The Changan 95 is actually a pretty good car. It looks great and meets all my requirements. So why doesn't it sell well? It's making me hesitant to buy.

The official announcement regarding the suspension of sales hasn't been released yet.

Compare cars in the same price range. They've all dropped to the 150,000 range. This one hasn't reduced its price at all. It's like they don't care about this car. Who knows, it might even be discontinued one day.

Just go ahead and buy it, but I suggest getting a stock car from a dealer. The price is much lower than buying from a 4S dealership, and the quality is no different from what you'd get at a 4S shop.

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].

With a budget of 140,000, I'm considering buying a used 7-seater MPV. I'm currently looking at the 2018 imported Volkswagen Sharan and the 2015 Honda Elysion Luxury Edition. I drive about 10,000 kilometers a year. Which one should I choose? The Sharan is newer, has good safety features, and strong power, but maintenance and repairs are expensive, and it requires 95-octane fuel. The Elysion is older, but can run on 92-octane fuel, has lower maintenance costs, is more common, and retains its value well.

I want to get a new car for my wife. She's currently driving an IS. After looking at a lot of cars, only the G70 shooting brake seems relatively pleasing. Here are my main concerns: 1. A friend mentioned that there's not much difference between the two cars, and the IS might be slightly better, so it may not be significant. 2. Recently, many car companies are offering discounts and promotions, but the manufacturer currently shows no sign of doing so. 3. Both cars require ordering and production scheduling, which means a long waiting time, making it awkward. 4. Since it's all about ordering and production scheduling, the options and configurations are not flexible enough. 5. I'm worried about their sales and the potential of dealership closures. Have any other car owners faced similar awkward issues? [Facepalm]

There are quite a few low-mileage BRZs on the market now. Is it because people's expectations were too high and they felt a big difference after getting the car, or does the car have actual issues? Also, why is the manual transmission valued so high, yet the automatic transmission still sells more? It seems like there are more automatic models in the second-hand market as well.

I'm selling my 2014 Jeep Compass, used for family purposes, never been in an accident, well-maintained, and in great condition. Anyone interested?

Hello everyone! I bought a Jeep Compass in 2017. The dealership initially said this car requires 95 octane fuel, and I've been using it since 2017. However, when I drive, there's a jerking sensation when I decelerate and then accelerate again. Also, when I turn on the air conditioning, the engine noise becomes particularly loud. My car has less than 30,000 kilometers and I mainly use it for commuting. Recently, I tried using 92 octane fuel, but I found that the power was insufficient. When I tried to overtake, the car wouldn't accelerate, unlike when using 95 octane. So, I'm wondering, what fuel do you all use? Which type is better for the car?

Is there anyone willing to sell their G70 Shooting Brake? I've been looking for six months, and I still like this car the most. Just seeing its stylish appearance makes me so happy. Unfortunately, a new one is too expensive for me, as I'm also preparing to buy a house and can't spare too much money. So, I'm hoping to find a second-hand one. Hope to meet someone willing to part with theirs soon!

I had the chance to try out the new Toyota Corolla, the 1.2T Elite version. Honestly, there aren’t many changes in the design compared to the previous generation, but I thought I’d share my thoughts anyway. The engine performance isn’t particularly strong — 116 horsepower on a car this size is just acceptable. But when you push it and let the RPMs climb, it actually feels better than expected. It’s not slow, and it feels lighter than I thought it would. The CVT gearbox is smooth and decent overall, although at low speeds there are some light vibrations and a bit of drag when you lift off the throttle. When you demand sudden acceleration, it takes a little time to reach the higher revs, but it’s not annoying. The suspension handles big bumps well, but you can feel smaller imperfections in the road, especially at lower speeds. On curves and sharp turns, the car holds itself pretty well and stays composed — that was a nice surprise. The steering is great. It’s light at low speeds and firms up nicely as you go faster. The response is smooth and precise, and the brakes are easy to get used to and feel very natural — no issues there. Noise insulation is average. Wind noise is handled well, and the engine isn’t too loud, even at high RPMs — that’s actually better than the hybrid version. But road noise does come through at higher speeds, and ambient noise isolation is just okay. Inside, the design hasn’t changed much — it still feels quite basic. The materials aren’t great; most of the interior is hard plastic. The screen and instrument panel haven’t been upgraded like in the 1.5 or hybrid versions. The infotainment system is slow and outdated — not what you'd expect in a 2024 model. Front seating is fine — you can adjust the driver’s seat to a comfortable low position and the steering wheel aligns well with it. The back seats, however, aren’t great. The space is average, the seatback is a bit upright, and the cushion isn’t very long. The trunk, on the other hand, is decent and handles luggage well. In terms of safety features, you do get useful tools like radar and driving assist, but there’s no rear parking sensor — which is strange. Overall, the car isn’t lacking in features, but the priorities feel a bit off. In the end, this car doesn’t really surprise you — and that might actually be a good thing for people who prefer something reliable and familiar. It’s not futuristic, but if you’re after dependability and ease of use, it could still be a smart choice — especially with how crowded the market is becoming with hybrids and EVs. Ultimately, it depends on your needs and your budget at the time of buying.

I've had the car for about a month now, and honestly, I feel like it's a great fit for younger drivers. The design is sporty, and the interior space turned out to be better than I expected, so I didn’t hesitate to go ahead and place the order. At first glance, the look is pretty standard — nothing too flashy — and the car sits lower than most other SUVs. So far, I’ve driven around 600 km. Fuel consumption is currently between 8.8 to 9 L/100 km, mostly city driving. I haven’t taken it on the highway much yet, but I believe the fuel economy will improve over time. Acceleration is quite strong — it uses the same engine as the Civic — though I don't push it hard often; I only tried flooring it once just to see how it feels. The rearview camera is clear, and I didn’t install a 360° system since I’m used to using the mirrors, but I might add it later — blind spots are always a risk. Friends and coworkers who sat in the back all said the space felt pretty good. What annoyed me the most is the infotainment system. Wireless CarPlay has a 1–2 second delay, which isn’t terrible but still noticeable. I’ve seen people online claim some versions have zero delay — not sure how true that is. The voice assistant is also a bit frustrating; it sometimes activates randomly in the middle of a conversation and starts talking out of nowhere! The horn also sounds cheap — one guy compared it to an electric scooter and honestly, I couldn’t agree more. Another weird thing: there’s no one-touch window up/down feature, which feels like a missed basic feature. And the sound insulation is weak — you can clearly hear wind and tire noise, especially at higher speeds. I usually end up turning up the music just to drown it out — maybe that's just typical for Japanese cars? Overall though, as my first car, I’m pretty satisfied. I don’t have much experience with other cars yet, so this is just my perspective. Hope it helps anyone considering this car — no offense intended to anyone!

I bought the new Toyota Corolla 1.2T. The engine has 116 horsepower—not super powerful, but its performance is better than I expected, especially when you push it. The CVT gearbox is smooth, though there are occasional slight jerks. In terms of comfort, it’s pretty good. The suspension absorbs big bumps well, but you do feel the smaller ones a bit. The driving is stable, the steering is light and responsive, and the brakes are solid. Wind noise is well-insulated, but tire noise becomes very noticeable at high speeds. The interior feels a bit outdated, with lots of plastic materials. The screen is weak, runs the old system, and is barely backlit. Front space is fine, but the back is a bit cramped. The trunk has a decent amount of space. It comes with a full set of safety features, but no parking sensors! The bottom line? It’s a practical, reliable car—great for people who aren’t looking for fancy tech but want something dependable and easy to drive.
