Is it true that most of the V60s available for purchase now are inventory cars? The ones in the 4S dealership showroom are from July 2023. Is there a chance to buy one produced in 2024? I'm mainly concerned that the 48V system might suffer from sitting idle for too long.

Model X, 40,000 km. There's a consistent humming noise from the rear wheels while driving, most noticeable at speeds of 35-40 km/h. You can feel a slight vibration in the floor when sitting in the back seat. I've been to the dealership a couple of times for this, and the last time, the technician confirmed the noise. After checking, they said the half axles are fine and concluded it's due to tire aging. I've heard that 21-inch tires tend to wear unevenly and might need replacement around 40,000 km. The tires only have 40,000 km on them, and the tread still looks clear. Is this really possible?

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?

Does no one really care about the car's width? Including the side mirrors, it's 2.4 meters, and when folded, it's still 2.2 meters. This width feels more intimidating than the 5.68-meter length to me. When parking outside, with a length of 5.68 meters, at worst, you can let it stick out by 30 or 40 centimeters, and passing drivers can just steer a bit to avoid it. But a width of 2.4 meters really makes parking a big issue. Perpendicular parking spaces are the most common, and a standard parking space, including the boundary lines, is 2.4 meters, which basically means it takes up the entire space. If there's a car on the right side, parking this car to the left of it makes it almost impossible for the other person to get in. If you park on the right side of another car, it might be slightly better; at most, the other person might have to move the car out a bit to let passengers get in from the passenger side. Of course, if you fold the mirrors before parking, you can give the neighboring car an extra 20 centimeters of space, but most people probably find that hard to manage.

I just bought a 2018 model 1.0 Passion Edition. Could anyone advise on the best spot to install the parking sensors? Most of the aftermarket sensors need to be at least 50 cm above the ground. The original ones are on the black plastic part and are quite low. So, I'm seeking advice from everyone. Thanks!

Will the 2024 new fuel version of the Mini Cooper be released in the domestic market? Is it already unavailable for order, and are the ones bought from 4S shops just inventory cars?

I'm considering buying a used diesel Grand Cherokee with a budget of around 150,000. My budget is limited, and as a working-class individual, I'm considering diesel for its fuel efficiency. I'm currently driving a 2.0T Mondeo, and the fuel consumption for commuting is 11 liters per 100 km. My concern is that some people say diesel engines are unstable and have high maintenance costs later on. My driving scenario is mainly commuting to work, with a daily round trip of 20 km. I’m also thinking about long-distance travel with my family during holidays. I’d love to hear from actual owners about their experiences and what I should pay attention to when making a choice. Thank you very much.

Let me share my experience as well. I also have a 2017 MG ZS, one of the first batch from July, manual top configuration. Since then, apart from other issues, the main problem has been the car cutting off power when starting. The entire car loses power, and it won't start. It's fine today, but not tomorrow. The car often won't start. I've replaced several batteries and small parts, but the issue remains. Sigh, I'm disappointed. The car is still at the repair shop now, I'm afraid to drive it. If it stalls, it won't start again, which is frustrating. I used to be a loyal MG fan, but I'm really disappointed now. Next time I change cars, I won't choose MG anymore. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I went to the Toyota 4S store yesterday to check out this car. The exterior and interior are both acceptable. I'm just a bit concerned about one thing: the particulate filter is located in the middle section of the exhaust, which is a bit far from the engine. Theoretically, since it's a naturally aspirated hybrid engine, the operating temperature is lower and the filter is farther from the engine. Wouldn't the particulate filter be more prone to clogging? What do you experts think about this issue?
