      'vegan leather' or 'synthetic leather' you see in all the new cars is much the same, it's just a rebrand - there's different grades, some better than others

        This was the price of the drive away brand new real full leather sunroof metallic paint 2.0 TDI VAG car some years ago.

        • May4th on 06/02/2025 - 18:23

          no one uses real leather nowadays, officially it's to appease animal lovers and for sustainability, but we all know it's to cut cost. in some ways high quality 'fake' leather is actually easier to maintain than real leather.

        Just get some nice fabric or sheepskin seat covers (I have sheepskin in mine). The dash won't peel, but again, you can get a dashmat as you probably should in any car.

    • feisty on 06/02/2025 - 18:25

      Sadly most cars have seats that are more than 50% pvc or vinyl. Subaru says leather except in high wear areas which means most of the seat. Honda were sued in the US for claiming leather seats when they were 20% leather. The car makers must be laughing at us gullible fools.

    • randomdude14 on 06/02/2025 - 16:28

      For fuel efficiency & daily driving: CVT (common in economy cars like Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic)
      For performance & longevity: Traditional auto (found in sports cars, SUVs, and trucks)

        Traditional auto for performance? My guy stop parroting things you read on the internet I promise you they are wrong.

        • Simon Wright on 06/02/2025 - 17:14

          I just read your comment on the internet, so I guess you're wrong too. In terms of numerical performance, the ZF 8HP is superior to the best manual driver, and most dual clutch transmissions. You'll find this traditional (planetary gears and torque converter) automatic gearbox in hundreds of car models including the BMW M3 Competition (and nearly every other combustion BMW), Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, Audi RS6, Lamborghini Urus, Rolls-Royce Wraith, and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

          • doobey1231 on 06/02/2025 - 17:50
            -3

            @Simon Wright: Superior is a very subjective thing, it entirely depends on the context. A traditional automatic isn’t superior to any other option when you provide context. It’s less economical than a CVT, it shifts slower than a DCT and it’s less engaging than a traditional manual.

            All the vehicles you mentioned use a dual clutch transmission not a traditional, torque converter automatic.

            You don’t have to take what I say for truth, but I implore you to do more research on the topic.

        Toyota's eCVT doesn't use the problematic belt driven system of normal CVT's.

        Video of a 3rd gen below, everything sold locally over the past few years was the 4th gen, with the new Camry using their latest 5th gen hybrid tech.

      I can understand if you came up with literally any other concern. "China bad", "unknown reliability", "not enough power", etc. I'll even empathize with one or more of those.

      But that you can't "get used to" CVTs?! Like what's there to get used to? You simply put it in drive and open the throttle and it goes.

    • King Tightarse on 06/02/2025 - 16:44

      I prefer the driving experience of revving through the gears. I know CVTs are more efficient but personally, do not like the vague feel. Sounds like some people do like them over traditional autos. Each to their own preferences.

        Why scrap it, these things are built simple and strong, can buy parts from wreckers, so many sold now. Keep it for 20 - 30 years as 2nd car. Unless you are old and won't make it another 20 - 30 years, best to not scrap it and just keep using it until 2055.

        We got an mg zst core (cvt na engine around 84kw from memory) in sept 2023 and a haval h6 lux aug 2023 although the haval is slightly bigger family also has a jolion and an mg hs too.

        The mg had steering replaced under warranty and there was something else I can’t remember (partners car). Her brother with the HS went in for electrics that kept setting alarm off and flattening battery.

        Infotainment in the MG is terrible like an ancient android tablet. Often radio would just go silent and not work especially in heat. The quality of the cameras and software even compared to Haval is night and day difference. As is the quality of their I pilot, intelligent cruise and dash interface. I drove the h6 and avoided driving the mg as much as possible.

        The car was terribly sluggish especially with the air conditioner on coming near cutting out at times as you enter roundabouts and need to give it some. And then near the end of its time with us tried to accelerate into traffic multiple times to point partner didn’t want to drive it anymore so just wore the cost and rid it for less than half the cost rather than dealing with the dealer trying to chase gremlins forever.

        Size for size I’d take a jolion over the mg any day.
