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.

Can the Ousheng be optioned with an electronic parking brake and a 48V dual generator from the factory? I saw a video last night showing the new car equipped with an electronic parking brake, so I'm here to ask the experts.

I'm considering buying a Scirocco R. Should I go for the last generation with the EA113 engine or the earlier one with the second-generation EA888 engine?

I just snagged a late model from last year's inventory. I'm looking to modify it to better suit my style, mainly the headlights and lowering it. Can any fellow car enthusiasts share their experiences or examples?

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]

The 2022 Haval H9 is approaching 40,000 kilometers, and I'm not sure how much longer the original spark plugs will last. Fellow car enthusiasts, at how many kilometers did you change your spark plugs? What condition were the spark plugs when you replaced them? Thanks! ***** Also, I've clearly stated it's the Haval H9 and posted this in the Haval H9 section. Please make sure it stays within the Haval H9 circle and not other H9 circles. It's really tiring, you're quite something! *****

I have a 2018 Outlander 2.4 AWD. Last month, the right front wheel got hit, and I had to replace the shock absorber, half shaft, and steering rack. 😒😒😒 Now, when I'm driving at around 110 km/h, the steering wheel vibrates in my hands. It's not exactly a shake, but more of a tingling feeling. The car doesn't drift or vibrate, just the steering wheel. If I grip the wheel tightly, it feels a bit better. There's no issue when driving below 100 km/h. I've done wheel alignment, and the data is spot on. I've also done wheel balancing and swapped the front and rear tires. I've even replaced the front bearings, but there's no change. The repair shop said the next step would be to start replacing parts one by one, but that would be too costly. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I'd be willing to offer a small reward for a solution. 😏😏😏

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