Gurus I don't know how true. I read in an American forum that most japanese don't change their fluids. Thats why they get rid of their cars once they hit 100,000kms. That most Japanese imports still have the same oil and oil filter from the factory so its good to immediately change ALL fluids if you import from Japan
Japanese are very decent and upright people.

So, i don't believe they will be so negligent in things they do or use.

BONUS: AT THE 2014 WORLD CUP, JAPAN WAS THE ONLY NATIONAL TEAM, THAT MAKES SURE THEY CLEAN AND TIDY UP THEIR LOCKER ROOMS AFTER EACH MATCHES, EVEN WHEN THEY WERE KNOCKED OUT.

EXTRA BONUS : AFTER THE GAME BETWEEN JAPAN AND SENEGAL, BOTH FANS ALSO MADE SURE, THEY CLEANED UP THE STADIUM.

This goes to show that Japanese are exeptional people, you know anything not AMERICAN is always bad to AMERICANS.

Kingreign, heavenlybang, my elder bros Infiniti FX35 goes off when he brakes or when car is on low RPM (the indicator is less than 500rpm).

What is the solution? The Car scanner I gave him doesn't work with his SUV.

search the forum for "nascar". The scanners we gave out should be able to read it and one of the winners will be willing to help.

Plenty possible reasons. Throttle related issue, possibly? I've had misfires that made the car feel like it was about to go off due to a dirty fuel tank.

You won’t go wrong with the Elantra. I suggest you pick the GLS trim just to get some additional aesthetics.
The 2011 was entry for that chassis which ended in 2016 and this is a beauty to behold. I got the 2015 brand new in 2015 and it drove better than the 2012 Corolla. It had a better acceleration, mpg and firmer grip on the road. Well, it was brand new and I loved that car.
Finally, I don’t follow the popular thread because I want to stand out positively.

I appreciate your
inputs. However, I am confused about your opinion concerning the GLS which I think is the lower trim compared to the Limited.

Pardon me, that didn’t come out as it ought to.
I meant to say you should pick the GLS if you don’t mind additional aesthetics.
The main reason I am suggesting the GLS instead of the Limited is because the seats in the GLS are soft, very comfortable and give this cushion feeling which you will enjoy during long distance trips but the seats in the Limited option; although made with nice leather, have this sturdy and firm feeling; it’s not a Mercedes or a Lexus and you may not be at your best comfort if you are making long trips in such a seat.

Performance = great for a mid-size crossover suv. I heard it handles well also.

Reliability/ Maintenance = Both goes in hand and I’d say the CX-9 and CX-7 do not have it when it comes to practical reliability.

Fun to drive = Sure it is! I guess you’d enjoy it more on premium petrol. That way, you’d get maximum torque and overall performance.

Overall, it’s a pretty decent car and it’s affordable but resale value is a setback. However, I don’t buy a car for the sake of reselling.
