Hey guys, is a 10-year-old MX5 with a budget of 100,000 good to drive? Does it break down easily? Is it easy to sell? I'm a student considering it as my first car.

I own a 2014 SsangYong Korando, 2WD high trim, 2.0 gasoline. Recently, the check engine light occasionally turns on with the error code indicating a misfire in cylinder 1. Sometimes it turns off by itself. I've swapped spark plugs between cylinder 1 and 2, ignition coils between cylinder 1 and 3, and even swapped the injectors. I planned to use elimination to check if it's the injector issue, but after each swap, the misfire code for cylinder 1 still comes back eventually! The engine idles with slight vibrations, but I don't feel any power loss on the highway—it easily goes over 160 km/h. Later, I measured the cylinder pressure: cylinder 1 is at 8 kg, while the others are over 10 kg. After researching online, I suspect it's an exhaust valve issue. Now I'm really torn. Should I just let it be, or go for a major repair? I read online that some people can fix it by opening the cylinder head without removing the engine. But the local big auto shop is no more, and the private mechanic suggests removing the engine, which I really don't want to do—worried it won't fit back as perfectly as the original. It's stressful because I bought this as a first car for my father, who has loved cars all his life, and now this happens. I've been to various places without a clear diagnosis. Some say it's slight cylinder wear, some say valve leakage, and others mention cylinder head design flaws. Any advice from fellow Korando owners on how to solve similar issues would be greatly appreciated!
Hey guys, I'm getting ready to change my car. I'm thinking of trading in my old GWM C30 and making a down payment of around 100,000. Any recommendations for a sedan in the 150,000 to 200,000 range?

4I'm considering getting an H7 because I like the spacious back seat and the solid appearance. I often drive on highways, so I'm okay with the fuel consumption. I'm wondering about the fault rate. How often does it break down? I usually have a few long trips of about a thousand kilometers each year, and I'm worried about getting stranded. Thanks, everyone! (*°∀°)=3
5What would be a reasonable price to buy a 10-year-old car with a 1.4L engine and 100,000 kilometers on the odometer, with only some paint touch-ups? Or is it even worth considering for purchase?
6Model X owners, what cars are you upgrading to or purchasing? I currently have a 2017 Model X 100D 5-seater, which is over 4 years old. Recently, when going out with my daughter, I often have to let her mom drive so I can sit in the back with her. The rear seats are really uncomfortable, and my daughter tends to get carsick easily. I'm thinking about getting another car, considering 6-7 seat SUVs or MPVs, but haven't decided yet. What have you all bought?
7Does the 10-year-old Honda City rust easily? I've heard that this car is prone to rusting.
8I'm considering getting an old Outback and I'm torn between the late fourth generation and the early phase of the fourth-and-a-half generation. From what I've read, many posts say that the last EJ25 doesn't burn oil as severely as the first FB25.
9Hello Polestar 2 owners! My family is considering getting an electric car for my wife, with a budget of around 100,000. We're worried about buying a new electric car and then regretting it later, so we're thinking about getting a used Polestar 2, either the 2020 launch edition or the 2021 model. I want to ask if this car is reliable as a second-hand option and if the range is dependable. Is it still a good choice to buy?
