Chapter 241: Picking Up Leaks (2)

As for the Mazda Ruiyi in front of him, the results given by the primary identification skills of the second-hand car are very clear, the edge of its roof has been smashed, the two doors on the left have been replaced, and the surface skin of the upper beam, A-pillar and C-pillar is all sheet metal painted, but the main structure is not damaged, but the vehicle skin is injured, and the overall strength of the body is not reduced.

The trunk lid and hood are all original with no traces of disassembly, no painting, and no pits.

After the repair, there is no abnormality in the interior of the car, there is no trace of the airbag being opened, and the dashboard, seats, and central control have not been disassembled......

Song Guoyuan saw very clearly after peeling off the rubber strip just now, there was no artificial hole of the electric drill, there was no deformation of the steel plate, and there was no cutting and knocking traces, which proved that the core skeleton was not injured, which completely confirmed the judgment of the primary identification skills of second-hand cars, and met the lighter "three types of accident cars" standard.

After confirming that the overall situation was fine, Fang Yuan's eyes aimed at the front face of this Mazda Ruiyi, and suddenly smiled slightly.

Among all the Japanese brands, the most impressive thing for Fang Yuan is not Honda with a red-headed machine, not Lexus with a flamboyant and stunning grille, not Subaru with a boxer engine......

It's a Mazda with a rotor swan song.

The rotary engine is small in size, high in speed, high in power, light in weight, low in center of gravity and small in moment of inertia.

People often joke that a certain model can cut 2nd gear to 7300 rpm, and whoever wants to do it!

The rotary engine smiled slightly, and silently lowered the engine speed to 9000 in the original state, but at this time, the second gear could still easily break 100.

If the speed limit is broken, the speed can exceed 10,000, imagine how wonderful it is to open the second gear to 120.

Of course, the rotary engine is not without disadvantages, it has small torque, weak starting acceleration, easy to wear, high fuel consumption, and is not environmentally friendly.

In particular, the maintenance is relatively complicated, 60,000 kilometers need to be overhauled, even if you pay attention to the use of spark plugs and engine oil, the overhaul time is only delayed to 100,000 kilometers after 15 minutes of honest hot car before each drive.

And the people who can repair the rotary engine are all industry elites, not like tinkering with the Jetta, you dare to find a master to let him disassemble the rotor engine, and he will not dare to take your single job.

Compared with the famous RX-7 and the RX-8 officially introduced to Huaxia, the Mazda Ruiyi in front of it seems to have no sense of existence.

Mazda Ruiyi has no presence, it is said that its sales are poor, and the culprit is Mazda's top management.

At that time, the sales of Passat, Audi and Accord were hot, and seeing that people not only did not have discounts but also increased prices, Mazda's senior management was red-eyed and wanted to get a business-friendly model for themselves to get a piece of the pie.

However, Mazda has always taken a sporty route, prides itself on the rotary engine, and shows off the handling just like BMW.

Rotary engines were banned and were not popularized in the field of civilian vehicles, so in order to fill the market gap, Mazda Ruiyi was born.

Mazda's top management decided to let Ruiyi, which inherited the mantle of the Ma6, change to the business route, and adjusted it to "comfort" to make the suspension soft.

The Mazda Ruiyi 2010 coupe 2.5L automatic extreme version in front of him was sold for 260,300, and Mazda had high hopes to hit the Passat, Audi, Accord market models, and the final result slapped the face of Mazda's senior management.

The example of Mazda Ruiyi vividly illustrates what it means to "don't treat Chinese people as fools", what it means to "wishful thinking", and what it means to "dream into reality, reality into the ditch".

At that time, Huaxia's own brand cars were not good, but Huaxia people were not fools, and they would not come up with a random model, so everyone rushed to buy it.

The first thing you look at when buying a car is the price.

At that time, Mazda decided to adopt the strategy of "new models and old models" like the Elantra.

A family of two generations go into battle together, you can't fight your own people, you must engage in differentiated marketing, diverge the price range, and the old models will definitely drop sharply to make way for new models that make money.

When the Mazda Ruiyi was listed, the Mazda Ruiyi began to be simplified, and the price was reduced, from about 230,000 to 150,000, so that the Mazda Ruiyi occupied the price range of the Mazda Ruiyi, and Mazda's promotional slogan that year was "A-class car + 10,000 = B-class car".

Everyone was attracted by Mazda's advertisement, and when they began to pay attention to this new car, they suddenly found that this new model Ruiyi has a good appearance.

Indeed, the appearance of Mazda's models has always been very online back then, and this Mazda Ruiyi is as beautiful and handsome as ever.

Its hood is high and convex, which forms a layered effect with the lower fenders on both sides, but it is not a little obtrusive, and the overall combination is very harmonious.

The triangular grille is like the front extension of the hood, and the two are perfectly integrated, coupled with the sharp headlights on both sides, making the entire front face shape sharp and aggressive, making Mazda's passionate and dynamic personality jump out.

The front end of the car looks long and the tail is short, the slightly arched front wheels declare full strength, and the waistline, rear wheel arches and roof arcs are perfectly integrated at the rear of the car, which together gives it more texture in a sporty atmosphere.

The shape of the rear of the car is simple and tight, with a wide rear bumper, a cocked rear wing, and a double-sided exhaust shape that is not exaggerated, everything is just right.

Just when consumers who want to buy a car with money in their pockets are amazed by the appearance of the Mazda Ruiyi, they suddenly feel that something is wrong.

Shabi, do not buy.

So a group of potential car owners were angry.

When the rest of the consumers open the door, they are even more uneasy, Mazda Ruiyi sells for more than 200,000 yuan, and its rear space can be said to be the smallest in this class, and the rear door is bare, and there is not even a storage space.

Coupled with the low grade of the interior of Japanese cars, poor sound insulation, low configuration, and no air conditioning outlet in the rear, such a design is simply beaten by the Passat and Accord, where can we talk about business?

Do you let labor and management use this car to negotiate business with customers?

Shabi, do not buy.

The remaining potential owners are running away again.

Angry with consumers with business needs, those loyal fans of Mazda also do not look at the sportiness of Mazda Ruiyi.

Mazda is known as the BMW of Dongying, and those who are willing to buy Mazda are people who pay attention to handling.

But it is such a B-class car, but it is only equipped with 16 small feet, just like Liu Xiang put on embroidered shoes to go to the competition, he can't cross the hurdle, and he still wants to win the championship?

In order to highlight the business of Mazda Ruiyi, to distinguish it from the relatively sportier Ma6, Ruiyi has a total of two engines, namely a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated and a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated.

The 2.0-liter displacement has 146 horsepower, and the 2.5-liter displacement has 169 horsepower. Although the difference between the two is 23 horsepower, in fact, their acceleration time to 100 km/h is basically the same, and they are both in the early 10s......

Accelerate to 100 kilometers in more than 10 seconds and still want to talk about sports?

Not to mention those grumpy little steel cannons, who can run past the Jetta King.

The 2.3-liter naturally-aspirated engine on the Mazda6 is stronger than the 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated engine on the Mazda Ruiyi.
