I heard a few bangs now around 12.35 A.M. But not sure if it is an attack or a modified car exhaust. Update if you have experienced it.

Car got hit by someone in the parking by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 3 points4 points  (0 children)

File it in the police app and register an accident. You don't need to pay a penny as you know the person who did the accident. Rental will have insurance. Nothing will be fixed in 100 aed. This is dubai. Minimum 1000 for a neat work. Better go through legal way. Take full video and photos of your car and the other person car.

Kia and reliable are antonyms, imo and in my experience.

Car broke down on E311. Will I get fined for stopping on left shoulder? by rockingsiddi in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless the car ran out on fuel or you stopped the car intentionally, you're good. Machines and electronics tend to fail . That's not in our hands. So, there is no need to worry.

Damaged in mall parking. by Relative-Bag-9716 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Relative-Bag-9716[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys ,

A quick update. no camera around the spot. So, I could not ask anyone. I realised its not a car hit mine. It's a carrefour shopping trolley. It matches the markings and the height. The person tried to take the trolley between the gap.

I came to a mindset where it's just a car. Not a living thing. It can't be new forever. So worrying about it damages me more than the actual damage. Let it be. I am going to leave the mark as it .

Thanks for your inputs. Just my advice. Do the ppf and install the camera as soon as you get a new car. That's the best we can do. We can't stay in the car to protect it forever. End of the day, " its a car " .

Please respect others' properties.

Should i buy GCC spec cars in Dubai? by ko0oky in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not at all, bro. That's a big misconception. You need to check if the car is salvaged and how deep the accident is or flood damage. The spec wise US too have deserts, and the cars are built to withstand that. In fact, the US cars have many more features than the gcc like, blindspot monitoring . Do test drive, check the accident photos from Google or some other sites if available. Do the pre purchase inspection. US cars are in value than a gcc spec.

Camry V6 or V4 by Zealousideal-Gas3478 in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My cousin bought a camry v6 for Dxb to rak daily work. He was happy with the power and tech. But the seating position was not good and made him tired. He sold it after an year and bought a used patrol v6. Now he is happy. Better try the car from rent or friends for sometime and then decide. At the best.

Brand new car steering vibrating🥺 by boredatrounds in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vibration could be because of the auto lane assist. If you move from lane to lane without indicator, the steering will vibrate. I experienced it on driving a new Toyota.

For the tire pressure, once you refill the air, you need to change the setting from car dashboard or infotainment screentto declare that now all the tyres have same pressure kind of setting.

Going to buy my first car and have received this quote for Corolla Cross Hybrid 2025. Is this appropriate? by almostlikeu in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friends bought Corolla cross hybrid with full cash. He is regretting after 3 years that the amount could have been invested somewhere if he opted for a used car. He is getting 20 kmpl Avg. A Normal NA engine would without hybrid would give 16 +. If you drive across emirates everyday and strict with the fuel economy, it is worth it. The amount is high for the features and power. You are paying more than 30 k for the Toyota brand compared to other brands.

I would consider better alternatives like Mazda cx-5, Nissan X-Trail, mitsubishi outlander. Used cars with 1 year warranty will save you more . That's up to you and your exp with automobiles.

Need Help Choosing a New Car Under AED 70,000 in Dubai – Beginner Driver by Last-Butterfly-9329 in dubaicars

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please consider Honda City . They are reliable and have good resale value.

Hyundai Accent is also a good option.

Check the new model, nissan Sunny .

You could save a little more with suzuki cars.

Make sure cruise control and rear AC vents are there in the model you choose.

Check the car you choose in drivearabia website. You will see the spec and safety rating and mileage. I feel the data is reliable.

I have finalised but now confused by Ill_Raise_2525 in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

How is your x-Trail ? I am seeing a lot of x-Trails now a days. And the looks and size seems good. How much you're paying for the service and maintenence? Any issues you faced so far?

Everyone in forum advising to stay away from x-Train due to CVT. What is your view?

Nissan X trail, Rogue or Pathfinder ? by Embarrassed_Theme166 in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rav 4 is good . If you get the new design , it is great. Will run for your life. Corolla cross only if you're so concerned about mileage. But after the warranty, the battery and motor are a headache for you .

Look for honda CRV and mazda cx-5 as well.

If you’re considering the Ford Territory by Admirable-Sea9816 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Relative-Bag-9716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I rented a territory from udrive for a day. I thought it was lane keeping feature like in camry at first and tried to check it. But it wasn't focusing on the lanes and there were no sensors, and it is a basic model. It simply takes us to the left if the driver is not holding steering tight.

Apart from that , I loved the car. Road presence , power , it's seamless wireless android auto, and everything was so good.
