Is the maintenance cost for the 720s high? I've been looking into it for several days and I'm really tempted. Planning to buy one next year to drive to school for fun. But I've heard you guys say it has a lot of small issues. I don't plan to drive it often, so what's the approximate monthly maintenance cost? My family is kind of like "only pay for the purchase, not for the upkeep" [crying]. At the same time, I also need to maintain another four-seater car (not exceeding 500,000).

How is the McLaren 720s for daily use? Test drives don't really give the full picture. I've seen on TikTok that McLarens often have minor issues. Can any owners share specific problems? Is the suspension safe for speed bumps and underground garages? I'm planning to get one soon. Does the mileage make a big difference? Currently looking at one with 6,000 km and another with 30,000 km.
I have to say, the HiPhi Z is almost like a Gundam, quite tempting. But has any manufacturer taken over the after-sales service yet? As long as maintenance and support aren't an issue, it could be a fun toy. 🤦♂️
4Based on the situation you described, you have a budget of 30w provided by your parents to buy a car, and your internship salary is 6k per month. Your living expenses like food and housing are covered by your parents, but other expenses are your responsibility. To determine if 6k is enough to maintain the car, consider the following: 1. **Fuel Costs**: Calculate the fuel cost based on the car's fuel economy and current fuel prices. You plan to drive about 1500km a month, so this will be a significant factor. 2. **Insurance**: Check the cost of car insurance in your area for a new driver. 3. **Maintenance and Repairs**: Consider regular maintenance costs and unexpected repairs. 4. **Other Expenses**: Include costs like registration, parking, and tolls. If your monthly expenses for the car (fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc.) fit within your budget after accounting for your other personal expenses, then 6k might be sufficient to maintain the car. However, it's important to have some savings for unforeseen expenses.

7After driving my car for a while, I keep getting notifications that the transmission needs maintenance. I've gone several times but it hasn't been fixed.
8I have a question about maintenance. I bought my car in September 2022, and I've driven 15,000 kilometers so far. I've done maintenance 3 times and changed the oil 3 times. I feel that future maintenance doesn't need to be so frequent. If I drive 7,500 kilometers a year, should I do maintenance once a year?
9Will this car have a hybrid version in the future? I really like it, but I'm worried about the high fuel consumption being too stressful. 🫡 After all, my family is buying the car, but I have to cover the maintenance costs myself.
