Hi everyone, when I'm accelerating with my FJ and shifting gears, I notice that the shift from 4th to 5th gear feels more pronounced and abrupt. Is this normal? There are no error codes. It's not noticeable during normal driving, but if I deliberately pay attention to each gear shift, I can feel a slight jolt from 4th to 5th. To notice this, I have to keep the throttle steady without releasing or pressing it more. During the 4th to 5th shift, there's a noticeable abrupt feeling. However, if I ease off the throttle during the 4th to 5th shift, there's no issue at all. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I have a 2014 Honda City automatic. Recently, I've been having trouble shifting from neutral to drive (it can shift, but not smoothly). Other gears are fine, and this issue just started a few days ago. Does anyone know what's going on? Looking for expert advice!

Hi everyone, I want to ask if your Range Rover feels jerky at low speeds? Why does mine feel noticeably jerky? Also, there's some wind noise on the driver's side, and a bit of rattling on uneven roads in the back seat. Did I get a real Land Rover? 😎

2014 Peugeot 2008 manual transmission, the remote key can't unlock the driver's door (can open with the key), while the other three doors work fine. Any advice on how to solve this issue? 🙏🙏🙏

Hey guys, I seriously need your advice on something. Which one would you recommend between the Mercedes C350eL and the Genesis G80 2WD Luxury version? I haven't really driven much before, so I couldn't really feel the difference in mechanical quality and handling performance during the test drive. I just enjoy listening to music usually, so please help me out! 🙏🙏

After 8 years with my old petrol car, it started burning oil, and I noticed a lot of people around me were switching to electric vehicles. That got me thinking. I was originally planning to get the top-spec Tank 300 (Menglong), and during the National Day holiday I went for a test drive — it met my expectations.On the way back, I stopped by a Jetour dealership and saw the T2. My daughter instantly fell in love with the exterior and interior — it completely overshadowed the Menglong in her eyes. Looks clearly played a big role, and after a test drive, it felt good enough. Since I don’t really need 4WD for daily driving, I booked it right away. Looking back now, I do wish I had waited for the 4WD version — a bit more power would’ve been nice.For this type of vehicle, electric power saves a lot. For daily use, my cost is just around 0.10 AED/km (charging at home on off-peak rates of 3.3 AED/kWh). My daily round-trip to work is under 20 km, so I only charge every four days, when the battery hits around 20%.For long-distance trips, I don’t bother with charging — it’s too much hassle. I just set the car to preserve 60% battery and drive on petrol. Even if fuel consumption is slightly higher, it’s fine since I only do a few road trips per year.The car is heavy and feels solid on the road. Acceleration is decent, but the 4WD version definitely would’ve offered better power and confidence. I’ve had the car for over half a year now. So far, the only issue has been a slight noise from the steering system — which was fixed. Other than that, no major problems. Buying a car always involves a bit of luck anyway.The biggest downside is the driver assistance system — it lags behind the competition. The infotainment system has improved a bit with the latest 4.11 update, but it still has room for improvement.Overall, I’m quite satisfied. Compared to many newer EV startups, Chery is an established brand. The lifetime warranty adds a lot of peace of mind, especially on the powertrain and electric components.

My Experience with the Nissan Sunny After 7 Years of Ownership I consider myself one of the long-time owners of the Nissan Sunny, and honestly, I can say it’s an ideal car for beginners. It’s easy to drive, very fuel-efficient, compact in size, yet surprisingly spacious inside compared to other cars in its class. While the exterior design isn’t the most attractive, it makes up for it with excellent interior comfort. I’ve had the car for almost 7 years and haven’t faced any major mechanical issues — just regular maintenance. One time, I noticed the passenger-side sun visor wasn’t properly attached to the ceiling, but I hadn't noticed it at delivery. Recently, the driver’s side window auto-up function stopped working — now I have to hold the button manually. At the end of 2020, the original battery started to weaken. It barely started the car in the morning and then failed completely in the afternoon, so I replaced it. To be fair, the battery’s lifespan was impressive compared to other cars — some of my friends replace theirs every year or two. Yes, small Japanese sedans like the Sunny aren’t known for advanced safety features. But I had a minor accident, and the Sunny held up pretty well. I rarely go over 120 km/h, and that speed is more than enough for me. The highway noise is noticeable, which is expected in budget-friendly cars. As for power? It's enough. Perfect for beginners, and even when the car is fully loaded, it still handles daily family use just fine. Conclusion: The Nissan Sunny is practical, economical, and reliable. It's not a luxury car, but it gets the job done — and more. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a simple, affordable car that can last for years, especially new drivers or small families.

Honestly, I really liked the car’s exterior and interior design. We have to admit that German engineering is truly top-notch—especially when it comes from established brands like Mercedes. Positives: On the highway, the car is incredibly stable. Sometimes I find myself going 140 km/h without even realizing it—it's a huge difference from my old car (which was an Accord). This time I ordered it with the "Burmester" sound system, and the audio clarity—especially for vocals—is amazing. The exterior design grabs attention—it has presence. And the interior ambient lighting at night creates an incredible vibe. The infotainment system is very fast; navigation through menus is smooth and seamless. Fuel consumption is low—when driving in ECO mode, it goes below 7 liters per 100 km, which is excellent for a car of this class. Negatives: The driver’s seat is a bit tight. At low speeds, there's some hesitation or jerkiness in the gearbox. It’s not annoying, but you do notice it. The standard features are very weak—Mercedes really makes you pay extra for everything: seat heating? Extra. Keyless entry? Extra. In-car fragrance? Also extra! And the strangest part is that a car at this price point doesn’t even come with a power tailgate! Plus, if you don’t choose the optional extras, they tell you “no ready cars, you’ll have to wait”—especially toward the end of the year.

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.
