I'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.

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!

I'm looking for a fourth-generation Toyota HiAce V8 with four-wheel drive. Does anyone know if it's available locally? I want to collect it, and I've been searching for it. Please leave a message if you have any information.

I have a 2019 GS5, and since early August, there's been a buzzing noise when driving between 60-100 km/h. It feels like I'm flying a plane, especially when I turn right, it gets louder. The dealership said it was a wheel bearing issue, so I had the bearings replaced, then the tires, and even the half shaft, but the problem still isn't solved. Has anyone else had this kind of issue? Please point me in the right direction. I don't want to keep wasting money and time on blind repairs. [About to cry]

When will Madoy release new models? Is there a general timeline? I'm currently torn between the new and old models.
