We have a nearly-new used car with 14,000 kilometers, 5 seats, and no accidents at our dealership. The total cost comes to 360,000. I'm quite tempted.

This car is nearly a million! What kind of rich person would buy it? We won't be able to afford it in our lifetime!

Hello fellow car enthusiasts, have any of you cleaned the throttle body before? I've heard that cleaning the throttle body on an MG3 is quite a hassle, taking up to 5 hours and costing 500 bucks.
4Can I go to the dealership to ask for a lifetime warranty for the Genesis GV70? I'm worried about the cost of parts in the future, as the original 5-year warranty doesn't seem enough.

6I experienced a similar issue with my steering column making noise and feeling stuck. The dealership suggested replacing it, but it's quite expensive, so I didn't go for it. How did you guys deal with this problem? Do you have any good solutions? My car is over three years old and has run more than 20,000 kilometers, and this issue has come up. I think there might be a quality issue here.
7The seat ventilation makes noise but doesn't blow air. The dealership said it might be the sponge slipping, and repairing it would require removing the seat and replacing the sponge, costing over 1000. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? How did you handle it?
8Don't rush to buy this car just yet; wait for three to four months as a new model will be released. The 2025 model will come out early next year. People are interested in this car mainly because of its zero fire risk and sincere configuration. Be prepared for the following if you decide to purchase this car: 1. The overall electricity consumption is over 20, and it might be even higher for men driving it, considering the car weighs 2 tons. 2. The car has severe nose diving when you brake, causing it to wobble a few times. 3. The sound insulation is poor; you need to close the doors with force, and dust easily gets inside the car. 4. Repair parts are as expensive as those for Mercedes-Benz and BMW. 5. The seats, while known as "Nissan Big Sofas," are not as comfortable as those in the Sylphy. 6. There are quite a few minor issues and faults, with the car's system being a significant drawback.
9After 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.
10I bought the 2025 Passat 380 Star Edition, and since we already have a 2024 330 Elite model at home, I was able to directly compare the two. The main differences come down to a few added features — like extra millimeter-wave radars, one additional camera, and three more ultrasonic sensors. Most of the other specs are nearly identical. The biggest improvement I noticed is in the adaptive cruise control, which is now more responsive and accurate. The rear parking sensors also trigger more easily. Fuel consumption is actually quite good: on highways and elevated roads, it averages around 7.1 L/100 km — nearly the same as the 330 (which ranges between 6.8 to 7.2 L). As for space, it's one of the main reasons I chose this car. We’ve got kids in the family, and this car is mainly for weekend outings and family use. Compared to the Magotan, the Passat offers better ride comfort, and its 2.87m wheelbase ensures a roomy interior. Feature-wise, the Passat covers everything needed for daily use: side mirrors that tilt automatically when reversing, ventilated and heated seats, auto hold, adaptive cruise, and active braking. It’s all there and makes daily driving much more convenient. Now for the downsides: the infotainment system feels outdated. The screen is too small, there's no built-in navigation worth using, and no wireless phone connectivity, which is a letdown in 2025. Also, there’s still a bit of jerkiness at low speeds that hasn’t been addressed. The gear shifter is still wrapped in leather but looks pretty basic. Overall, at this price point, the Passat is still a solid choice. It doesn’t have any major flaws, and it’s a good all-around car — perfect for someone who wants a reliable, practical ride without too much fuss or flash. Not the flashiest design, but definitely a sensible and balanced option.
