To be honest, I wouldn't mind buying this as my weekend car to drive on Jumeirah road on weekend in winter season. Look's damn nice and different than many head-turner cars out there.

Some very nice point made by @Yont and I totally agree that owning a car is lot more than the need, brand loyalty or resale. It's actually a marriage between the dealer and owner that keeps this relation sailing for years to come.

Slight mistake and your whole car owning experience is doomed. Many years ago I had Honda Accord and after couple of robotic service from some dumbest human existing on this planet I sold that car. That was the time when honda used to be Trading enterprise and not al futtaim. They were literally heartless, mind-less, merciless robotic service adviser that use to piss me off on every service and I used to ask, what wrong in my life I have done to get this stupid behavior when I am paying double the market price for normal oil change (5K) service.

I also have owned many brands in UAE, but service standard and user-friendliness of Al Futtaim is "THE BEST"

Just found this nice infographics from "your mechanic" site, thought of sharing it here.

Just FYI 1 mile = 1.6 kms, so do your math accordingly.

Besides the cost of the car, i do not think this car would be street legal and you might find it difficult to register the same in Dubai.

Seriously.....! Oh no, I was thinking of ordering one......lol.

@aatish very useful info shared. Thanks a ton bro, this is in my next to shop things......!

That's a real good work guys, really made for life from the way it's done. 

@Gaurav why would Chevrolet sell 5 dhs bush as opposed to 250 dhs cable? Do they love you or love their balance sheet more?

Today morning my car took three attempt to start and I think battery is dying now. Do you guys have any recommendation for specific brand of car battery in UAE. I checked with few guys in my office and all of them mentioned different brands: AC Delco, Solite, Amaron, Trane, Incoe. 

I agree it's good to have incentive for safe drivers, but incentive should be more than just white points, that no one can even check. 

Dubai Police should offer some service to check drivers black/white points, and also reward safe driver by some public recognition than a stupid rafle draw in which 99.9999% people luck will never work.

May be send them some e-certificate that cost them nothing, but drivers can print it and keep it or show off to encourage and inspire others around him.

I wouldn't advise Tamam if you are buying a car as that way you might not notice the real objectionable item by RTA you might face in next year passing. If you are the owner and want to avoid some trouble due to minor mods, then it's a good place.

I agree with technician on this as satwa boyz are doing same and some are awesome and some are just waste.

Have you checked the tinting shops here: https://carnity.com/business_listing/car-care-services/tinting-protection/

Have you tried driving without music and see if it helps drive at ease and not racing? I am doubting may be the choice of music you play is hard metal or upbeat party song that excites your sub-consciousness and push you to drive fast.

AC gas is leaking definitely as it last for 3 months and deplete slowly. Guy who refill, need to do the complete leak test and repair the leaking hose or dying compressor.

Which car you drive? which year model? Do you have service history? When was last service done? then we can help you more better.

Only point missing from above is the life. Standard one that comes cheap for 5-10 AED will have limited life of 15-20k Kms as oppose to expensive iridium or platinum plugs that comes for 40-50 AED and last close to 100K Kms. You can use long life plug for cars that has difficult placement to change and it's a blessing.

WOW, where this Diesel power thread is marching to is an amazing characteristic of an online forums. lol. These forums are the bitches and that's why I avoid participating as much as I can resist.

Treks made a good point of controlling the false advertising, but nobody is banning anyone. Ging cool off, you also have a valid point but stay away from such personal attack in public forums. It all start with suggestion and brainstorm and you shouldn't be so harsh in your framing your point of view.

Echo post from last month. Good morning.

Best offroad truck is very varying term buddy. You need to ask yourself first whether you want crew cab, regular cab or extended cab. Crew has 4 doors and two rows of seat for 5 passengers. Regular cab has two door and seat for two passengers. Extended have extra storage space and seat for 2-3 passengers.

Reading from your choice I think you fit in crew or regular cab. Once you know this assign yourself a set budget and then start considering A/B testing on performance so that you can narrow down to 2-3 choices than 10-15 versions and then we can help and advise further. Good luck, and remember trucks loose value faster than SUV as plenty of people buy here to tug boat and that really take a heavy toll on engine and tranny.

I have been seeing this attitude almost everywhere near the mosque area that people are parking like an end of world has happened and running for prayers. Common guys start 5 minutes early and plan properly so you don't block anyone's car or road traffic flow.

I was so happy to read this in today's Gulf news that now Police will fine AED 200 - AED 500 for all cars that park improperly and I hope from today people will start parking with some civil sense in proper designated parking spaces. Good move DP. Thanks a lot.

Hi Den,

I had 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee few years back (2010-11) that was lovely to drive on road but as soon I step on sand it use to get overheat. I never tried on sand extensively due to this overheating issue and sold after a while. It was having 120K km for 12 years old vehicle and it was in reasonably good condition with all the regular maintenance done as per Jeep service schedule.

Although I don't require any emergency help now, but I am curious to know the reason after seeing your thread here. Thanks.

Why google is not penalizing such a spam generating 1100+ forums.....?

@brandan what you are saying makes total sense, so that they create thousands of fake users and show how active their 1100+ forums are and attract advertisers to spend money.

This is just a list of forum that AutoGuide has....... and many others groups were there.

Just read above link and it's one of the reference link stating....

Passwords were stored in various encryption methods but less than 10% of the domains which account for a very small amount of leaked records used difficult to break encryption (less than a couple million). Most of the records (over 40 million) were just MD5 with salting and this is insufficient. 

The following table shows the top passwords used by VerticalScope Network users. There seem to be a lot of automated registrations and you can easily see that they own many automobile forums.

I come from different thinking, that if you can get Lexus luxury at Toyota price then choose Avalon. Secondly it's different and unique car than thousand's of Camry VS ES300. Thirdly, it will be cheaper in maintenance than Lexus.

I reckon paying 20% extra to such dealer as you can always scout good deal in used car websites through a private deal. Just make sure car has full service history and you are 90% good to go, 10% is your sheer bad luck.
