I used to drive a Ford Focus, and now I'm driving an Outlander. The Outlander is smooth on flat roads, but there's a noticeable lag when accelerating. The Focus would respond immediately when I stepped on the gas, and the steering was precise. The Outlander's steering feels a bit heavy, and when going uphill, it makes a lot of noise but doesn't move much. Even if I increase the throttle, the engine noise is quite loud.

What brand of engine oil are you guys using?

The 2021 Ford Focus and the 2018 Outlander just passed by. The throttle tuning is really sharp on the Outlander, typical of a classic Japanese car with a sluggish tuning. At low speeds, it takes off with just a touch.

Before I switched to the 2.4 Outlander, I had a 1.5 Honda Fit. One time, a friend borrowed it to pick up some people from the village. He had four adults and himself in the car, making it five people in total. After coming back, he complained non-stop about the car having no power going uphill. When I checked the dashcam, I realized he was quite something! On a long, steep hill with the car fully loaded, he used only the D gear from start to finish. When he returned the car, I pulled his ear and pointed at the L gear inside the car, asking him if it was just for show. Didn't he know how to change gears? It's sheer luck the transmission didn't get wrecked. He was completely clueless and said he always drove his CR-V up that hill the same way, and never felt it was underpowered in five years! I almost wanted to smack him with a shoe. Having a brain is a good thing, but some people have one that, like a car, rusts if not used. Both are Honda's naturally aspirated engines, but comparing a fully-loaded 1.5 with an empty 2.4? And he claims to have been driving for over five years, yet doesn't know what the L gear is for. Can't he use his phone for more than just calls and look things up? The next year, I sold the Fit with 80,000 kilometers on it and got the 2.4 Outlander. And from then on, I never lent my car to anyone again.

I drove a 2.4 4WD today, not kidding, it really doesn't feel as good as my current 1.5 Mazda Axela. It also doesn't feel as powerful as the 1.5. [I need a moment]

When going uphill, release the accelerator and then press it down harder; that's how CVT acceleration works.

Eco mode is off, acceleration at over 4000 RPM is sufficient.

Naturally aspirated engine + CVT, what kind of effect are you expecting? [I want some peace and quiet]

Switch to sport mode and use low speed on steep slopes.

I used to drive a 1.8 Focus, now I have a 2.0 Outlander. The Focus had a better overall driving feel compared to the Outlander. But the Outlander has lower fuel consumption and more space.

My Arrizo 3 makes a loud squeaking noise when I turn the steering wheel all the way. At first, I thought it was the power steering pump, so I replaced it, but the noise is still there. When the car is cold, the steering feels jerky, as if the oil line is frozen. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks a lot!!

Is there a strange noise when you turn the steering wheel?

Does anyone else experience a noise when starting the Vellfire, stepping on the gas, and turning the steering wheel? It disappears afterward.

My 10-year-old car makes a strange noise when I accelerate hard or when going uphill. The sound is like "pop, pop, pop." Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Does your engine also make a loud noise when the RPM reaches 2000? Especially when going uphill, all I can hear is the roar of the engine.

Volkswagen Jetta 13 manual fashion 1.6 has a noise when turning the steering wheel. There is no sound when the steering is turned in place, but when driving and turning the steering wheel to the limit, it makes a noise. What could be the reason?

Cayenne steering wheel noise: When the car is cold, there's no issue; it's very smooth. After driving for a while (around 1 hour), especially in hot weather, there's a squeaking noise when turning the wheel. Do any fellow car enthusiasts have the same issue? I saw on a social media platform that it might be the airbag clock spring?

What causes the steering wheel to make a noise when turning the shaft?

Is there anyone who can answer a question: Is the engine noise of the 2024 Prado loud when climbing hills or driving continuously uphill?
