I bought a 2007 1.6 automatic luxury model for 16,000 in 2022. It was noisy and not easy to drive, so I ended up spending 12,000 on it gradually. I replaced the shock absorbers, engine mounts, stabilizer bar, light bulbs, bearings, and cleaned the engine—pretty much everything that needed fixing. It's much better to drive now and feels like it can last a few more years. I have to say, the parts are really cheap. The city fuel consumption averages 8.8, and I drive pretty aggressively.

I indeed paid quite a bit more, but since I'll be driving it for a few more years, it's not really a problem. I've enjoyed it, after all.

The price for a 2007 model is too high.

Do you have any issues with the rear wheel bearing noise on the F150? It's not very noticeable when driving, but when I shake it hard, there's a slight noise. Is it a big concern? Do I need to replace it? 🙏

I want to know about Maserati MC20. It's said that the engine is powerful. When driving, is it very noisy? Will it affect the experience?

I have a 2016 S5 manual, and recently the engine noise has become quite loud, with a rattling sound. The mechanic said the tensioner bearing is broken. When I'm driving and press the accelerator, there's a ticking sound that gets faster the more I press it, but it stops when I release the pedal. Does anyone know what might be happening...?

My Haval HS has been driven for over 12,000 kilometers. Today, after going out and just returning home, the engine emission fault appeared. When I put it in reverse gear, there's no response, but it drives in D gear. Is this issue serious? I'll go to the 4S shop for a checkup tomorrow!

I have a 2019 GS5, and since early August, there's been a buzzing noise when driving between 60-100 km/h. It feels like I'm flying a plane, especially when I turn right, it gets louder. The dealership said it was a wheel bearing issue, so I had the bearings replaced, then the tires, and even the half shaft, but the problem still isn't solved. Has anyone else had this kind of issue? Please point me in the right direction. I don't want to keep wasting money and time on blind repairs. [About to cry]

Hello everyone, sorry to bother you. I want to ask if the 2012 Subaru Legacy GT manual version is a good buy? Can the engine handle aggressive driving? Does the car have any major flaws?

The car looks pretty good, and I really like it. I'm not sure if there's a manual transmission available this time. I personally prefer it, as driving a manual gives a better feel.

I've been driving a Peugeot 307 for over ten years and I'm ready to change cars. However, I feel like it's hard to find a car in the same price range that matches its safety, stability, and handling. Does anyone have any recommendations?

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!
