To be honest, this car isn't great. It's not as good as the MC20. I've been studying cars for 8.9 years, and I've never been impressed by the McLaren brand. Their history is short, and the actual cars are small. Taking it out doesn't give any presence, it's not even bigger than a Corolla. It's just a small company, after all, it can't compete with Ferrari. I guess it might go bankrupt eventually [smile].

I own a 2014 SsangYong Korando, 2WD high trim, 2.0 gasoline. Recently, the check engine light occasionally turns on with the error code indicating a misfire in cylinder 1. Sometimes it turns off by itself. I've swapped spark plugs between cylinder 1 and 2, ignition coils between cylinder 1 and 3, and even swapped the injectors. I planned to use elimination to check if it's the injector issue, but after each swap, the misfire code for cylinder 1 still comes back eventually! The engine idles with slight vibrations, but I don't feel any power loss on the highway—it easily goes over 160 km/h. Later, I measured the cylinder pressure: cylinder 1 is at 8 kg, while the others are over 10 kg. After researching online, I suspect it's an exhaust valve issue. Now I'm really torn. Should I just let it be, or go for a major repair? I read online that some people can fix it by opening the cylinder head without removing the engine. But the local big auto shop is no more, and the private mechanic suggests removing the engine, which I really don't want to do—worried it won't fit back as perfectly as the original. It's stressful because I bought this as a first car for my father, who has loved cars all his life, and now this happens. I've been to various places without a clear diagnosis. Some say it's slight cylinder wear, some say valve leakage, and others mention cylinder head design flaws. Any advice from fellow Korando owners on how to solve similar issues would be greatly appreciated!

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).

Let me share my experience as well. I also have a 2017 MG ZS, one of the first batch from July, manual top configuration. Since then, apart from other issues, the main problem has been the car cutting off power when starting. The entire car loses power, and it won't start. It's fine today, but not tomorrow. The car often won't start. I've replaced several batteries and small parts, but the issue remains. Sigh, I'm disappointed. The car is still at the repair shop now, I'm afraid to drive it. If it stalls, it won't start again, which is frustrating. I used to be a loyal MG fan, but I'm really disappointed now. Next time I change cars, I won't choose MG anymore. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I've been checking out the 2024 1.4T version of the Superb and want to ask about the actual fuel consumption. Planning to use it for commuting and occasional trips. I'm concerned about fuel economy, especially with city traffic. I'm torn between the Corolla Hybrid and the Superb 1.4T for long-term ownership. Any advice from those who've been down this road?
