising or lowering, once the button is pressed, the window moves directly to the bottom and won't stop in the middle. After reaching the end, you can still hear a clicking sound inside the door panel. Is the window button broken? Could you provide a replacement tutorial, preferably with a video?

Jetur X70, 2020 model. I started having a coolant leak, and when pressure was applied, the leak point was found. The four-way valve was replaced, and the heating pipe and water inlet pipe were tightened. It was also discovered that the water pump was leaking, and eventually, everything was replaced. However, after refilling the coolant, the mechanic found that the engine temperature was high, but it drops as soon as the heater is turned on. They spent half a day but couldn't find the problem, and the car not being fixed has caused a lot of issues. Have you encountered this before? How did you handle it?

Help needed, fellow Peugeot owners! Ever since my little Peugeot went on a continuous uphill drive for over an hour a few days ago, it's been having issues. The RPMs go up, but the speed doesn't. It's not too bad when not on the highway, as pressing the accelerator quickly gets the RPMs and speed up. But once I'm on the highway and going over 80-90 km/h, I need to press the gas to at least 2000 RPMs for the speed to increase very slowly. On inclines, if I don't reach 2500 RPMs, the speed drops. I never had to go over 2000 RPMs on the highway before. What's going on? 🌹

Is sunroof leaking and rear door handle not retracting a common issue?

There's a bug in the fuel consumption mileage stats of the Nissan X-Trail EP, which causes it to reset automatically. This has happened a few times, and each time all the data on the "Since Last Refuel" page gets cleared. I'm not sure if it's a bug. It's still hard to pinpoint the exact conditions for the issue to reoccur, but I can confirm it should include the following: 1. Long periods of idling without turning off the engine 2. Unlocking the car doors 3. Leaving the car with the key (out of sensing range) Then, when you return, you'll find the data has reset. This has happened three times, and looking back, it was pretty much under these circumstances.

I had been browsing car websites for a while and looked at models like Jetour. When the compact version of the Sportage was released, I was really drawn to its bold design—but once they announced the price, I knew it was out of my budget. So I went back to looking at cars like the Jetta VS5 and BinYue. I wasn’t in a hurry because I was using a friend’s car, but when he moved to another emirate, I had no choice but to buy my own. I consulted with my family and started visiting dealerships. I was planning to go with the Jetta, but at the dealership, I saw the compact Sportage in front of me, tried it out, and really liked it. It felt right, and the price fit my budget, so I went ahead and decided to buy it. After some back-and-forth with the salesman, we closed the deal. I'm 173 cm tall, and the front seat is spacious—I have good headroom—and the back is very comfortable. You can stretch your legs easily, and the trunk space is more than enough. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. Sound insulation, though, is an issue! Tire noise is noticeable, and if you open the windows, you get a strong wind sound. Even the engine gets loud when you press the gas. Some people mentioned water leaks or strange noises, but I haven’t experienced that so far. I did get a bit of fog inside one of the headlights. I haven’t driven it much yet, but the company gave me six free services over three years, plus a AED 500 workshop voucher. The car has a 2.0L engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission—it’s been smooth and hassle-free so far. The power is enough for me. In sport mode, it responds quickly and drives smoothly. Of course, everyone dreams of a V8, but I like driving calmly—I’m not the type to race off at traffic lights. As for fuel consumption, it’s still too early to judge—I’ve only done about 100 km. The average so far is 10L/100km, and the best I got was 8.1. Some say they’ve managed 5.9, but realistically I think around 7 is more typical. There’s no such thing as a perfect car—just pick what you like and can live with. If the design and features work for you and the price fits your budget, go for it. The most important thing is that you’re comfortable with your choice.

I've had the car for about a month now, and honestly, I feel like it's a great fit for younger drivers. The design is sporty, and the interior space turned out to be better than I expected, so I didn’t hesitate to go ahead and place the order. At first glance, the look is pretty standard — nothing too flashy — and the car sits lower than most other SUVs. So far, I’ve driven around 600 km. Fuel consumption is currently between 8.8 to 9 L/100 km, mostly city driving. I haven’t taken it on the highway much yet, but I believe the fuel economy will improve over time. Acceleration is quite strong — it uses the same engine as the Civic — though I don't push it hard often; I only tried flooring it once just to see how it feels. The rearview camera is clear, and I didn’t install a 360° system since I’m used to using the mirrors, but I might add it later — blind spots are always a risk. Friends and coworkers who sat in the back all said the space felt pretty good. What annoyed me the most is the infotainment system. Wireless CarPlay has a 1–2 second delay, which isn’t terrible but still noticeable. I’ve seen people online claim some versions have zero delay — not sure how true that is. The voice assistant is also a bit frustrating; it sometimes activates randomly in the middle of a conversation and starts talking out of nowhere! The horn also sounds cheap — one guy compared it to an electric scooter and honestly, I couldn’t agree more. Another weird thing: there’s no one-touch window up/down feature, which feels like a missed basic feature. And the sound insulation is weak — you can clearly hear wind and tire noise, especially at higher speeds. I usually end up turning up the music just to drown it out — maybe that's just typical for Japanese cars? Overall though, as my first car, I’m pretty satisfied. I don’t have much experience with other cars yet, so this is just my perspective. Hope it helps anyone considering this car — no offense intended to anyone!

I’ve had my Nissan Sunny for nearly 7 years now, and from personal experience, I can tell you it’s one of the best cars for someone who’s just learned to drive or wants a simple, reliable vehicle. It’s incredibly easy to drive—compact in size but not cramped inside. You can slip it into any tight spot without overthinking, and the interior space is actually comfortable, especially in the back. It’s clearly designed with families in mind. Its exterior design isn’t flashy, and a lot of people criticize how it looks—but I see that as part of the car’s philosophy. It’s meant to be a practical car, not something for show. If you want a car that turns heads, you can look elsewhere. Personally, I wanted something that would last and make life easier—not something to brag about. Over these seven years, aside from regular maintenance, I haven’t had any major issues. Just a few small things that came up with time—like the driver’s side window switch no longer working automatically, so now I just roll it up manually. Also, in 2020, the original battery finally gave out, which was expected—and honestly, it lasted longer than I thought it would. Some people say it’s not safe enough, but honestly, I had a minor accident once—got hit by another car—and the Sunny didn’t suffer serious damage, and no one got hurt. That’s what matters most. Sure, it doesn’t come with loads of safety features, but for its price, you can’t expect top-tier specs. I’m not someone who drives fast—I’ve never gone over 120 km/h—so the car has always been stable for me, with no issues. The cabin gets a bit noisy at higher speeds, but that’s normal for this class and hasn’t impacted my overall experience. The engine isn’t powerful, but it gets the job done and gets me where I need to go without stress.
