Is Rimowa luggage worth the price?
For those who own one, how has it held up over time? Would you buy it again, or are there better alternatives?
Missing suits / S-M 1
I finished the main story at 100%, I completed all side missions, and I fully finished the game at 100%, but I still don’t have the suit trophy. I am missing nine suits, which are still showing as unavailable. How do I unlock them?

Cx5 vs Caravan
My father is planning to buy a used car in Canada with a budget of around 13,000 to 17,000 CAD. We are currently considering two options: a Dodge Grand Caravan from around 2016–2018 and a Mazda CX-5 from around 2017–2018. The Grand Caravan is usually cheaper, around 13K–15K, while the CX-5 is more expensive, around 15K–17K.
We are trying to understand the real-world differences in reliability and long-term ownership costs between these two options. How reliable is the Dodge Grand Caravan in practice for those model years, and what are the most common issues or maintenance problems owners usually face? How often does it tend to break down compared to the Mazda CX-5? Is the CX-5 significantly more reliable, or is the difference more minor in real life?
Also, given the price difference, which one would you personally choose and why, assuming both are in similar condition?

Planning to buy my first car in Vancouver, BC and I’m currently looking at a 2018–2021 Lexus NX 300
Planning to buy my first car in Vancouver, BC and I’m currently looking at a 2018–2021 Lexus NX 300.
My budget is around $20,000–$30,000 CAD before taxes and fees.
I was originally focused on an Audi Q5, but after researching ownership costs and reliability, I’ve started leaning toward the Lexus NX. I like the idea of getting a premium SUV without the potentially high maintenance and repair costs that can come with German luxury vehicles.
For those who own or have owned a 2018–2021 Lexus NX:
• What do you spend annually on maintenance and repairs?
• What has actually broken on your vehicle?
• Are there any common issues between 80,000 km and 150,000 km that buyers should be aware of?
• What are the typical repair costs when something does go wrong?
• Would you buy the NX again?
• Do you feel it was worth paying more for the Lexus compared to alternatives such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, or Volkswagen Tiguan?
I’m trying to understand the real-world ownership experience and whether a used Lexus NX is a reasonable long-term purchase at this budget.
Any feedback is appreciated, especially from owners in Canada.
Planning to buy my first car in Vancouver BC
Looking for an SUV with a huge preference for a 2018-2021 Audi Q5 Progressive/Technik.
Budget is about $20k-$30k CAD before fees and taxes.
I also see options like 2019-2021 Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX5, and VW Tiguan.
I will be honest, I have much better feelings toward the Q5, both outside and inside. It just feels like a much nicer place to be. That said, this is before actually buying one.
I understand maintenance will be more expensive, but how much more expensive in reality?
What is the actual annual cost of owning a 2018-2021 Q5?
How much are people spending on maintenance per year?
What are the common repairs once these cars get into the 80,000-150,000 km range?
What are the real costs of fixing things when they break?
For people who own or have owned one:
What do you spend annually on maintenance and repairs?
What has broken on your Q5?
Would you buy it again?
Compared to a CRV, RAV4, CX5, or Tiguan, was the extra cost worth it?
Trying to figure out whether the Q5 is a reasonable purchase at this budget or if I'm underestimating the true ownership costs.
Would appreciate any real-world experiences, especially from people in Canada.

What should I consider when buying my first car?
I’m looking at a few used SUVs like the Audi Q5, Volkswagen Tiguan, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Mazda CX-5. How do they compare in terms of reliability, maintenance costs, and long-term ownership experience?
Any advice or real-world experiences would be really appreciated.
