2025 GWM Cannon Alpha P05 owner review

Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it? Yes. The car has a differential noise above 90kmph, especially at the tip in point, coasting. It also has a rough idle or similar when you reverse and slowly brake, or when you stop at the lights and have the brakes on when stopped in drive. There was some surface rust under the car. The crankshaft balancer had some issues as well and was replaced. The differential and rough idling issue hasn't been resolved,…

2025 Leapmotor C10 Design owner review

Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it? Yes. The 12V auxiliary battery failed at 20,000km. According to the RACV roadside assist mechanic, it is a common fault amongst hybrids, and he recommended getting an Australian-made Century battery fitted. Since then, we've had no further issues. The battery was changed under warranty; apparently, one cell had collapsed. Have you had to make any warranty claims? Yes. As above, it was a failure of the 12V…

2026 Denza B5 Leopard owner review

Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it? No. Have you had to make any warranty claims? No. Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership? Yes. The 3500km Inspection Service, Oil & Filter, provided a loan car for the day, no cost. Booking was easy, but we did have to wait for service offerings to appear; our local Kew location did not have servicing up until early February. Overall, are you satisfied with your ownership…

2025 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max AWD owner review

Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it? No. Have you had to make any warranty claims? No. Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership? Yes. The closest Chery dealer (Cardiff) is around 40 minutes away, although checking in was a smooth process. Whilst there is a lounge, there is no coffee facility, so I went for a walk up the road. By the time I got a haircut and a coffee, I received a call to say the car was ready. There…

2024 Mazda CX-80 Azami owner review

Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it? No. Have you had to make any warranty claims? No. Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership? Yes. The car had its one-year service at Stanmore Mazda. Absolutely zero complaints; service was timely and hassle-free. As the first service, there really wasn’t much scope for disaster, but the car came back clean and on time, so I can’t ask for any more. Overall, are you satisfied with…

2023 Lotus Emira First Edition owner review

Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it? Yes. A few niggling issues which have been promptly dealt with by SSC. Early days, there was a stall start issue relating to the fuel. There have been some other minor issues relating to air conditioning and minor interior problems, which were quickly fixed. All to be expected with a hand-built car. Have you had to make any warranty claims? Yes. The Emira is notorious for having paint bubble problems.…

No Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership? No Overall, are you satisfied with your ownership experience so far? Yes The Cupra Ateca V is a bargain in Australia.
