  1. The R8 produced in 2014/15 is considered the finest iteration of the model.
  2. The warranty and customer service departments operate based on distinct directives, with each department having its own allocated budget and objective. By making a phone call and articulating a well-considered complaint, there is a chance that you may get a favourable outcome, particularly if the department's budget has not been exhausted. Based on my personal and professional experience, it is very advisable to give customer services a chance, particularly if you are a devoted consumer of the business. 👍😁
  3. Have you attempted to contact Kia customer services yet? Upon requesting a formal explanation as to why it is not included under the anti-perforation guarantee. Subsequently, I would contact Kier customer services to get their confirmation on the cause of corrosion in these specific automobile components and seek clarification as to why they are not eligible for coverage under the anti-perforation guarantee. Ultimately, in that particular place, there has been no occurrence of stone chips or any kind of harm. I will be inclined to escalate problems with Kia customer services personally.
  4. Indeed, I agree completely. However, in my opinion, the A45 is surpassed by a 5 pot engine that is more advanced in its development.
  5. In reference to the above statement, I am uncertain about the meaning of "op".
  6. What does the S3 achieve a quicker acceleration time of 4.7 seconds from 0 to 60 mph with its 333 horsepower?
  7. I strongly disagree with this statement. Even in dry conditions, the P-Zero tyres on my vehicle lack grip to such an extent that they may as well have been manufactured by Cadbury's.
  8. In my perspective, there is no alternative to the Pilot Sport 4S. There is no occurrence of early wear, especially if you are not mistreating them.
  9. I am always willing to participate in a race, as long as there is little traffic, no need for frequent lane changes, and the race consists of short bursts of speed followed by immediate cessation. Nevertheless, I am willing to provide the random ricer with a good experience, since it is not for my own benefit, but rather for their excitement to share anecdotes about the kind individual in the R8 who briefly delighted them and offered a gesture of approval. During the period when I had a modified imported vehicle, the particular anecdote and recollection would last for a significant duration!
  10. Utilising downshifting for your gearbox is not advisable in the long run.
  11. I have formulated a declarative statement, followed with a multitude of words starting with the letters B, F, and maybe a few other ones.
  12. This weekend, I will be changing the primary battery on the CLS. Is it necessary to maintain a consistent 12 volt direct current (DC) power supply to the battery leads during the switch over process in order to prevent any loss of system memories? I own an excess 12-volt motorbike battery that I might perhaps use.
  13. Although unrelated to the main issue, I must say that the wheels are rather appealing. What kind of coating or paint is it?
  14. Unlikely, unless it's a classic. I am uncertain, but I read that certain famous works are excluded.
  15. This would be amusing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115801535407?hash=item1af64f33af:g:nhgAAOSwARtkXOIV&amdata=enc:AQAIAAAAwFCJFQorP7PsY4zo4y7MxTGzKB93fSuqGK+rA1XjCzGMuObmzzkqAgsxZTMjmD/oyT7fiwtV/V/DWpP2CzlEKykB3aoMDqEvF1Ag5NKylhYRhG7cfmd46JBYYHWr9tJW/dAB6vK0fYOrSaemj4wItg+2isiKjrB9MYs6BwewUZaIruykeP8FYfB4cNxdWQbtbScY/b0FOwz1m00k7utLXbxiSzUv3LrECGZ/fajWrGa8bU6F4lU45Eu4y2FjecjqfA==|tkp:Bk9SR7rRtL-BYg&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X8ead9f69fa5f9790fe9b4e0e7de5d659
  16. Regrettably, the clicking issue has not recurred since then, and the support centre is unable to determine the cause.
  17. I reported the issue to the provider, provided them with the video evidence, and received the typical answer that they had not encountered a situation like this before.
  18. Greetings, Everyone! I own a 2022 Mazda CX60 Takumi PHEV, which I acquired on November 24, 2023. The automobile is experiencing problems as outlined in forums, such as short range, erroneous range display, and creaking sounds. Today, after parking in front of my home and turning off the vehicle, it automatically locked. Approximately 15 minutes later, when I attempted to restart the automobile, it produced a persistent clicking noise that continued even after I unlocked and entered the vehicle. The activity ceased after I started the engine. Below is the link to the video I created on the unusual sound. Please see it: https://streamable.com/1z67ld Has anybody had a similar issue? This is pretty alarming! I would also want to find out where I may get information on the precise manufacture date. The B-pillar badge lacks information, Mazda Europe registration using the GEPC app only indicates the 2022 manufacturing year, and the labels on engine components have October 2022 dates. Thank you for your assistance!
  19. I am making a more optimistic estimate and choosing $150,000.
  20. Following the dieselgate scandal, there has been a significant decline in trust towards new diesel vehicles in the United Kingdom, despite their improved environmental performance, which in some instances surpasses that of petrol cars. This is mostly attributed to the implementation of diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and the use of Adblue technology, both of which effectively reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Upon entering my registration number into the official Transport for London website, it was determined that I would not incur any penalties in the form of a fee. Indeed, I have tested both my prior CX5 models, namely the 2013 and 2016 versions, and none of them would incur the additional fee. However, it seems that the market for secondhand diesel cars remains robust, despite the fact that older diesel vehicles tend to have higher emissions. I mostly reside in the Derby region; but, as members of the National Trust, we often partake in visits to Hardwick Hall.
  21. The 2.5L engine variant is now unavailable in the United Kingdom in any capacity.
  22. Has a solution been identified for this issue? Encountering a similar predicament. I performed maintenance on the BMS connection, namely the single wire connector, and also tightened the screw on the positive terminal of the alternator. The observed symptoms are the initial voltage reading of 11.8-11.9 when starting the automobile, followed by a further increase in voltage to a range of 13.8-14.1 after turning the car off and on again. I proceeded to replace the battery with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) battery that was readily available to me, and meticulously inspected all the connections inside the battery compartment. It should be noted that the issue of recurrence is not consistent, as the device operated without any problems for a duration of three days subsequent to the battery replacement, just to manifest the issue once again. Any assistance provided would be much appreciated. Thank you.
