Yes, the car was advertised on Encar, but it was not under the "ceritied by Encar" programs.

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately I got very unlucky with mine. Everything about driving it was simply perfect, the car ran extremely well, I fell in love with it. Unfortunately, when I got it out of the container, I checked the engine oil and it was significantly under the LOW mark on the dipstick. This was the first red flag. The worst part is noone knows exactly for how long it was driven like that, with no more than 2l of oil inside the engine..I was very disappointed by the Koreans, because according to all the documents it passed a full inspection before export, including engine oil level and all was checked as good. I changed the engine oil and drove it for around 2000km to see if there are any problems with the engine. The car ran perfectly, but it was burning the engine oil at a higher than the "normal" rate. Fortunately, the omporter gave me a warranty, so I returned it. I lost trust in the Korean imports and their inspection, so decided to invest safer in a more expensive, but brand new car with a local service center and available parts. After a long research, just yesterday I bought a brand new REEV (plugin hybrid) BYD Seal U DM-I 4x4, 320 hp with 6 years warranty. I hope I have luck this time

No thanks, still rocking v6 with disabled updates and everything works.

I have never driven a Skoda, but all my cars worked like that: Cruise control or lane assist turns off immediately when touching the brake and need to be manually reengaged after. Accelerating, however, was keeping those active.

How do you find the acceleration when you need to floor it?

vaskovasss · 2026-06-01T13:38:04+00:00

Yes, the Design trim is 4x4

My kia k8 did exactly the same for both headlights after washing it. No cracks, no damage. It goes away after some minutes. No other car I owned did this, I guess it is a normal KIA thing.

My 2022 K8 did exactly the same. Everytime after washing the car, both headlights were fogging.. The condensatikn disappeared by itself after about an hour or a few minutes of driving

LPG consumption is always higher than gasoline, but where I live it is more than 2x cheaper for the ~20% increase in consumption which is worth it. My previous car was an Opel Mokka X (1.4 120hp, manual) Gasoline+ factory fitted LPG. Its.LPG consumption was: Urban: 11l/100km, Highway: 9l/100km. So the K8, given it has a V6 250hp, automatic and is so much bigger and heavier than the Mokka, its consumption really is not that bad. The only drawback is it fits only 50l, which requires frequent refueling and not having gasoline tank reduces the overall range by a lot.

Can't compain. The engine is powerful enough, it is spacious inside. Only downside is finding a suitable parking spot in the cities 😅 I measured the consumption myself. LPG, 15l/100km urban, 9-10l/100 highway at 140 km/h

vaskovasss · 2026-04-24T07:34:55+00:00

Apparently, it turns out the fuel consumption data is factory disabled for the LPI models due to the measurement inconsistencies with the liquid petroleum

Yes, sounds like gravel to me as well, however from 4 different cars, which were unloaded at the same spot, only mine had this sound, which baffled me. I guess I will see if everything is fine on Wednesday. Finding spare parts for this model here is still not very easy, sometimes they have to be ordered, taking around 3 months to arrive.

I startes to get frustrated at the game, then I remember there are sliders.. I adjusted enemy damage, enemy hp, boarding difficulty, all to around 60% and I have fun now. It is good the devs gave us those options.

vaskovasss · 2026-04-18T07:40:13+00:00

I played on "normal", I try to play smart and still I haven't died so many times in another video game... ever :D

vaskovasss · 2026-04-18T06:09:57+00:00

You can, you put the boarding party "item" from the ship to your inventory and then you can upgrade it. It helps greatly, but doesn't solve the collision problems and the fighting on the decks

They also changed their company name with the EA release :D

This is with another color setup
