I'm planning to trade my fully loaded 2016 CX4, 2.5 AWD, for a used 2.5 AWD CX5. The main considerations are: 1. Since both CX4 and CX5 don't hold their value well, the cost of switching cars should be low, probably just an extra 10-20k. 2. The biggest frustration with driving a Mazda is that, except for BMW, no other cars on the market look good to me. But I can't afford a BMW, and Mazda isn't really stepping up. I'm thinking of getting serious about buying when the 3.3 CX60 is available in China, so for now, I'm just making do. My questions are: 1. From 2017 to 2023, were there any particular years with lots of issues? I remember one year the Atenza had severe noise problems, but I'm not sure if that was resolved. 2. Does the CX5 have any common problems? For the 2.5 AWD version, does the vehicle's central shaft heat up after long drives? 3. Does the fully loaded version come with BOSE loudspeakers? Which year was that??? Please let me know if there's anything else important to consider. Thanks.

-5 is comfortable to sit in, -4 is good to drive.

The CX5 has the most spacious interior. From 2017 to 2021, the top flagship models all featured Boss loudspeakers, but the 2022 model removed this feature. Common issues include shock absorber leaks, side mirrors not folding properly, and a large trunk gap similar to that of the CRV. This is typical of Changan's quality control. The highway noise is generally what you would expect in this price range, but the top model's power is better than Subaru's, although the four-wheel-drive capability is average.

Usually, for one or two people using the car, the Steel Wire feels more enjoyable to drive compared to the Gang 5.

Driving it doesn't feel as enjoyable as a BMW-4, it's just more spacious. I suggest just getting a used one. Not for sale.

Is there a significant difference in driving experience between the 2.5 and 3.0? I'm planning to buy a used Viano and later get a towed RV. Will a 2.5 engine struggle with towing a trailer? Normally, the 2.5 should consume more fuel compared to the 3.0, but since the car often idles for 1-2 hours waiting for people, would the 2.5 be more fuel-efficient in this situation?

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.

Fellow car enthusiasts, I have a Mazda 2 hatchback 1.3L automatic. I'm looking for a driver's side door. Where can I buy one? I need it to be original with the original paint.

I own a 2007 2.0 Subaru Legacy, and I've noticed that the left rear shock absorber is 1 cm lower than the right rear. I tried to level it by adding a spacer myself, but after a 400 km trip with a full load, the left rear is still lower than the right. Can anyone help me identify the problem or suggest any adjustable parts? Looking for advice from experts and experienced car enthusiasts.

I took a test drive and really liked it, but there are two things I'm struggling with: 1. I'm 182cm tall and it feels a bit cramped. 2. There's limited interior storage, which feels inconvenient. Is there any solution, like something from the store that can increase storage space? Also, is there any chance of a model update next year?

Can someone tell me what the usual tire pressure for a Mazda 2 hatchback should be? Some say 2.5, others say 2.3. What's the best pressure? Thanks!

I bought a CX-30 earlier this year and I'm thinking of getting an Xpeng in four years. Can anyone compare them? Since the CX-30 is my first car, I'm not sure what a good driving experience feels like. Is there a big difference between driving an Xpeng and a Mazda? Since both cars are about the same size, the Xpeng with a 2.5 engine should be more powerful, right?

Seeking advice for my first car (also just starting to drive). Budget around 400,000 RMB. Should I choose the Genesis with options or the new BMW 5 Series? I'm almost 35 and might have a child in the next 1-2 years. I feel like the Genesis doesn't have enough rear space, but I'm really attracted to its looks. The new 5 Series is quite controversial, but recently it's had significant price cuts, so I can afford the top trim, and it holds its value better. Could you guys help me decide?

Is there a BYD e2 available for sale within the last 2 years? I'm interested, not a car dealer.
