Is the Nissan Juke's CVT transmission a deal breaker?
06 January 2025 07:58
I've owned a Juke for years now, and I can tell you that the CVT hate is overblown. It's not the deal breaker everyone makes it out to be, but it's not perfect. If you just keep up with maintenance it's fine.
Do families find the Nissan Juke's interior space a deal breaker?
06 January 2025 07:58
Those who buy a Juke understand what they're buying. It’s not a family hauler, that’s for sure. For people who want something fun and different, and don't mind giving up some space.
Can you forgive the quirks of the Nissan Juke for its fuel efficiency?
06 January 2025 07:58
Fuel economy in the real world is disappointing. But I'm not seeing it, Nissan talks up the efficiency. But it’s definitely not enough to make up for the cramped interior and the weird CVT.
Has the GT-R’s AWD system been left in the dust by other cars, or is it still impressive?
06 January 2025 07:52
The AWD on the GT-R is still fantastic. It may not have the fancy torque vectoring of newer systems, but it just gets the job done. It’s mind blowing still the way it puts power down.
Is the GT R’s interior a deal breaker in 2025 or has it aged well?
06 January 2025 07:52
The GT-R's interior, I actually like. It's not a luxury car trying to be a luxury car, it's a driver's car. It's built to last and everything is where it should be. Giant iPad stuck to the dash? Who needs that?
Is the GT R still a tuner’s dream in 2025, or are there better platforms?
06 January 2025 07:52
It depends on your goals. If you are looking to build a 1000+ hp monster, the GT-R is still one of the best platforms to build on. For a more modest build however, there are better options that won’t break the bank.
Has the time for the Nissan GT R come and gone in 2025 or is it still worth buying?
06 January 2025 07:52
Certainly the GT-R is showing its age, but that's part of its charm. It’s one of the few remaining ‘old school’ supercars that doesn’t feel like a video game to drive. If you are willing to sacrifice some modern conveniences but want something with character, go for it.
Why does the GT-R have transmission clunks and noises? Feature or flaw?
06 January 2025 07:52
I think it's a bit of both. The noises are part of the GT R's character, but they could've done a little more with it over the years. I can see why some people might find it annoying, but it doesn’t bother me.
Does the MPV styling of the Kia Venga still fit in a market crowded with crossovers?
06 January 2025 07:37
MPVs definitely still have a place, but not in the same form as we've seen so far. Kia could be onto a winner if it could modernise the Venga’s design, while keeping its practical benefits.
Are the Kia Venga's window motor problems a deal breaker?
06 January 2025 07:37
I think that it's a bigger deal than some people make it out to be. Yes, it’s not an engine failure, but I’d go mad having to deal with finicky windows every day. Little things can really make a difference in your day to day driving.
Does the Kia Venga make up for its lack of SUV styling with its high seating position?
06 January 2025 07:37
In fact, I like the Venga's honest design. It's not saying it's trying to be something it's not. Unlike those plastic body claddings on crossovers, the high seating is genuinely useful.
Is it a drawback or a reliability bonus that the Kia Venga lacks modern tech features?
06 January 2025 07:37
It depends on how long you want to keep the car I think. The Venga is great if you want a long term, low maintenance option. If you like to change cars every couple years, you may feel as though you're missing out.
Is the ground clearance of the Kia Syros a deal breaker on Indian roads?
06 January 2025 07:32
I believe it's more about the idea of safety and ruggedness that goes with having higher ground clearance. If it's too low, even though practically it's sufficient, Kia might have a hard time selling it.
Will the Kia Syros's distinctive design stand the test of time or become unfashionable fast?
06 January 2025 07:32
I think it'll age well. There’s something about a boxy design that seems to make it a classic. Look at the Suzuki Jimny or the old Land Rover Defender. Form over function often doesn't make it past the history books.
Do the Kia Syros' sliding rear seats actually make sense, or are they just a gimmick?
06 January 2025 07:32
It’s genuinely innovative for this segment, I think. It gives that extra flexibility that you normally only get in much bigger cars. It’s a game changer for small families or folks who occasionally need to carry around larger items.
Is this a fancy WagonR or does the Kia Syros have what it takes to be a game changer for urban families?
06 January 2025 07:32
I actually like the design. It's different and it's noticeable. And the practicality factor is huge too. In this segment, sliding rear seats is a big deal. This could be a hit with young families who want something practical but don't want to look like they are driving their dad's car if the price is right.
Will the Kia Syros eat up sales from the Sonet and Seltos or find its own space?
06 January 2025 07:32
Honestly, it could go either way. It could create a new segment if priced right. But if it gets too close to the Sonet or Seltos in terms of pricing, it will definitely cannibalize sales. This one is a tricky one for Kia to tread.
Is the infotainment system on the Kia Sportage a deal breaker?
06 January 2025 07:29
I don't think people are making too big a deal out of this. For what most people need - navigation, music and phone calls - the infotainment is fine. If you’re looking for a tech powerhouse, buy a Tesla. It may have quirks in the infotainment department, but overall the Sportage gives you great value elsewhere.
Is the Kia Sportage's design more stylish than practical?
06 January 2025 07:29
The Sportage's design, I think, is one that Kia nailed it. Yes, it's not perfect, but name one modern car where it is. I feel like I’m driving something special, not just another boring crossover, because of the style. And let's be real, the cargo space is still more than enough for most people.
Is the Kia Sportage too soft a ride for enthusiastic driving?
06 January 2025 07:29
It is too soft a ride for my taste. It’s not a sports car, I get that, but in crossovers, it’s on the softer side of the spectrum. What I wish is that Kia had found some middle ground between the two, a bit more engagement without too much comfort being lost.
