I've been driving my Renault Koleos for over 5 months. Today, when I tried using the air conditioning, I noticed that even at higher settings, the cooling wasn't very strong. Fellow car owners, what do you think about this issue?

Choosing your first performance car is an exciting decision! Here's a brief rundown of your options: 1. **2003 Subaru Impreza STI**: Known for its rally heritage, it's great for all-weather performance and has a strong AWD system. However, it might be older in terms of technology and features. 2. **2013 Toyota 86**: Offers a balanced rear-wheel-drive experience, known for its handling and driving fun. It's a bit less powerful but very engaging to drive. 3. **2014 Ford Fiesta ST**: A fun, nimble, and affordable hot hatch. It's smaller and great for city driving, with a lively turbocharged engine. 4. **2014 Volkswagen Golf GTI**: A well-rounded hatchback that combines performance with practicality. It's comfortable for daily driving and has a strong community and aftermarket support. 5. **2004 Mitsubishi EVO 8**: Another rally-inspired choice, with strong performance and an AWD system similar to the STI. It may require more maintenance due to its age. Your choice should depend on what you value most—whether it's all-wheel-drive performance, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, or a mix of practicality and fun. Also, consider maintenance costs, reliability, and availability of parts for these older models.

Possible reasons for the acceleration issue with your 2014 2.5 4WD Renault Koleos could include: 1. Engine issues such as clogged fuel injectors or a dirty air filter. 2. Transmission problems affecting power delivery. 3. Faulty sensors like the mass airflow sensor or oxygen sensor. 4. Exhaust system blockage. 5. Fuel system issues impacting fuel economy and power. It's recommended to have a professional mechanic diagnose the problem for an accurate solution.

Guys, today I tried flooring it in Sport+ mode and heard a rustling sound that lasted about 5 seconds before disappearing. No error codes on the dashboard, and the car drives fine. However, when I parked and shifted to P, there was a continuous electrical noise. The noise disappeared after switching to neutral and back to P. Could there be an issue with the transmission? How should I check it?

I have a question for the owners of the 4WD version of this car. Today, I asked a friend if setting the 4WD selector to 2WD on the Outlander Sport makes the fuel consumption the same as the 2WD version. He said no, even if you set it to 2WD, there's still some power loss, and the fuel consumption is higher than the pure 2WD version. Is that true, folks?

Don'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.

Does the G80 have any interior odors? I used to drive an XC60, and it didn't have any smell at all—the cabin was very comfortable. However, Volvo's soundproofing isn't great. I took a ride in a car-hailing service today, and there was an indescribable odor inside the car. Not sure if it was a plastic smell or something else, but even though it was faint, it made sitting inside uncomfortable. I don't know how the driver tolerates it. I test drove the G80 and noticed a bit of a smell, but it wasn't unpleasant. It definitely can't compare to a new Volvo. I'm curious if the smell will still be there after one or two months. With my previous XC60, even after being parked under the sun, there was no noticeable odor inside. Any G80 owners care to share their experience?
