Hey everyone, the chassis of the GV80 feels too stiff, and the ride comfort is really poor and bumpy. The roads I'm driving on aren't even that bad. It seems like having no air suspension is really an issue. Any suggestions?

I still find the GV70 a bit soft, so I specifically used the custom mode to set the chassis and suspension to sport mode. [I want some peace]

The 19-inch ones are generally not an issue, but your 22-inch ones are too big.

Switching the driving mode to Sport or Custom makes a significant difference, tested and proven over 3000 kilometers.

Indeed, lowering the tire pressure a bit might help [I need some quiet time]

I think the comfort level is 20, and the appearance is good at 22.

Yes, I agree. The two most noticeable impressions from last year's test drive were: First, it's stiff and bumpy, and the seats are hard, making it uncomfortable to sit. Second, the 2.5T engine roars a lot. Being used to German cars, people say the 2.0T roars, but compared to my A4 AR, the GV80 truly roars...

The reason for the 22-inch wheels is that they provide a more noticeable road feel. 🌹

The chassis of this car isn't great, and it tends to have unnecessary bouncing, which is pretty bad!

I like it! It's only with stiffness that you get road feel [I want to be alone][I want to be alone][I want to be alone]

I don't feel the 20-inch wheels are that intense. It's quite smooth on the road, just a bit shaky when going over speed bumps. Everything else is great.

Hey guys, I feel the T60 is a bit bumpy. What kind of suspension should I switch to for a better ride? Or what modifications would you recommend? (I don't usually carry heavy loads or go off-road, just occasional suburban trips.)

My Yizhi is a 2011 model produced in 2013. The chassis is quite stable, but the driving experience is too stiff due to the suspension. Any experts have tips to solve this?

Guys, many people are saying that the GV80 has issues with bumpy roads and uneven surfaces. Is this true? How can we go on road trips then? Could it be a problem with their mode settings or the electromagnetic suspension?

Seeking advice from NV200 experts: I'm really interested in the NV200. I plan to make some modifications for primarily home use, and for taking the kids on weekend trips. Focus is on comfort. 1. Is it necessary to do full car soundproofing? 2. If I modify the suspension, can it pass inspection? Is it legal? 3. Looking for some modification tips and things to watch out for from the experts.

I’ll share my personal test drive impressions of various SUVs in the same price range. Can anyone explain the difference in chassis feel between the GV70 Flagship and Luxury models? If there's someone who has driven both, please provide detailed insights! I've also tried SUVs of the same class like BBA, Volvo, and Jaguar. Personally, I think the new GLC has the best overall chassis quality, with Genesis coming in second. Genesis has the best sound insulation! The throttle response is the worst on the GLC! The X3, Q5, Genesis, Volvo, and Jaguar feel quite similar. Subjectively, the GV70 ranks in the top two for overall comfort and drivability. PS: The Q5 feels more filtered and softer. The X3 is a bit too ground-hugging and follows the road surface too much, which I don't like. Volvo is in the middle, but it has the worst sound insulation in its class! The GLC's chassis quality is great with a solid, integrated feel, but the throttle response is really lacking! The Jaguar F-Pace has a slightly firmer chassis and a more sporty driving feel, but its downside is average noise control with some resonance, and it has the smallest rear space. Genesis offers the best overall driving experience. Even with 21-inch wheels, the suspension is really excellent, and the power delivery is smooth and responsive. The space is similar to the X3.

Can real car owners share their experiences? Is the chassis quality and sound insulation of the M8 Master really poor?

I bought a second-hand 2013 2.0 Peugeot 3008, and I feel like the rear suspension is really stiff. What can I do about it? Going over speed bumps makes people bounce up. Any advice from experts?

Ride Comfort: The car feels very stable at high speeds, which gives you a real sense of safety — especially thanks to the solid chassis. However, the seats are a bit firm, and on long trips, they can start to get uncomfortable. Fuel Range: On a full tank, I’ve managed around 650 km on the highway. In summer, or when the car is fully loaded with the A/C running, that drops to about 500 km. In the city, I usually get around 400 km per tank. With current fuel prices (I always fill up with 95), it basically costs me around AED 1 per kilometer. Performance: This is the part I really want to talk about — and complain a bit. With ECO mode turned off, the initial power off the line is decent, but that’s about it. Once you get moving, the car starts to feel like it’s struggling — like a small engine pulling a heavy body. If you don’t mind the loud engine noise, you might get a bit of excitement, but realistically, you’re running close to 4000 RPM for that. Overtaking at 120 km/h is tough; the acceleration just doesn’t keep up, and it feels risky. That said, I have to give credit to the car’s off-road capabilities — it handles rough or muddy roads surprisingly well and won’t leave you stuck.

I bought a used Nissan Sunny in 2018—it was a 2015 model, and I was the second owner. I paid 160,000 EGP for it. When I got it, the odometer showed 60,000 km, but it was obvious they had tampered with it—just by looking at the tires and other details. Still, at the time I just needed a car to get me around. The first year with the car was honestly a pleasant surprise. Fuel consumption was excellent—even with a bit of aggressive driving, it was doing about 6L/100km. That was after I cleaned the injectors, changed the spark plugs, and washed the sensors. After that, the throttle response was smoother and performance improved. One time, I managed 700 km on a single tank—but that was rare. Usually, it did just over 600. Interestingly, it consumed more fuel on the highway than in the city, which is a bit odd but shows it's built more for short urban trips. Driving it was light and smooth. The steering was soft but had a decent return, the suspension was soft but not too floaty, and even though the car is lightweight, it felt more planted than I expected. Honestly, it’s one of the most comfortable cars I’ve ever driven. The interior space is amazing. From the outside, it looks small, but inside it feels like a full-size sedan. Nissan clearly prioritized passenger space—they shrunk the hood and dashboard, which is great, but comes at a cost. The insulation is terrible—you hear road and wind noise like you're riding a tuk-tuk. And the bodywork is so thin, it feels like you could crush it with your hands. Put your foot in the wrong spot, and it feels like you'll puncture the floor. There were also a few issues: the stereo was poor, I had to replace the A/C motor, and I still get some strange noises. But in the end, I see the Nissan Sunny as a very basic car that offers comfort, space, and ease of use—but at the expense of build quality, sound insulation, and overall sturdiness. If you're on a tight budget and just need something to get you through your daily drives without asking much, it’s a logical choice. But if you’re looking for luxury or durability... look elsewhere.
