Chapter 374: 6-Speed Handwave (Ask for Subscription)

Fang Yuan just explained the reason for the abnormal noise in the interior of the domestic Xingcheng, mainly because of the poor materials, poor assembly process, and the hard plastic that is full of eyes is very cheap.

Wang Hu and several people have already carefully looked at the interior of this Xingcheng, and found that its interior seams are very thin and symmetrical, whether it is the instrument panel or the surface of the central control area, it is clean and tidy, and there are no plastic parts that are not aligned, and the plastic cracks and degumming bulges in the center console.

And, the steering wheel of this Xingcheng is leather, and the seats are leather, but an interesting problem was found, this Xingcheng is a leather multi-function steering wheel is good, but only the left side has buttons, and the right side is bare.

Wang Hu has also worked as a second-hand car salesman for so many years, and guesses that the reason for this is that Xingcheng's configuration is low, and there are not so many functions, of course, there is no need to set so many buttons.

Just when Wang Hu wanted to ask Fang Yuan for verification, Wu Hongjie next to him said in surprise: "This Xingcheng car is ten years old, and the interior is in surprisingly good condition. ”

"Imported Xingcheng will also have a crack in the dashboard, but it is much better than the domestic one, this car has been ten years old, and this situation has not happened. Fang Yuan said that although imported Xingcheng is also a hard plastic, at least the assembly process is better than that of domestic ones.

As for the abnormal sound of the wheels that occurred on the domestic Xingcheng, there were no common problems such as abnormal noises caused by the left and right circles of the steering wheel, and suddenly Fang Yuan remembered: "The chassis of the imported Xingcheng will have abnormal noises, especially if the car is in poor condition. ”

"Is there any abnormal noise in the chassis of this Xingcheng?" Lao Sun obviously took a lot of interest in it after hearing the noise and seeing the interior.

"Probably not. Fang Yuan said honestly, "I don't know if the original owner has never been on the track, but its chassis is now very tight and does not appear to be loose." ”

"It's good if you don't have it. Lao Sun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'm relieved." “

One of the more disturbing things that Wu Hongjie said just now is the peculiar smell, in fact, this problem does not need to be reminded by Fang Yuan, everyone did not smell the pungent smell at all when they stood in front of this Xingcheng.

As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and the situation that everyone has seen with their own eyes now has dispelled their concerns, but it is precisely this that makes everyone feel a little angry is that the same model is actually two situations in the sky and on the ground, and I don't know who is cheating the owners of Huaxia.

Satisfied with the interior, noise and taste, Wu Hongjie walked to the back, opened the door and sat on it.

Wu Hongjie's figure is burly, but he is not tall, and he feels that the headroom is okay, but the space on the left and right is a little aggrieved: "Brother, this back space is not good." ”

Everyone looked at the empty space in the back row, thinking that the space in the back row of this Xingcheng was indeed small, not to mention the setting of three people, so they could barely sit down two people like Wu Hongjie.

Lao Sun didn't care much, his hands were on the roof of the car, and he hooked his head to look at Wu Hongjie in the car: "How is it?

"It's uncomfortable, it's far from Mercedes. Wu Hongjie patted the leather seat next to him, "Not only is it hard, but it is not good for wrapping and supporting." ”

"You're not feeling comfortable because of the angle of the seats in the back. Fang Yuan said helplessly, "The seat in front is okay, the softness and hardness of the seat, the wrapping and support are average." ”

"Hahaha, if the buyer wants to get a good lap time off the track, these have to be removed, especially the main driver is better to replace it with a bucket seat and a six-point seat belt, so as not to be thrown around. "Zhao Gaojie is in a good mood now, and he doesn't have the bitter gourd face just now.

"Why do you want to dismantle the seat?" Wang Hu really didn't understand why he had to remove the seat if he wanted to get good results.

"I'm talking about dismantling the seats for lap races, with the goal of losing weight. Zhao Gaojie patiently explained to Wang Hu, not to mention the seats, and even the air conditioner had to be removed.

Wang Hu smiled bitterly, the racers still have to wear racing suits and helmets, so they don't die of heat?

Looking at Wang Hu's face full of confusion and confusion, Zhao Gaojie did not explain again this time, because although the racers had to endure the high temperature, the kind of happiness and thrill were something that Wang Hu could not experience.

"My client, who is also an amateur, said that the suspension should be replaced, the driver's seat and seat belt should be replaced, and the other seats and air conditioners should not be removed. Lao Sun then asked Fang Yuan, "How is the power and handling?"

"This Xingcheng is a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 147, a maximum power of 108, a maximum torque of 182, and the official 000 acceleration is 9.2 seconds......"

Before Fang Yuan finished speaking, everyone had already begun to discuss, complaining that the data of this Xingcheng was not very good.

"The 2.0's naturally aspirated engine power is really average. Fang Yuan admits that the power has no advantage over other competing models, this is a congenital condition, and no one has a problem.

However, this Xingcheng is a 2010 model, the car is ten years old, for the sake of fairness, it is best to look at it according to the time when it came out, at that time, even a model like the Honda Spire with 000 acceleration in more than 10 seconds was called a sports mid-level car, so it seems that the power of Xingcheng is unexpectedly good.

Moreover, Fang Yuan believes that Xingcheng's naturally aspirated engine does not have the surging power of turbocharging, and it can't give the pleasure of pushing back, but it is better than durable leather and cheap maintenance, even if it is an imported model, the body technology is the same as that of Xingcheng, which began to be produced in China in 2011, so whether it is maintenance or accessories, you don't have to worry too much.

Fang Yuan was very right. Zhao Gaojie also believes that the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine has its inherent limitations, even if it is on high revs, the power is just like that.

Zhao Gaojie knows that every time he goes out of a corner on the track, he deduces that this Xingcheng has such data, if it is not remodeled, even if the accelerator is kicked into the engine compartment in the original state, it is also a dry roar of the engine, and the speed goes up slowly, and it cannot reach the extent that the owner can do what he wants.

After Fang Yuan and Zhao Gaojie's explanation, Wang Hu and the others were a little confused.

They really can't understand that the power data of this Xingcheng is not eye-catching at all, and it is even a bit weak compared with the current various 1.5T small-displacement turbo models, why does Fang Yuan still respect it so much?

"Because of its 6-speed handwave, chassis and handling. "The most attractive thing about Xingcheng is not the engine, the reason why Fang Yuan recommends Xingcheng is that it is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.

There are many manual transmission models in the Chinese world, whether it is Wuling Hongguang, or Dongfeng Shuaike, or some joint venture brands, most of them are five-gear.

It is a 6-speed manual gearbox, but it also has a slightly sporty attribute, and the price is cheap, and it is as rare as the panda.

The feeling of using this hand wave is actually not as good as the Volkswagen gearbox, but the clarity is also very good, and there is no feeling of collapse.

The advantage is that the gear ratio is very tight, and the advantage is that the connection between each gear is particularly smooth.

Drivers, especially novices, are most afraid of frequent increases and decreases when they open manual transmissions.

When the owner of Xingcheng sits on his car and drives on the road, he can't help but start shifting gears, enjoying this kind of benign interaction between people and cars, and will not take frequent gear increases and decreases as a kind of torture, but will have a sense of control in the world.

The disadvantage is that its 6-speed overdrive gear ratio does not seem to be very different from the 5th gear, and when running at high speeds, the speed is relatively high, which is not conducive to fuel consumption.
