Can I still buy it now? The configuration has been reduced, but the main components haven't been cut, right? Can anyone who bought it share some insights? It seems like only some electronic features are missing, which I don't mind as long as the main components are intact. Looks good if that's the case.

When buying a 2008 Yaris, here are some areas you should check: 1. **Exterior and Interior Condition**: Inspect for any signs of rust, dents, or scratches on the exterior. Check the interior for wear and tear, especially the seats, dashboard, and electronics. 2. **Engine and Transmission**: Listen for any unusual noises from the engine and ensure that the transmission shifts smoothly. Look for any leaks or corrosion. 3. **Brakes and Tires**: Check the condition of the brakes and ensure the tires have sufficient tread and are evenly worn. 4. **Suspension and Steering**: Test the suspension and steering for any unusual noises or stiffness. 5. **Electrical Systems**: Make sure all lights, indicators, and other electrical components are functioning properly. 6. **Service History**: Review the vehicle’s service history to ensure it has been well-maintained. After purchasing the car, here are some maintenance tips: 1. **Oil Change**: Start with an oil and oil filter change if it’s not recently done. 2. **Replace Air Filters**: Check and replace both the engine and cabin air filters if necessary. 3. **Check Fluids**: Ensure that all fluids (coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, etc.) are topped up and in good condition. 4. **Inspect Belts and Hoses**: Look for any signs of wear and replace if needed. 5. **Battery Check**: Ensure the battery is in good condition and clean the terminals if there is any corrosion. 6. **Spark Plugs**: Consider replacing the spark plugs if they haven’t been changed recently. 7. **Tire Maintenance**: Rotate the tires and check wheel alignment. By taking these steps, you’ll help ensure that your Yaris remains reliable and performs well.

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about getting a used Grand Cherokee and I'm torn between the 3.6 and the 3.0 models. I'm particularly concerned about the fuel consumption of the 3.6. Could fellow Jeep enthusiasts share some insights on the fuel consumption difference between these two engines? Thanks!

I've been driving a 2009 Kia Sportage manual GLS with 120,000 km on it. I've always used 5W-30 engine oil, but recently it seems to be burning oil a bit. Should I switch to 5W-40 oil for maintenance? Has anyone experienced this before and can share some insights?

Let me share my experience as well. I also have a 2017 MG ZS, one of the first batch from July, manual top configuration. Since then, apart from other issues, the main problem has been the car cutting off power when starting. The entire car loses power, and it won't start. It's fine today, but not tomorrow. The car often won't start. I've replaced several batteries and small parts, but the issue remains. Sigh, I'm disappointed. The car is still at the repair shop now, I'm afraid to drive it. If it stalls, it won't start again, which is frustrating. I used to be a loyal MG fan, but I'm really disappointed now. Next time I change cars, I won't choose MG anymore. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

My car delivery has been delayed for 6 weeks. Can I ask for compensation? Anyone with experience can share some insights?

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.

It’s now been 8 years since I got the car, and I’ve driven it for 230,000 km—and not once has it let me down. No breakdowns, no issues. It’s never even been to the dealership; all the maintenance was done at local workshops—just oil changes and basic stuff. On top of that, the yearly expenses—insurance, fuel, maintenance—have always been reasonable. I was planning to replace it in 2022, but some things happened at home—I spent a year and a half unemployed. During that time, I started driving for Uber with it. Then in 2024, I went back to my regular job. And since the car was still running great, I decided to stick with it—it still does the job. Of course, don’t expect high performance or speed—if you fill it up with passengers, it struggles a bit. But that’s not what it was built for anyway. It’s a car that simply gets you from point A to point B, without worries, and without draining your wallet. It’s extremely economical, not luxurious—but it gives you peace of mind. And honestly, in times like these, that’s what really matters.

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.
