Don't buy unpopular cars. I regret buying the Chery Kaiyi X3. There's basically no after-sales service, and they charge you if you're a few days late for maintenance.

It's really important to have a nearby service station before buying a car; I've really felt this in the past few days!

How is the Kaiyi X3 automatic? Is the fuel consumption high? Does it have a lot of minor issues? Planning to buy one after restrictions are lifted. Please give some real insights, thanks.

I've had my car for over half a year, and I've noticed that after driving in the rain, there's fog inside the headlights. It disappears after a couple of days or when it's sunny. The after-sales service said it's a normal phenomenon! Do any fellow car owners have a similar situation?

When will this car drop below 100k? I was considering this one and the 5 Series, but ended up with the 5. However, the design of this car is just too stunning. If it goes below 100k, I wouldn't even care about after-sales service, I'd buy one just for the looks.

MG ZS has run over 30,000 kilometers and is experiencing exhaust pipe issues, misfires in cylinders one to four, and unstable idling. Is this an internal engine problem? Is it very serious? Kind of regretting buying an MG. Went to the 4S dealership today for after-sales service, and the problem is still being addressed [frustrated].

Is anyone selling a 2021 Kaiyi X3? I'm interested in buying one.

I have high hopes for Chery cars, but buying one can be disappointing. First, many car companies now offer lifetime free maintenance, but Chery does not. Second, when it comes to window tinting, the dealership tells you that it's outsourced, and you have to drive the car there yourself. Once you arrive, you find out the tint is transparent, which is basically like having no tint at all. If you want better quality tint, you have to pay a few thousand more out of pocket, and the sunroof isn't included either. Other car companies usually provide better quality tint for free. Third, when picking up the car, they inform you about insurance and say that to have "no damage" coverage, you need to spend several thousand more. I just want to say, Chery, can you not make potential buyers of Chery cars feel disappointed?

If you're considering buying another car and your annual usage is around 5,000 kilometers, with a budget of 80,000 RMB, you have several options. Since you like the appearance and interior of the Peugeot 508, you might want to look for a good condition second-hand Peugeot 508 within your budget. Additionally, you could explore other compact or midsize sedans that are known for their style and comfort. Make sure to check the vehicle's service history and condition if you're opting for a used car to ensure a good purchase.

For your first time driving a 09 Mazda 6, here are some things you might want to consider: 1. **Basic Checks:** Before you start driving, check the fuel level, tire pressure, and ensure all the lights are functioning properly. 2. **Maintenance History:** If possible, review the car’s maintenance history to ensure it's up to date with regular services. 3. **Test Drive:** Take the car for a short drive to see if there are any unusual noises or vibrations. 4. **Visit a Mechanic:** If you're unsure about the car's condition, it might be a good idea to visit a mechanic for a thorough check-up. 5. **Familiarize Yourself:** Get comfortable with the car's controls, like the brakes, accelerator, and steering. Remember, safety first!

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.
