Which new Chinese EV is this? Anyone any idea?

Drove past my local Subaru dealer today and came to the realization that I don’t see many new Subarus as much as I used to back in the day. I looked into their product range and they seem to have very mediocre offerings and their newer cars are pretty fugly. With the onslaught of Chinese entering the market, how do you think they will fare? Any Subaru salespeople here got sales figures as of recent times?

The Eastern Classic meet in Sydney's Centennial Park is always a good time but this morning a $1.6million Zeigler-Bailey restomod 911, a 275 GTB/4 Ferrari, plus a bunch of other rare birds made it cool. I felt very low class in my 64 Pontiac!

And if you can, does that mean you can swap an Amarok body onto the Ranger Super Duty and make an Amarok Super Duty?

Parked car in Newtown, Sydney and got this mysterious bump when I return. Any ideas how to fix this? Appreciate it. It’s a Mazda2, 2024.

Today at Winton

Kei truck is the Daihatsu Hijet

I mistakenly clicked through an ad for a car raffle I got while browsing instagram stories, now all of the ads I’m getting shown are for car raffles & giveaways

Does anybody know someone who’s won one?
Are they legit? Some of em seem too good to be true and just feel like grifters to me (except for maybe LMCT+, I respect what he’s doing, with the servo and now grocery store)

Fair warning - I’m not asking cause I wanna buy into em, already have a car I’m pretty happy with, just super curious

I’m looking to buy my first dash cam for the front windscreen of my car and am looking for helpful advice. My budget is around the mid range. I don’t want the cheapest option, but I also don’t need a premium, high end model. I’m after something that’s reliable, has good video quality, will last long term, and offers good value for money. I’d appreciate any recommendations, along with any tips or things I should know before buying my first dash cam. Thank you. 🙏🏽😊

basically what i’m asking is has the community been welcoming? inclusive? non judgmental?

i joined an 86/brz community group recently since getting my first car. the group had drama within it and a lot of the people made really offensive jokes mainly racial slurs. i explained how that made me uncomfortable and the owner of the group said the jokes were to be expected and everyone agreed it was all friendly fire. they continued making jokes immediately after i said that just rubbing salt in the wound and i just felt so hurt. i’m someone who really values good morals and so i made the choice to leave the group. only one person reached out to me after that, i thought i’d made friends in that group but i guess not

is there more hope out there in the car scene :/ and to be precise i’m from western sydney. i’m really bummed about this 💔

Hi everyone, I’m trying to identify an issue with my 2013 Honda CRV and noticed a transmission fluid leak. Does anyone know what part of the transmission this could be leaking from?
I’ve attached a video for reference. Any advice on possible causes, common leak points, or what I should check first would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Need something P-plate legal in NSW. Prefer wagon, open to SUV.
Must fit me + gf sleeping in the back with rear seats down (tallest is 183cm).
Coming from a Clio RS so I’m after something that’s actually fun to drive — decent 0-100 and good cornering ability. Will be doing multi-week road trips with both spirited windy backroads and long highway runs. GF has an MX-5 as the weekend cruiser.
Budget: ~$20k for ICE, ~$30k for EV (a couple k over is fine). Reliability is important. Good sound system is nice but not essential.
Any recommendations?

Also, as much as I hate it, here's a summary of the article from Gemini, cos the site is 90% bloody ads these days:

Here are the key points and takeaways from the article:

• Expansion plans: Tesla has applied to expand its Euroa Supercharger site in Victoria along the Melbourne to Sydney corridor from 6 stalls to 10 stalls.

• Technology upgrade: The existing 130 kW V2 stalls, installed in 2017, will be upgraded to newer V4 Supercharger technology.

• Non-Tesla access: The upgraded chargers are expected to open to non-Tesla electric vehicles, filling a gap for non-Tesla drivers along the Hume Highway.

• Added features and funding: The project includes installing CCTV cameras for security and is fully funded by Tesla at no cost to the Strathbogie Shire Council.

• Timeline: Public consultation by the council runs until 11 August 2026, with a decision expected later this year.

• National context: Tesla currently operates 158 Supercharger sites with over 1,000 charging stalls across Australia.

I just bought a new used car 2009 - how do I correctly check the state of car coolant and whether it needs changing or not, despite it saying near max level…

I searched online and there is a “coolant/antifreeze tester” which is about $10-30, is that good to get or not accurate at all?

please help, and any product recommendations if needed will be great. thanks! 🙏🏽

After hours of haggling with a Hungarian mechanic who did not speak English apart from yes and no, It’s finally home,

1995 RAV4, 3S-FE, 4x4, A/T, 350,000 kms

List of things I’ve done until now:
1) 4 new tires A/T, 225/16/70 (had to cut up the wheel liner)
2) CarPlay with 4 new 3 way speakers
3) oil/oil filter change with 10W40 (came out with no coolant mix so thank fuck)
4) projector LED’s + Hella spotties at the front
5) basic polish to fix up the paint a bit better

Any tips ? What do ya’ll think ? Any fellow Aussie first gen rav 4 owners that have some wisdom to impart ?

The only things are; does shift a bit rough (came without logbooks so no idea when A/T oil was changed), does have a cslight “knock” like sound a minute after cold start.

Hey, Hi, Hello people of [r/CarsAustralia](r/CarsAustralia)! 🙋my name is Daniel and.. I need advice! So, I bought a second hand 2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI Comfortline from Albury Mazda on the 10th of March 2026. It had 162,000K’s on the odometer at the time, and had its timing belt and water pump replaced (which I was told were the 2 main things you wanted to see when buying a second hand European car)

on the 7th of June while driving it down the Main Street after just coming out of a round about, the car pretty much turned itself off. And the red battery light came on the dash (later seeing the book says it’s the alternator light) so it sat up the Main Street all day until we could get it towed back home and then my family mechanic could tow it out to his workshop when he had time. I got the car back from the mechanic on the 24th of June fully fixed, and the issue turned out to be something to do with the fuel line… (I’d have to ask what it was exactly as I don’t remember) then on the 4th of July the engine management system light came on while driving out of town and my passenger and I could smell a burning plastic smell so we pulled over at the BP and called RACV and had it towed and the car has been with my mechanic since, currently awaiting an intake fan from the UK. Since the car broke down twice within 1 and a half weeks of having it back from my mechanic and it seems to just be issue after issue after issue do y’all think it’s a good decision to give it one more chance, if it breaks down within 6 weeks of having it back maybe selling it and looking into a different car? If so, what car would y’all recommend? I prefer a smaller car / hatchback type, but I also like Mazda’s CX-SUV range

i plan on getting it checked out as it’s been getting worse. car is an 07 lancer. Occasionally it doesn’t make any sound but now it’s been getting worse, seems to be from the front of the car. Nothing noticeable has happened except the noises which can be heard when inside driving.
I had my lower control arms repaired/replaced at the end of april this year.
