Cost issues: The car has traveled 20,000 kilometers in less than a year and a half. Since I was going to visit Banna on New Year’s Day, I had to do maintenance in advance. According to the maintenance cycle requirements, the maintenance that should be done this time is mainly basic maintenance of the engine In terms of maintenance of (engine oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, spark plug) and air conditioner filter elements, the online reservation fee according to the APP is about 5000 yuan. After actually arriving at the store, the staff suggested that the spark plug and air conditioner filter elements should not be needed this time. The second is to recommend purchasing an in-store engine oil filter maintenance package of 4800 yuan for 8 times (within 6 years). The engine oil is 0W-20. I didn’t get fooled and bought it. The actual payment was 6000 yuan, and there were still 7 engine oil filter maintenance times in 6 years. I don’t know if it’s cost-effective!
System upgrade: When I first picked up the car, the car was version 0322. I couldn’t stand the frustration when the car started. In May this year, I upgraded to version 0323. The frustration was much lessened. At the same time, the power feeling was also weak. The speed was not enough, and it didn’t have the same momentum. So I heard that there was the latest 1123 version, so I made it at the 4S store. Let’s talk about how I felt: First, the feeling of frustration has become lighter again, and it is very weak for me. Second, the power has improved to a certain extent compared to before (limited to personal feelings only). The power output is of a continuous type, which is the kind of continuous acceleration while stepping on the accelerator. The feeling of continuous power is relatively smooth. Third, I don’t know why the system on the car has displayed 1123, and the mobile APP has not been updated for two days. Overall, 1123 is better than the previous 0323 version (personal feeling)!
