Don't be mistaken for the defender, it's Bolinger B1from NYC start-up. They seem to have done really good job, now let's see how she tackle the real off-road terrain

Any haters/takers....?

Have you check all the 4 wheels from inside for any presence of sand as this occasional issue often caused by little sand inside the wheel and when circle with the wheel rotation perfectly it doesn't cause any imbalance, but when it rotate in two three places inside the tire then it causes imbalance. Worth removing it off the rim and get it cleaned.

Is this 55 AED for one day or all three days.....? No info found on their website either.

To be honest, it's very nice to catch those speeding Patrols, Lexus, FJC and all sports cars who does not respect other road users safety and start flashing even when you are the maximum allowed speed limit.

So wish to see the video of this car in action as well. May be a drone based video to follow the car on the corners, show us the sound etc.

BTW, how did they manage to fit the bike engine head to car engine block. Must be crazy imagination and engineering involved.

I prefer UK cars over Germans as they design with more practical approach than the German boys, who add the stuff for selling only (Gizmo's promotion) without much of rational thinking behind it.

eew mate, Oil in cooling system is never good, get it sorted at the earliest or else whole engine might go for a toss. Cayenne service and parts are so expensive that I don't even want to think of used engine cost, It'll be horrendous as Range Rover and X6 engine horror stories.

Stay away from car buying websites, as this has been discussed here in the past and agreed that these guys offer the worst resale value. Friend of mine Cayenne expected value at 75-80k, and one of the buying website offered him 46k after wasting couple of hours with inspection. Few days later he sold for 72K cash to private buyer.

Check your tire pressure and make sure it matches with the OEM spec mentioned on driver door as per front and rear tire pressure psi.

I refuse to believe that dirty oil will impact all gear shift, as when oil is just starting to get dirty shifts are rough but noticeable more on small speed evidently as slow gear shift is more precision based and reflect any small defect loudly as oppose to higher speed shift will only be visible after few thousand kms.

I experience this same in one of my car and I ignore 1st to 2nd thud and after 2 months paid a huge bill for rebuilding the transmission when 2nd to 3rd thud also started showing.

I am sure no one will accept the last two options, as your sub conscious mind does that but conscious mind does not accept it.

First universal usual suspect for any gear issue is the gear oil and filter. Do you have record of when it was changed last? Check if it's due anytime soon. 

If you don't have record then get it change with original gear oil and gear oil filter at the earliest to save your transmission. The very first sign of stale gear oil is the 1st to 2nd and vice versa rough shifting and/or extra jerking while shifting.

So only four cylinder under 1.5 liter will have rating above poor and rest all cars falls under poor........!

Why so stringent rating........? 

You guys are awesome man, any chance to know the German garage scrap area in Dubai or Sharjah....?

I have read here few times the reference of leaf spring and in a positive way, so wondering to understand what is the key difference in both and which one is better for desert driving?

Appreciate any heads up in choosing next capable off-road ride for weekend activities. Thanks.

Indeed they have done a good job with design, but do wait for few years before putting your hand and wait to iron all the teething issue in any new car model. My two cents.

I have briefly driven with dubai4x4 long ago, though their website is closed now but I believe the group is still working in private drives and facebook friends. They were very nice and experienced guys, and I was shock to see why their website closed down.

To be honest, you are better off with 1 series if you are keen on smaller compact or 3 series if you are keen on compact sedan, as they both have proved good years require to perfect any car model. Newer car models takes at least 5+ year to reach that model maturity age to perfect almost everything based on wear and tear.

This seems a never ending fight, as they both are in same league and equally capable, competent, reliable and good looking.

Still lot depends on how someone like green and other like blue, based on personal choice.

My vote goes for Civic any day, as oppose to Corolla though in maintenance and reliability corolla is an inch better but in looks civic is 5 inch better

For sure there is no restriction on engine size, but HC count is critical and it should be under 600-700 count.

However, this HC count check is required only for the car tesing and registration and I dont think it's very critical for the import procedures.

What is the price of your wiper motor? and does it come with any guarantees....? and do you ship it UAE?

With given your choices and preference, I would say sticking to Japs is better which offers good blend of what you are looking. Nissan Patrol, Toyota Land Cruiser or Mitsubishi Pajero are all time super hit in UAE since many many years, and you can't go wrong with any. Choose as per your budget and liking of shape and features.

What a detailed and helpful replies here man, looks like so many Peugeot owners are suffering from same issue and surprisingly no one in Peugeot company do the google search on Peugeot problem and read all this. Why would they do google search when they make money out of scrapping old cars and selling new, this is the reply of my colleague who owned Peugeot and just sold it last month due to expensive repairs.

Just got the good news of new UAE lower fuel price for November = 1.81 dirham for super. In July it was 1.83 which was increased in 2012 from 1.72 (i believe). So let me be the first to break this good news of lowest fuel price since last 3 years. CHeck attached guys and drive more for less, yip[pe.
