Chapter 207: Common Problems

According to the appearance highlights pointed out by Fang Yuan, Manager Wang circled around this tenth-generation Civic, and felt that Fang Yuan was too right, this slip-back shape is indeed very beautiful, very attractive, but Manager Wang thinks that its front face shape is almost meaningless, not as amazing as the body and tail shape.

"Honda is taking the hard-core technical route, not a car company that relies on appearance, and it is very good to be able to design this sports sedan like this. Fang Yuan pointed to a Fit, a Jed, and a CRV in the distance, their appearance is not as high-end and atmospheric as Mercedes-Benz, not as low-key and simple as Volvo, not as cold and noble as Jaguar, but it is not as low-end vulgar as there is no lower limit, it can only be said that it is melancholy and deep, and it is not as fashionable and down-to-earth as this tenth-generation Civic.

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no contrast, Manager Wang's gaze swept the direction of Fang Yuan's finger, especially after seeing the Honda Fit, he immediately felt that the appearance of this tenth-generation Civic was crazy and handsome.

"Nice, nice, I like it. ”

Manager Wang looked down at the tenth-generation Civic in front of him, looking very excited, and at the same time, a systematic prompt sounded in Fang Yuan's mind.

"[System prompt] There is a customer.

Client: Wang Yang.

Male, 27 years old, company employee.

Requirements: Want to buy a Honda 10th generation Civic. ”

Finally, the system prompted.

While the customer's attention was all focused on the Ten Generations Civic, Fang Yuan took the time to flip through the information just displayed, and was depressed again.

At the beginning, Manager Wang had never really made up his mind to buy a car, and now he has the idea of buying a car and does not show the actual budget for buying a car.

Fang Yuan is not the rookie who has just entered the workplace, based on his sales experience, he seems to have a premonition of something, and he firmly believes in the original idea.

"Manager Fang, tell me about the rest of this tenth-generation Civic. Wang Yang's face was full of happy smiles, and he desperately wanted Fang Yuan to give him a detailed introduction.

"Yes, in addition to the stronger power of the 10th generation Civic, its body size has also changed a lot. Fang Yuan said as he opened the back door of the Civic and said.

The length, width, height, and wheelbase of the previous generation of the nineth-generation Civic were 4565 mm, 1755 mm, 1455 mm, and 2670 mm, respectively.

The length, width, height, and wheelbase of the tenth-generation Civic in front of him are 4649 mm, 1800 mm, 1416 mm, and 2700 mm, respectively.

With an increase in body length of 94 mm and a wheelbase of 30 mm, it is still a compact model, but it has made a substantial breakthrough in terms of space.

The back row of the nine-generation Civic is narrow, and there is nothing for children or slender women to sit on, if it is a burly strong man who will have his head on his head, front top legs, and his body is bent like a lobster, even if it does not reach the level of Toyota 86 rear row can only squat dogs, it is also very sinful.

The body of the tenth-generation Civic is longer, the wheelbase is longer, although it is a slip-back shape, adult men sitting in the back row even if they can't lie down and Erlang's legs, they will not feel aggrieved, and the space has been greatly improved.

However, its rear seat comfort and backrest angle are average, and it will not have the comfort of a large Nissan sofa sinking into it.

"Manager Wang, you can try it in the car. Fang Yuan smiled and asked Wang Yang to sit in the back row to experience it.

"Sit down?" Manager Wang laughed in surprise, although his face was full of anticipation, but he asked with some hesitation, "Is it really possible?"

"Manager Wang, of course. Wang Hu, who was standing next to him, said to Manager Wang, "In our car dealership, except for Manager Sun, the manager of the Fang is the largest, and he said that he can." ”

Manager Wang suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered that Fang Yuan was the deputy store manager of Zhenghong Auto Dealership, and of course he had the right to test drive: "Okay, I'll try." ”

Got into the car, Manager Wang sat in the back seat and raised his head first, feeling the space problem that Fang Yuan said.

Manager Wang is more than 1.7 meters tall, and he looked at the roof of the car and his knees, and sure enough, he didn't have the kind of aggrieved feeling that Fang Yuan said.

Immediately afterwards, Manager Wang leaned back and fell on the backrest, his hands pressed on the seats on both sides of his body, and pressed down a little harder, combined with the feeling of his body, he felt that the situation was exactly the same as what Fang Yuan said, and the comfort of the seat was really average.

Manager Wang was a little disappointed, but when he looked at Fang Yuan, who was standing outside, he showed a look of admiration on his face, and felt that from the inconspicuous little thing like seat comfort, it could be seen that he was very professional, understood the details of each car, and it was not wrong to ask him to buy a car.

Manager Wang sat up straight, tilted his head and looked around the interior, feeling that there were no bright spots, no bright spots, but there was nothing to complain about, so he quickly walked out of the car again.

"The tenth-generation Civic has two engines, 1.0T and 1.5T, inheriting Honda's low fuel consumption and low cost of use. Fang Yuan went on to say that the 1.0T engine is weak and not recommended at all.

Its 1.5T engine, fuel consumption of about seven per 100 kilometers, often floor oil or in urban areas will not exceed ten, and can use 92 gasoline, do not need to add 95 gasoline like German cars, American cars, a liter is cheaper five or six cents, the cost of car maintenance is much lower.

