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.

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.

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!
