The configurations are basically the same, but an additional front seat ventilation costs 80,000 more. [facepalm]

Mini is too expensive. Are there any affordable alternatives with good performance? I've been thinking about Lynk & Co 02 and Zeekr X, as well as the smart, which is a bit more powerful. I really like the Mini, but it doesn't seem to offer great value for money. The cost of a three-cylinder Cooper could get you a Blue Mountain from AITO. It's really tough, and I'm also worried about the high maintenance costs. In short, I'm short on cash [facepalm].

Fellow car enthusiasts, my GS5's central control screen keeps rebooting. The 4S shop said the main unit is broken and it would cost 6k to replace it. [Facepalm] Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Is it possible to repair it?

Which is more worry-free and fuel-efficient, the manual high configuration of the Honda City or the Nissan Sunny with the same configuration?

Just asking for advice. Fellow car enthusiasts, does the CX30's tire easily get bulges like the 18-inch rims on the Mazda3? How about its fuel consumption and maintenance costs? Which configuration would you recommend? Is the fabric seat a good choice? Is it recommended to get the sunroof version? Any issues with leaking? Is the maintenance troublesome later on? Thanks.

Does this car have good off-road capabilities, suitable for road trips? The back seat seems really spacious, good for sleeping, right? I'm not too worried about fuel consumption since it's American, as long as it's not too bad. I'm just concerned that besides being big, it won't be like a car costing around a hundred thousand [facepalm][facepalm] How's the driving experience and all that?

The seat ventilation makes noise but doesn't blow air. The dealership said it might be the sponge slipping, and repairing it would require removing the seat and replacing the sponge, costing over 1000. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? How did you handle it?

Choosing between the G80 and the XFL depends on your personal preferences and needs. Here are some things to consider: 1. **Brand and Model**: - G80 generally refers to the Genesis G80, a luxury sedan known for its comfort and advanced technology. - XFL typically refers to the Jaguar XFL, which is the long-wheelbase version of the Jaguar XF, offering more rear-seat space and luxury features. 2. **Performance**: - Consider the engine options and horsepower each model offers. The G80 might offer a more powerful engine, while the XFL might focus on a balanced ride. 3. **Features**: - Look at the features each car offers, like the infotainment system, loudspeakers, safety features, and interior quality. The G80 is known for its tech-savvy features, while the XFL may emphasize luxury and style. 4. **Fuel Economy**: - Check the fuel economy for both. If fuel efficiency is a priority, this might influence your decision. 5. **Comfort and Space**: - If rear-seat space is important, the XFL might have the edge due to its extended wheelbase. 6. **Budget**: - Consider the price and what fits better within your budget, including maintenance costs. Ultimately, test driving both and considering these factors could help make your decision easier.

Why doesn't the third row of the Zeekr 009 have a heating function, even in the 6-seater executive version? In my opinion, since it's an executive version, all six seats should have heating, ventilation, and massage modes. The more luxurious the first two rows are, the more awkward the third row feels.

Is it normal to cost more than one RMB per kilometer? [facepalm]

I bought the 2025 Passat 380 Star Edition, and since we already have a 2024 330 Elite model at home, I was able to directly compare the two. The main differences come down to a few added features — like extra millimeter-wave radars, one additional camera, and three more ultrasonic sensors. Most of the other specs are nearly identical. The biggest improvement I noticed is in the adaptive cruise control, which is now more responsive and accurate. The rear parking sensors also trigger more easily. Fuel consumption is actually quite good: on highways and elevated roads, it averages around 7.1 L/100 km — nearly the same as the 330 (which ranges between 6.8 to 7.2 L). As for space, it's one of the main reasons I chose this car. We’ve got kids in the family, and this car is mainly for weekend outings and family use. Compared to the Magotan, the Passat offers better ride comfort, and its 2.87m wheelbase ensures a roomy interior. Feature-wise, the Passat covers everything needed for daily use: side mirrors that tilt automatically when reversing, ventilated and heated seats, auto hold, adaptive cruise, and active braking. It’s all there and makes daily driving much more convenient. Now for the downsides: the infotainment system feels outdated. The screen is too small, there's no built-in navigation worth using, and no wireless phone connectivity, which is a letdown in 2025. Also, there’s still a bit of jerkiness at low speeds that hasn’t been addressed. The gear shifter is still wrapped in leather but looks pretty basic. Overall, at this price point, the Passat is still a solid choice. It doesn’t have any major flaws, and it’s a good all-around car — perfect for someone who wants a reliable, practical ride without too much fuss or flash. Not the flashiest design, but definitely a sensible and balanced option.