Of course it's good to be able to save money, Manager Wang smiled at Fang Yuan and nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"The transmission of the 10th generation Civic is divided into manual and CVT, and if you want to experience the driving pleasure and speed, it is best for veteran drivers to get started. But Fang Yuan emphasized that if it is a novice driver who does not cooperate well with the oil and often drives in the city, it is better to buy an automatic transmission honestly, buying an automatic transmission may be more fuel-efficient, and there is no need to step on the clutch and step on the leg cramps.

Fang Yuan's introduction was very detailed, Manager Wang felt very open, he deliberately looked at this Honda Civic, and found that there were letters such as D, P, R, etc. next to the gear handle, and only the brake and accelerator pedal had no clutch, which proved that this was an automatic CVT model.

"The low cost of maintaining a car in the Civic is also reflected in the maintenance costs. ”

The maintenance manual recommends a small warranty for 5,000 kilometers, and the cost of changing the oil and filter is more than 400, and the cost of changing the oil, filter, air conditioner filter, and air filter is more than 600 to 20,000 kilometers.

This price is still the price of maintenance in the Honda 4S shop, if you go to a reliable place for maintenance after the warranty, the price can be reduced.

To be honest, Fang Yuan thinks that the tenth-generation Civic, as a joint venture car, has a very cheap maintenance cost, almost comparable to the ultra-affordable price of an American-made car.

Therefore, the tenth-generation Civic has become a model that takes into account sports, fashion and family with its fastback appearance, the largest space in the compact class, strong power, cheap maintenance and low car cost, and it is not surprising that it is liked by so many people.

"Hmm. Manager Wang nodded at Fang Yuan with a smile on his face, very much recognizing the situation he introduced.

"However, the tenth-generation Civic has many advantages, as well as some disadvantages. Fang Yuan looked at Manager Wang and suddenly changed his words, "These problems are all ancestral faults, and they are almost the same as the Fit just now." ”

"Ancestral question?" Manager Wang exclaimed, listening to Fang Yuan's introduction very carefully.

"Yes, that's pretty much a problem common to Honda models. ”

Fang Yuan told Wang Yang that the first problem of Honda models is that they are noisy, poor sound insulation, and there are many abnormal noises in the interior.

Fang Yuan opened the main driver's door, knocked on the front panel and said, this tenth-generation Civic uses a lot of hard plastic, and the central control quality control is not satisfactory.

Especially when running at high speed, tire noise plus wind noise, the sound of engine shaking all comes into the car and there is no sound insulation, plus the central control noise in the car, cheap plastic parts abnormal noise, noisy car owners have a headache, want to get rid of all kinds of noise, either do the whole car sound insulation, replace the aging plastic again, or turn the stereo into some heavy metal music, but this is very affecting driving safety.

Hearing the method introduced by Fang Yuan, Wang Yang snorted and was happy, it seems that owning this Civic not only costs money, but also has a strong and ordinary heart.

Another common problem with Honda is the stiff suspension.

The ninth-generation Civic, like the Fit, has a strong sense of road transmission, a poor experience when passing speed bumps, and a shock suspension that is hard enough to turn the soul upside down.

Compared with its predecessors, the chassis tuning of this tenth-generation Civic is much more comfortable, but it is still not as stable as the German car, and it is not as luxurious and comfortable as the American car, and at the same time it has caused another problem, that is, the cornering roll is relatively large, and the steering feel is very ordinary, so this generation of Civic and BMW are still a little worse than the handling.

Secondly, the 2016 model of the tenth generation Civic configuration is really not high, its manufacturer's guide price is from 115,900 to 169,900, there is no full LCD instrument panel, there is no paddle shifter, the central control screen is all 7 inches, but even the leather steering wheel, leather seats, reversing radar, reversing image, electric sunroof, LED light group These are not standard, only high-end.

In Fang Yuan's view, the tenth-generation Civic has low configuration, poor sound insulation, and hard shock absorption, which is actually not a thing, and it is okay to endure it or simply buy the top configuration when buying a car, but the 1.5T engine is the most headache of this generation of Civic.

This 1.5T engine is prone to carbon deposits, and fuel additives are required to reduce carbon deposits over time.

And it's also easy to get hot, so if you want to experience the pleasure of rapidity, it's best to pick a cool time, otherwise it will be ugly when you show off in front of your girlfriend.

The most terrible thing is that other engines burn oil, but this 1.5T engine has an increase in organic oil and emulsification.

If you find that the engine of your car vibrates greatly, the fuel consumption becomes higher, the power is not as powerful as before, and there is a strong smell of gasoline in the car, then quickly pull out the oil dipstick and look at the oil level, almost 100% of this aspect is wrong.

After the increase in oil and emulsification, Honda's official explanation was that it was caused by low temperatures in winter, and the treatment plan adopted after the recall was also relatively conservative, only to upgrade the ECU and the policy of extending the protection of the engine.

Fang Yuan looked at the tenth-generation Civic in front of him and told Wang Yang: "This car used to have an increase in organic oil and emulsification, and this problem was solved to a certain extent after recall, but the power is not as fierce as before." ”

After Fang Yuan's detailed introduction, Wang Yang completely understood everything about the tenth-generation Civic, from appearance to performance, he knew that in addition to Honda's inherent common problems, and this time the oil emulsification situation, it is a durable leather with few failures, fuel saving and worry-free space, and finally asked tentatively: "How much is this car?"
