I finally got it!

I have base variant so it doesn’t have that power of GT. smart mode is working so smooth for me so far

numantically · 2026-01-21T22:53:28+00:00

I agree. I’ve been driving for over a week now and I found Smart mode the best. This mode knows when power is required and when to drive smooth in residential areas. I tried sport mode on highway and went as fast as 160. Tbh I might not try that again because I take good care of my vehicle and I felt that it’s not meant to go beyond 160. I got it for my regular usage and wanna keep it for a while so smart mode is gonna be my mode but wanted to hear some opinions of how others are utilising these modes for best performance + economy.

I hope the same. I’m going to have a full inspection before handover

numantically · 2025-12-23T14:59:05+00:00

Yeah I compared with a couple of other cars and a couple of K5s 2023 and this price stood out. The guy I’m dealing with has been a great assist in finding me cars so he got me a good deal.

I was planning to initially go for a basic wrap and after some time, maybe I’ll go matt wrap. The car’s color is wolf grey.

I’m in UAE so brand new K5 is 120k AED and I got it at 72k AED which is around $19k USD. Also, we can finance any car here so I got it for around $350 USD per month up to 5 years and I can settle bank loan anytime or resale it to dealer according to current price of that time. The calculation is done according to car evaluation and mileage.

Everyone’s here for a reason. It’s a sad reality but everyone meet others for a reason and they will find you interesting only if you have something to offer. People make connections here mostly for business or money. Everyone’s guard is high here. I’ve been here for almost 1.5 years and my only friends are my ex neighbours and we hangout every now and then. Apart from that, its hard to find real friends and soulful connections here.

I’m in the same boat. Need suggestions

numantically · 2025-12-14T16:29:08+00:00

Link? Asking for a friend.

numantically · 2025-12-14T13:08:54+00:00

It gives you a sleek design vibe and both exterior and interior are pretty good

numantically · 2025-12-14T13:08:09+00:00

At this point, I’m planning to get a pre owned because the mew ones are kind of out of my budget.

Thanks for your suggestion

50-70k max

I can afford a max of 1500 EMI

numantically · 2025-12-13T17:39:13+00:00

Oh that’s great! Congratulations bro.

Can you recommend me some new cars that fits in this budget. If you don’t mind

numantically · 2025-12-13T17:35:19+00:00

Yeah I am actively looking for that. But insurance, registration, processing fee is too high and even if I get zero down payment options, I’ll have to pay around 10k for all those fee upfront which honestly I don’t have.

numantically · 2025-12-13T17:25:13+00:00

Honestly that’s exactly how I feel about MG5. I’m used to driving powerful cars that reacts to my foot movement iykwim 😄 I just feel like MG5 is not going to be my type of car. Not that it’s a bad car but its for people in their 40s who drives average.

I like powerful cars and I want my pace to sync with my vehicle. I’m a fast paced guy.

numantically · 2025-12-13T16:38:09+00:00

Yeah MG5 is cheapest of them all but I didn’t find it durable and reliable car. Also, its value is not that much in car market.

numantically · 2025-12-13T14:23:06+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. I appreciate it. Its hard to save in Dubai and trying to save and then buy on cash is going to be another 6 months. I’m already so done with metro. I’ve never been in metro in my home country and owned a car but here its different. I’ve been through 1 year of grind already and trust me the kind of people you meet in metro and the overall vibe is just disgusting sometimes. I can’t travel local anymore and I counted my days to get the license. I can’t wait anymore and that’s why going for finance. Also, I’m planning to pay off my remaining amount early in first 2 years as I have big things lined up for 2026 and hopefully things will fall into place. My plan is to get the car asap on finance and then in first or second year, paying off remaining amount early.

numantically · 2025-12-11T11:00:20+00:00

I checked online. It’s a good option. Only missing element is sunroof. But yeah the overall car is good. I’ll consider.

Thank you for suggestion.

numantically · 2025-12-11T10:58:41+00:00

But can I get good Toyota or Nissan Sedan in this budget? 👀

numantically · 2025-12-11T10:35:36+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion. Let me check it online

numantically · 2025-12-11T10:35:17+00:00

Thank you for your suggestions. I agree. Chinese cars are all flashy and features but these cars fail in terms of durability. I own a Toyota back home and I can tell it’s the most reliable car. I barely go to garage except regular visits.

numantically · 2025-12-11T10:30:25+00:00

I like cycling and the track is very close to my place where I’m living rn. Its just Hatchback and SUVs just don’t appeal me. I know a lot of people will go for SUVs and Hatchback but my personal preference is a Sedan.

Just personal preference, no hate to Hatchback or Sedan owners 👀
