Chapter 178: I'll introduce you to a few more cars

Wan Changming smiled, Fang Yuan didn't laugh, he thought that what Wan Changming said was right.

Many car owners who are accustomed to driving their own cars have developed a fixed habit of rashly driving other people's cars, and it is true that they do not know how to use the gear lever on other people's cars.

Therefore, it is necessary to know the gear lever of some other models, because it is impossible for a person not to drive someone else's car for the rest of his life, or not to change cars.

Fang Yuan wanted to introduce himself to the use of the gear lever, Wan Changming was very interested, and looked at Fang Yuan as if he was a primary school student in class.

"I just told you how to use the Pocket Block. Fang Yuan pointed to the gear lever in the lower left of the Odyssey central control area, "I'll tell you another one now, this kind of Odyssey is the automatic transmission in-line." ”

"Why is it called inline?"

"Automatic inline transmission is one of the most common types of automatic transmission. Fang Yuan pointed to the groove where the gear lever is located and said, "When you are in gear, you only need to step on the brake first, and the gear lever can be pushed forward or backward in this groove. ”

Fang Yuan told Wan Changming that when he was in gear, he must first press and hold the button on the gear lever, because this button is a gear lock, and the main purpose is to prevent the owner from accidentally touching the gear lever when driving, causing the gear lever to move.

After finishing speaking, Fang Yuan asked Wan Changming to follow him, and the two soon came to a black Toyota crown.

Opened the main driver's door, Fang Yuan pointed to the stepped groove and said: "This is the automatic transmission ladder type, its groove is not the kind of straight up and straight down, but similar to the ladder step, but the operation method is the same as the straight row type, but the gear is relatively troublesome, the biggest advantage of this ladder type is that it will not hang the wrong gear in a hurry, which is safer." ”

Fang Yuan looked for a real thing to show Wan Changming when he was explaining, Wan Changming saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he felt very easy to understand, and he could tell the difference between the vertical row type and the stepped type almost instantly.

"The other is the 'non' character of the manual gear. Fang Yuan immediately took Wan Changming to the side of a Dongfeng handsome guest, opened the door and pointed to the manual gear lever and said, "Don't care about the manual gear, the operation method of the manual transmission 'non' gear lever is almost the same." ”

Fang Yuan explained that the manual transmission style is simple, the maintenance cost is low, and the old drivers who like the sense of control can't put it down, and the novices have a headache when they look at it, and the only difference is that the manual gear is not the same way to hang the reverse gear.

Like this Dongfeng handsome guest, it is to step on the clutch to death first, and hang it directly to the right back.

And some models, such as the manual transmission of the old Jetta, need to press the gear lever down before it can be successfully hooked in, and some models even need to be lifted up.

If you don't know how to hang the reverse gear when you open the manual transmission, and no one around you asks, you might as well try these three methods, and if you can't hang it directly, press the gear lever down or lift it up.

Next, Fang Yuan introduced the electronic type of the BMW Seven Series to Wan Changming, the knob type of Land Rover, but there was no button model, which made Wan Changming feel a little regretful.

In fact, Wan Changming should feel lucky, because Zhenghong Auto Dealers is a second-hand car, there are many brands and models in the showroom, which is very advantageous in terms of type, if it is a 4S store of a certain brand, it is almost impossible to find three different styles of gear levers in such a short time.

Returning to the Honda Odd car, Wan Changming was in a good mood, as if he had been constipated for many years, and at the same time, he did not forget to thank Fang Yuan, thanking him for wasting time and energy to teach himself such a vivid lesson.

Fang Yuan told Wan Changming that the Honda Odyssey placed the gear lever in the lower left of the center control area, plus the magic seats in the third row, the second row of independent seats that can be moved back and forth, the space of the Odyssey has been optimized, and the driver and the family members behind have a large leg margin.

With the softly padded and well-wrapped seats, even if the Honda Odyssey has poor sound insulation, hard suspension, and loose chassis, the passengers in the car can unlock countless postures and sit comfortably, for the interior comfort of the vehicle, the Odyssey has reached the level that an MPV should have.

"Poor sound insulation?" Wan Changming was stunned, he heard Fang Yuan say just now, the suspension of this Honda Odyssey is hard and the chassis is scattered, because the seat can be adjusted in many postures, even if it is lying, sitting, and lying on its stomach, it is very comfortable, and it is almost unaffected.

Now Fang Yuan said that the sound insulation was poor, and Wan Changming wanted to ask him what was going on.

"The 2014 Honda Odyssey is really poorly soundproofed. Fang Yuan told the truth and didn't hide it at all, "Its noise mainly comes from several aspects. ”

The first is noise from the outside.

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is driving at high speeds, and the wind noise and tire noise are all clearly transmitted to the ears.

Even if it's not driving at high speed, but waiting for the traffic light in the city, if there is a motorcycle driven by a ghost fire boy parked side by side, and the manic tail row is noisy, your own brain is buzzing, and you still think that your four doors are not closed.

"Huh, the sound insulation is so poor?" Wan Changming was frightened by Fang Yuan's words, his liver fluttered wildly, he didn't want his brain to buzz every day.

"The noise from the outside is only one aspect. Fang Yuan went on to say that there was a strange noise inside the 2014 Honda Odyssey.

Compared with the noise coming from the outside, its abnormal noise mainly comes from the windows, center console, interior, air conditioning, brake discs, steering wheel and engine.

Fang Yuan explained in detail the reasons for the abnormal noise of the windows, central control, and interior trim and the shaking of the brake disc and the steering wheel, and then focused on the engine.

This 2014 Honda Odyssey uses a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, model K24Z2, compared with the 2015, 2017 and 2018 Honda Odyssey K24W5, although they are also 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engines, but K24Z2 in addition to the cold start in the morning will have a click sound in a few seconds, fuel consumption is slightly higher, and it is quite meaty to drive, but it is stronger than the 2015 model in terms of stability and durability. The K24W5 used in the 2017 and 2018 Honda Odyssey.

At the very least, the 2014 Odyssey valve cover does not leak oil, does not burn oil, does not increase the phenomenon of engine oil, and does not suspend shock absorption and abnormal noise.

In addition, the 2014 CVT transmission is also stable, and there is no transmission stuttering and jitter on the 2015, 2017 and 2018 Honda Odyssey.

"Woo ......" Wan Changming let out a long breath, very glad that Fang Yuan introduced himself to an engine, a Honda Odyssey with few gearbox problems, but considering the old man and the little guy, he felt that it was still too noisy, and he couldn't accept it.

"I don't want this Honda Odyssey anymore, is there a model with a higher value retention rate than the Honda Odyssey, but the same comfortable ride?" Wan Changming added very embarrassedly, "Even if it is similar to the Honda Odyssey." ”

Wan Changming made it clear that he didn't want the 2014 Honda Odyssey, let alone the 2015, 2017 and 2018 models.

Fang Yuan was not angry at all, but replied with a smile: "Yes, I'll introduce you to a few more cars." ”

"Is there really one?" Wan Changming also smiled.
