Is it advisable to buy this car second-hand for my wife for commuting purposes, to save some money? How's the quality? Are there many minor issues? Mainly concerned about repairs since there's no warranty on an electric car.

Exclude this one. BYD is the top choice for commuting.

Buying this used car for commuting doesn't seem worth it. Maybe consider checking out other brands in the same price range.

This car isn't very suitable for commuting, unlike the Seagull. It has a large turning radius and feels like driving a big vehicle.

Hello fellow car enthusiasts, I'm considering getting an S80. Could you advise on which engine size offers the best value for money? Also, does this car have a lot of minor issues?

If you're considering a pickup and are looking at the T8por and GWM King Kong Cannon, here's how you might choose: 1. **用途**: Since you won't be hauling heavy items and primarily driving from the countryside to the town, both options could work for you. Consider which one feels more comfortable for your typical drives. 2. **燃油经济型 (Fuel Economy)**: Check the fuel economy of both models to see which one is more efficient, especially if you'll be driving frequently. 3. **舒适度和配置**: Look at the comfort features and configurations of each. Consider things like the interior space, loudspeaker quality, and any tech features that might be important to you. 4. **价格和性价比**: Compare the pricing and what you get for the money with each model. Consider which one offers better value for your specific needs. 5. **品牌偏好**: If you have a preference for a particular brand, that might influence your decision. Ultimately, test driving both models could provide you with a better sense of which pickup fits your needs and preferences.

When considering whether to buy the Lotus Eletre priced at 82k or 102k, it can indeed be a tough decision, especially since 20k is a significant amount. If the primary use is for commuting and occasional weekend outings with your wife, think about what features or upgrades the extra 20k offers and whether they align with your needs.

I want to get a new car for my wife. She's currently driving an IS. After looking at a lot of cars, only the G70 shooting brake seems relatively pleasing. Here are my main concerns: 1. A friend mentioned that there's not much difference between the two cars, and the IS might be slightly better, so it may not be significant. 2. Recently, many car companies are offering discounts and promotions, but the manufacturer currently shows no sign of doing so. 3. Both cars require ordering and production scheduling, which means a long waiting time, making it awkward. 4. Since it's all about ordering and production scheduling, the options and configurations are not flexible enough. 5. I'm worried about their sales and the potential of dealership closures. Have any other car owners faced similar awkward issues? [Facepalm]

I'm considering buying a used diesel Grand Cherokee with a budget of around 150,000. My budget is limited, and as a working-class individual, I'm considering diesel for its fuel efficiency. I'm currently driving a 2.0T Mondeo, and the fuel consumption for commuting is 11 liters per 100 km. My concern is that some people say diesel engines are unstable and have high maintenance costs later on. My driving scenario is mainly commuting to work, with a daily round trip of 20 km. I’m also thinking about long-distance travel with my family during holidays. I’d love to hear from actual owners about their experiences and what I should pay attention to when making a choice. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone! I bought a Jeep Compass in 2017. The dealership initially said this car requires 95 octane fuel, and I've been using it since 2017. However, when I drive, there's a jerking sensation when I decelerate and then accelerate again. Also, when I turn on the air conditioning, the engine noise becomes particularly loud. My car has less than 30,000 kilometers and I mainly use it for commuting. Recently, I tried using 92 octane fuel, but I found that the power was insufficient. When I tried to overtake, the car wouldn't accelerate, unlike when using 95 octane. So, I'm wondering, what fuel do you all use? Which type is better for the car?

I'm considering buying a used advanced version mainly for city commuting, but it will spend a lot of time in the parking lot. Since I've been living abroad for a long time, I'm not sure if I should buy a car. I think this car looks pretty good. Currently, the available used advanced versions are only in white and orange. Which color looks better? I want to make a decision remotely first, otherwise, I might not have options when I return home. Thanks, everyone.

I've been driving a Touran for 7 years, and it's time for a change. I'm looking for recommendations based on my needs. Here's what I'm looking for: I commute 25km one way to work, and there's no fixed parking spot in my community. The city is crowded, which tests my driving skills, so the car can't be too big. I'd like a space for a nap at noon, so electric or plug-in hybrids are preferred. We are a family of three, and we often take the kid out on weekends, so the car's stability and smooth driving are important as my family gets car sick easily. I often take care of the kid alone, and since the kid is not very strong, an electric sliding door would be great. My kid likes camping in the car, so it needs to have ample space. Occasionally, I need to move things between houses, so flexible space is a plus. Since my wife doesn't drive, we can only have one car. Right now, it seems like the GAC E8 is the only option 🤣

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.
