  • Plagued with quality control issues

    I wanted to love my Acura RDX, but my experience was ruined due to quality control issues. From the start, I had to deal with loud creaking noises and squeaky brakes whenever I went over a speed bump. I also found the gas mileage to be very terrible, which was frustrating when I compared it with other vehicles in its segment. For me, the infotainment system was also very unresponsive, because of which I had to reset it once a month. The ongoing headaches and frustrations outweighed any positives, forcing me to sell this vehicle and upgrade to a Lexus.

  • Small but Practical

    I’ve been driving a Kia Seltos for daily commute between Sharjah and Dubai. It’s compact but doesn’t feel cramped inside. The design is neat and modern, and I like the LED lights at night. The engine is not very powerful, but for city driving and highway cruising at 120–140, it’s more than enough. AC works perfectly even in peak summer, which is important here. Fuel economy is one of the best parts, I save a lot compared to bigger SUVs. The touchscreen is simple, and sound quality is decent. It’s not a flashy car, but very practical.
