My Yizhi is a 2011 model produced in 2013. The chassis is quite stable, but the driving experience is too stiff due to the suspension. Any experts have tips to solve this?

In June, I replaced my car's shocks with KYB black ones from Tuhu. I used them for 3 months before selling the car, so I took them off. I originally bought them for almost 600, now selling for 400.

I also hear a creaking noise from the back when going over bumps. I think it might be an issue with the stabilizer bar bushings, but I haven't had the time to check it out yet.

Replace the shock absorber.

The suspension of the Chuan Yue Zhe is quite stiff. Can anyone recommend a good suspension for me? Thanks.

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, the chassis of the GV80 feels too stiff, and the ride comfort is really poor and bumpy. The roads I'm driving on aren't even that bad. It seems like having no air suspension is really an issue. Any suggestions?

My Peugeot 207's suspension feels quite stiff. Is there something wrong? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with their car? I have a 2013 Peugeot 207 sedan.

I’ll share my personal test drive impressions of various SUVs in the same price range. Can anyone explain the difference in chassis feel between the GV70 Flagship and Luxury models? If there's someone who has driven both, please provide detailed insights! I've also tried SUVs of the same class like BBA, Volvo, and Jaguar. Personally, I think the new GLC has the best overall chassis quality, with Genesis coming in second. Genesis has the best sound insulation! The throttle response is the worst on the GLC! The X3, Q5, Genesis, Volvo, and Jaguar feel quite similar. Subjectively, the GV70 ranks in the top two for overall comfort and drivability. PS: The Q5 feels more filtered and softer. The X3 is a bit too ground-hugging and follows the road surface too much, which I don't like. Volvo is in the middle, but it has the worst sound insulation in its class! The GLC's chassis quality is great with a solid, integrated feel, but the throttle response is really lacking! The Jaguar F-Pace has a slightly firmer chassis and a more sporty driving feel, but its downside is average noise control with some resonance, and it has the smallest rear space. Genesis offers the best overall driving experience. Even with 21-inch wheels, the suspension is really excellent, and the power delivery is smooth and responsive. The space is similar to the X3.

I bought a second-hand 2013 2.0 Peugeot 3008, and I feel like the rear suspension is really stiff. What can I do about it? Going over speed bumps makes people bounce up. Any advice from experts?

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.

I’m someone who likes a car to be practical and comfortable, so I was looking for something with enough space. Honestly, the GLC surprised me! The rear seat space is excellent, and the trunk is more than sufficient without any hassle. Sure, it doesn’t have a spare tire, but personally, I don’t need one—especially since it’s a daily-use vehicle. When it comes to interior design, Mercedes is always ahead. I looked at cars like the S90 and Q5 before, but I felt the GLC suited my taste more—especially with the natural wood trim instead of piano black, which gets dirty and scratched easily. The only thing I didn’t like about the interior was the speakers—they look very plain and don’t have any branding, so they feel like something’s missing. Driving the car is comfortable and stable. The 260 model with around 200 horsepower is more than enough for my needs, and I didn’t see a reason to go for the 300 model. I also test-drove the C-Class, but I found it too stiff and not comfortable, especially over bumps. Fuel consumption is currently between 8 and 9 liters per 100 km in the city, and since the car is still in the break-in period, that seems reasonable to me for a 2.0 turbo engine. What really bothered me, though, was the downgrade in features due to the parts shortage—especially the Burmester sound system, which they removed from all the new trims! I was planning to get it, but it completely disappeared from the catalog. On top of that, if you want to install it later through the dealership, they ask for over 30,000! Honestly, I’m thinking of going to an aftermarket shop and getting a good sound system installed myself. I moved from an old BYD to the GLC, and I can say honestly: no car is perfect, but the one that fits your needs is the best car for you. Sometimes you should look for what’s most suitable, not necessarily the most luxurious. And when you find a car that truly gives you peace of mind, you feel completely satisfied with your decision.
