The car just launched recently and there were no discounts. I bought it at the official price, and all they gave me were floor mats and basic window tint, which I didn’t really like. Most of my driving is within the city, and I use the AI mode — so it runs fully on electric most of the time. There’s no engine noise or vibration, and the cabin is very quiet, especially with the double-layer front windows. Fuel consumption is excellent — the gasoline engine rarely kicks in. The seat ventilation works great, but I’m a bit worried about the beige interior getting dirty. I’m still undecided whether to add seat covers since they might affect the cooling. The 5.0 infotainment screen looks good and is easy to use — just like a smartphone — but updates are slow, and some features are still locked. As for smart driving, it’s just average for now. BYD hasn’t really stood out in that area yet.

I took a look at the Arteon owners' group, and as expected, there were a bunch of comments about how the value for money isn't as good as other cars. 🤦‍♂️ People who buy this car aren't really looking for value for money. You can't think with the same mindset as them, you're just not on the same wavelength. 😄

Has anyone's particle filter gotten clogged? Mine clogs once a year, it's really troublesome. This car doesn't burn it off even on the highway, rarely goes over 2000 RPM, so it basically can't burn off. How do you guys deal with it? Do you just run it in third gear at 6000 RPM to clear it?

It's over, right? Back then, those HiPhi car owners who blamed me were really smart, weren't they? You guys are just so clever. Ding Lei made a car like a cheap little runabout and convinced you it was better than a Ferrari, and you actually believed it. Now that Ding Lei has taken off with your money, are you still happy about it?

Is the lumbar support of the standard 14-way seats on the 992.1 unable to fully retract into the backrest? Even when adjusted all the way in, it still sticks out and presses against the lower back. It's really uncomfortable over time.

The auto parking feature is really bad. Despite having a parking space, it just can't recognize it. What's the point of buying the top model? Everyone says to support domestic products, but silently supporting them only to be let down! Are you still there?

Haven't driven my car for a few days. Almost fell asleep when my neighbor messaged me saying my car's hazard lights were flashing. Went downstairs and sure enough, they were. No alarm, just the hazard lights. Couldn't turn it off with the key, so I had to get in, start the car, and turn off the hazard lights to stop it. Really bizarre.

I've had my Cyrus for just over two months, and the main switch for the window lifter seems to be malfunctioning. When I press it down, the other windows can still move freely. Has anyone else experienced this issue? 😊

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!

Since I got the car, I’ve driven it a few times on intercity highways and elevated city roads. At first, fuel consumption was quite high — around 12 L/100 km — but after some regular use, it dropped to 7.8. It hasn’t gone any lower since then, even though I’ve only driven about 500 km in less than a month. Honestly, every time I refuel, it stings a little 😅. This is my first car, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but driving feels smooth overall. Once you hit 100 km/h, tire noise becomes noticeable, but throttle response during overtaking is pretty decent. The thing that annoyed me most is the infotainment system. There’s no built-in CarPlay, so I bought an external adapter. While it technically works, Bluetooth is unstable, and the navigation voice won’t come through the car speakers. On top of that, the system randomly activates and starts saying weird things, and the voice assistant sometimes greets you with “Hi” and other times with “I’m here” — honestly, it feels awkward. I’m not sure if all Japanese brands do this, or just this one. As for interior space, the rear seat area is quite good, but the new car smell is still strong, so I’ve thrown in a bunch of charcoal bags to absorb it. Overall, I’m satisfied for a first car, but there are definitely things that could be better.

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.
