Thinking about getting a Lotus S+, should I go for green or gray? I've seen the yellow and green ones on the road, both look great, but yellow seems more for the younger crowd. Haven't seen a gray one in person. By the way, is it suitable for a guy nearing 40 to buy this car?

Thinking about getting a Lotus S+, should I go for green or gray? I've seen the yellow and green ones on the road, both look great, but yellow seems more for the younger crowd. Haven't seen a gray one in person. By the way, is it suitable for a guy nearing 40 to buy this car?
I'm currently driving a 330i, and I'm considering adding a well-handling SUV since I'm quite focused on handling. I've heard this car is pretty impressive. I have two questions I'd like to ask. I'm considering the S+. 1. How is the handling of this car? 2. Is it convenient for maintenance and repairs? I haven't really seen Lotus dealerships around.
Yellow, Flash Zinc Gray, or Shimmer Rhodium Silver, which one should I choose? Any advice from fellow car enthusiasts?
4Taycan owners, I have a question about a feature. As you might know, in the Taycan's triple display, the middle one shows the speed by default, and when the power meter is checked, it shows acceleration and energy recovery levels—blue for acceleration and green for recovery. In my car, with the default set to normal mode, when I press the accelerator, the blue bar shows up normally. However, when I press the brake, the green bar doesn't show at all, although the car brakes fine. Does this mean my braking relies solely on mechanical brakes without energy recovery? Is there a way to set it so the green bar shows normally when braking? I'm sincerely asking for advice, thanks everyone!
5Does no one really care about the car's width? Including the side mirrors, it's 2.4 meters, and when folded, it's still 2.2 meters. This width feels more intimidating than the 5.68-meter length to me. When parking outside, with a length of 5.68 meters, at worst, you can let it stick out by 30 or 40 centimeters, and passing drivers can just steer a bit to avoid it. But a width of 2.4 meters really makes parking a big issue. Perpendicular parking spaces are the most common, and a standard parking space, including the boundary lines, is 2.4 meters, which basically means it takes up the entire space. If there's a car on the right side, parking this car to the left of it makes it almost impossible for the other person to get in. If you park on the right side of another car, it might be slightly better; at most, the other person might have to move the car out a bit to let passengers get in from the passenger side. Of course, if you fold the mirrors before parking, you can give the neighboring car an extra 20 centimeters of space, but most people probably find that hard to manage.
6Hello everyone, I'm personally a big fan of the 2017 BRZ, but I haven't been able to find one in good condition. Today, I got contacted about a 2020 model, which only has two scratches exposing the primer on the bottom of the front bumper, with no other dents or marks. Now I'm hesitating whether to keep waiting for my ideal 2017 model or go for this 2020 model in good condition.
7I need some guidance from the experts. I'm new to cars and currently, my family doesn't own one. My husband works nearby, but I commute 40 kilometers to the suburbs for work every day. We live in an old neighborhood without home charging facilities, and I'm thinking of buying a new energy vehicle. I've had my license for six years but haven't driven much. I liked the appearance of the Zeekr X but heard the rear space is small. Personally, I like Zeekr and Ora, and I'm also considering Deepal. I'm really confused and don't know which car to buy. Any advice from the experts would be appreciated.
8I've been driving a Touran for 7 years, and it's time for a change. I'm looking for recommendations based on my needs. Here's what I'm looking for: I commute 25km one way to work, and there's no fixed parking spot in my community. The city is crowded, which tests my driving skills, so the car can't be too big. I'd like a space for a nap at noon, so electric or plug-in hybrids are preferred. We are a family of three, and we often take the kid out on weekends, so the car's stability and smooth driving are important as my family gets car sick easily. I often take care of the kid alone, and since the kid is not very strong, an electric sliding door would be great. My kid likes camping in the car, so it needs to have ample space. Occasionally, I need to move things between houses, so flexible space is a plus. Since my wife doesn't drive, we can only have one car. Right now, it seems like the GAC E8 is the only option 🤣
9I'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!
10I’ve had this car for six years now. I haven’t driven it much—total mileage is around 90,000 km—because I don’t travel long distances with it. My workplace is close to home, so there aren’t many long trips. In terms of fuel consumption? It’s amazing. It averages about 5.8L per 100 km, so when I put in 100 EGP worth of fuel, I can go a long way. That’s one of the main reasons I’ve held on to it. In the first year, I used to do maintenance every 3 months, but I noticed the oil was still clean as if just changed, so I switched to every 6 months. Now, I do it once a year and everything’s going just fine. What bothers me is that the car doesn’t look stylish. It’s a bit cramped, and honestly, it feels kind of like a microbus—that’s the biggest thing that keeps me from being fully comfortable with it. Plus, the dashboard is all hard plastic with basic design. But since I got the slightly higher trim, it does have push-button start, keyless entry, and parking sensors. When it comes to driving, the car needs a gentle touch. You have to press the gas pedal softly to get it moving smoothly. I tried pushing it to 130 km/h once, and it started to feel shaky. The cabin gets noisy, but I just play music and it’s manageable. The suspension isn’t super soft—you do feel the bumps, but they’re not harsh. In summary: it’s a highly economical car. Fuel consumption is low, spare parts are affordable, and the engine is still in great condition. If only it were a bit more spacious and had a better design, it would’ve been perfect.
