I had a test drive and I'm really interested in buying. I just have two questions: First, after parking and braking, the car shakes a lot. Can this be improved later? Second, how advanced is the driver assistance? The staff just glossed over it without any introduction or demonstration.

I don't see any of the issues you mentioned. I think everything works well.

2. The driver assistance is quite standard, but the parking feature is very useful.

1. The braking can be set to Sport mode (similar to fuel cars) or Standard mode (CRBS, utilizing regenerative braking before mechanical braking). The intensity of the shake is related to the force applied to the brake pedal.

Quick question: Can you enable the emergency lane-keeping assist in the lateral assist features? I turn it on, and it turns off automatically in less than two seconds. The 4S showroom test drive car does the same thing.

Hello everyone, I have a question about my 2013 Skoda Rapid. It's been driven over 70,000 kilometers. Currently, when I press the accelerator above 60 km/h, I feel like the front wheels are shaking with the throttle. Has anyone experienced this? What's the issue here? I went for maintenance, but they couldn't identify the problem. They mentioned it might be the driveshaft. Has anyone had a similar issue? How did you resolve it?

Hey guys, I keep seeing on TikTok that the new Defender's price has dropped significantly with big discounts. Is this true or just marketing hype? If I buy now, will there be even bigger discounts later? Thanks, guys! Also looking for a 120k+ discount, with equal principal and interest, no penalty for early repayment, and the option to transfer at the dealership.

1.8L 2017 automatic luxury model with just over 50,000 km on the odometer. It's a red car with quite a few scratches on the exterior. It had a front-end accident but only needed a front set replacement, no damage to the frame. The right rear door has some bodywork done. However, the engine, transmission, air conditioning, and car system are all in excellent condition. You can test it out before deciding. It's a great choice for practice driving.

I bought the 2019 Bestune T99 in September 2020. Since it was my first car purchase, I lacked experience and fell into many traps. Besides having many minor issues, I later discovered several parts were damaged. The tires were previously used, which immediately made me suspect that this car was probably a test drive vehicle. And I was right. A few days ago, I went to replace the turn signal lights and found that the wiring inside had been reconnected, and the connections were poorly done. Moreover, the production dates of the left and right turn signals were almost a year apart. (Cars from the factory have uniform dates.) After all these years, it's impossible to explain this to the dealership now! I hope everyone pays attention to details when buying a car to avoid being deceived.

Is there anyone here who bought the GS4 Max in 2024 and can share their experience? I just test drove it a few days ago and really liked it, but the online reviews aren't very positive. People are saying there are a lot of strange noises and minor issues, and that rust is a big problem. How does it compare to the Nissan Qashqai?

I've had my car for over a year, and the auto start-stop has never worked. I went to the dealership, and after a test drive, the service staff said it works, but I need to turn off the AC for it to function. I've turned it off, but it still hasn't activated. How do you guys use it?

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 was looking for a good sedan, and I went through the usual headache of choices like anyone else. I looked at the Sentra and the Civic—each had something I liked, but also something that made me hesitant. The Sentra felt a bit too quiet for me—I’m still young—and while the Civic was tempting, I just couldn't fully buy into it. I randomly walked into a Toyota showroom, and right there in front of me was the Corolla. I took it for a test drive, and honestly, the sales team was incredibly polite and respectful—unlike the staff I’d dealt with at other dealerships. In the end, I was convinced and bought the hybrid Corolla. After a year of use, the car has been comfortable and smooth to drive, with no major issues. But it’s not without its annoyances—like the sluggish, outdated screen and the old-school head unit, so I replaced them. Even the seats and the center armrest would get dirty easily, so I had them covered in leather. The headlights were halogen, so I swapped them for LEDs. The horn also sounded weak, so I changed that too. In terms of performance, it's decent—not a rocket, but more than enough for daily commutes. At speeds over 120 km/h, the car felt a bit floaty, so I upgraded the wheels and tires from 16" to 17", which really improved its stability. The most impressive thing, hands down, has been the fuel consumption—it once dropped to 3.9L/100km! But after I accidentally reset the system, it now reads 5.3 and I can't figure out how to get it back. Space-wise, it's fine—comfortable up front, and okay for two people in the back, but three will feel cramped. The one thing that really bugs me is the A/C, especially for rear passengers. There aren’t effective rear vents, and airflow is a bit weak during summer. I enjoy tweaking my car, so I’ve done a lot of modifications—brakes, tires, wheels, lights, sound system, and a few small accessories. Overall, though, I’m satisfied. My advice for anyone planning to buy one: don't go for it just because everyone else is. Buy it because you’re personally convinced. Compare prices and features carefully. At the end of the day, the Corolla is a solid, respectable car. It won’t let you down, but it’s not perfect—there are things that need a bit of work, depending on your preferences and how willing you are to spend a little more after buying it.
