I have a car purchase plan since the beginning of February this year. As the first car in my life, I am going to choose among BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. As for why I do not consider Audi, I really have no feeling.
After having a car purchase plan, I basically mixed in the forum in February and began to compare the models, prices and configurations of the three brands. After a month’s understanding, I narrowed down the selection to BMW 525 and Mercedes-Benz E300 (during this period, I gave up Porsche Macan, considering that the maintenance cost was too high on the one hand and the rear space was too small on the other hand, so I had to give up finally). At the beginning of March, I began to go to the fourth son store to have a face-to-face understanding. The first thing I went to see was Mercedes-Benz. The appearance and interior decoration were very good, especially the interior decoration created a very good sense of luxury, but it was a pity that the interior decoration was made of imitation leather. But the reason I finally gave up was that when the car started, I almost laughed at the 4s store– as rumored, the engine sounded like a tractor. This really lost the identity of the Mercedes-Benz brand, so I simply understood it and gave up. The next step is to go to BMW. At the moment of entering the store, I was attracted by the black 5-series parked at the front entrance. After asking the sales of the reception, I knew that it was the 525 of the standard axis, and then I went to see the long-axis model, but in a few minutes I turned my attention back to the 525 of that standard axis (ps: there was no comparison between the imported standard axis and the domestic long axis). If you had asked me at that time what attracted me to this car, I certainly couldn’t answer it. It was a feeling of ambiguity, just like the feeling of liking someone, that is, I like it from the bottom of my heart, for no reason at all.
As the axle-marked car can not be test-driven, so can only test-drive a long-axle, but after a lap feel regular, maybe I drive more stable, do not like fierce driving, so there is no deeper feeling.
Then you can only understand the interior of the two models:
1. Space: I am 183.5 tall, and after adjusting the seat to my most comfortable sitting position, there is about one punch in the head space of the driver’s seat of the standard axis and the long axis; there is a big difference in the passenger seat space in the back row, and the long axis is really rumored to be able to cross two legs, but the standard axis is enough, at least for me personally.
two。 Seat comfort: the long axis is soft and comfortable to sit; the axis is marked with a sports seat, which is hard to sit, but can adjust the inclusiveness on both sides.
3. Configuration: the long axis is richer than the standard axis.
After a simple comparison, we still choose the standard axis, and then we talk about the price. The prices of the full payment and the loan are 50 and 51.5 respectively, and the budget at that time is less than 50, so I told the sale. if the full landing 49 can be done, then pick up the car immediately, as a result, I was stupefied for an hour, and I was very upset, so I had to leave and go to another store to have a look. As a result, it was more expensive by comparison, and in the end it was too late, so we had to go home and discuss it. Later, because of work, the matter of buying a car was temporarily shelved, but when I was free, I would still visit the forum. I happened to see a post from a brother saying that the country would lower import tariffs on cars on July 1. I thought that I was not in urgent need of a car. It doesn’t matter if I wait a little longer. The next thing is to wait for the moment when the national policy is implemented.
In the twinkling of an eye, three months passed, and the time came to a weekend at the end of June. At that time, I made an appointment for sales in advance and went to the fourth son to have a talk with a try to see if the landing price could reach 41. (during this period, I have been visiting the forum. Many motorists have enjoyed the discount in advance because of this wave of national tax cuts, with the 525 axis price on arrival at about 41). After the meeting, I asked the sales to quote the current lowest price, and after the sales accounting, I gave a landing price of nearly 43, so I asked her bluntly whether 41 could be landed. If you can, you can pay for the car right now (the fourth son has a car that came out of the factory in February). After half an hour, an agreement was finally reached, and a deposit of 20,000 was paid immediately. Scheduled to pick up the car two days later, that is, June 26 (requested by the fourth son, said it takes time to test the vehicle), the final price on arrival is 41.1, plus the modified electric tail and film, the landing is close to 42.5.
At present, two months have passed and I have driven about 2500 kilometers. I will briefly talk about some feelings about using the car.
one。 Advantages.
1. Fuel consumption: shortly after picking up the car, I took a trip to Shanghai from Yiwu, and the fuel consumption was reduced from 15.5 to 9.1, which is still very powerful. The rest of the time is basically opened near the company and in the urban area. At present, the fuel consumption is 11.1, and the overall price comparison is satisfactory. If the road condition is good or if you often run on the highway, it is possible to consume about 8 fuel as the forum said.
two。 Mute: this is really a compliment to BMW, this generation of mute is so great that you can only hear a little tire noise when driving at high speed (the original car has Pirelli’s blowout-proof tires, which would be better if it were Michelin).
3. The turn is very precise, pointing to where to hit. In addition, because the car body is 10 centimeters shorter than the long axis, it feels more comfortable to handle than the long axis.
4. Acceleration is very powerful, as long as you are willing to give oil, power is on call.
5. Air conditioning: I don’t know why some riders think the air conditioner is not good. I think the air conditioner is very cool, even a little cold, but it needs to be adjusted.

two。 Shortcomings.
1. No spoon lamp.
two。 No electric tail.
3. No driving assistance.
4. No waist support.
5. The hub is so unwear-resistant that it has been worn out in several places in only two months.
6. There is a sudden setback at low speed, which can only be alleviated with a little throttle.
