From PASSAT to RAV4, this time I returned to the German Car 530 and briefly talked about my feelings;

After seven years of driving the RAV4, I returned to the car before the National Day this year, and decided to buy the 530 auto show this year. In fact, I didn’t see many other models, which was basically limited to the BBA. I originally decided to buy the X3, but I thought it was meaningless to continue to drive the SUV, and the appearance was also relatively stingy. I also saw Q5L and GLC300 later, but the internal layout of Q5L is really unacceptable, while GLC300 is more over budget. And the back seat can’t be adjusted, so it’s hard to sit in the back. Then decided to change back to the car to drive for a few years, this choice is relatively simple, A6L drove a few times, still can not change the previous relatively old-fashioned feeling, while E300L personally feel too cool, not in line with our middle-aged temperament, maybe the next change S may be better, so directly decided to choose 530, wait until August to contact the 4S store left by the booth at that time. After another test drive at the scene, I booked a car. Chose the leading sport, mainly considering larger tires and wireless charging, the stereo is not very popular with me personally.
Let’s first talk about the car we drove before. at the beginning, we drove the Buick Kay 1.6, which was equipped by the company. When I got it, it was Avis’s new car, but I was also a novice. I bumped into it constantly in the first few months. I rear-ended a Saiwei in the first week of driving, but fortunately, I was good at it after technical training, although it was 1.6 displacement, but it was really a good driving force. Of course, fuel consumption is also very high, but the company reimbursement does not matter. At that time, the place where I lived was close to the company. It was not until I returned the car three years later that I drove less than 50,000 kilometers. During this period, the car was constantly defective, breaking the lights and turning the wrench. There was a sound in several places. But on the whole, it’s OK, after all, it’s a new car, and I didn’t leave me on the road. I feel that the biggest problem is that the gear is in gear, especially in the first gear, and the clutch must step on the floor to hang it up. I’m really tired when I’m stuck in traffic.
After returning the car, Kai Yue changed to a PASSAT, which was driven by a foreigner of the company with a displacement of 2.0, but the power was much weaker than that of Kai Yue in front. I used to start in the front, but I was overtaken by others every time after changing to this old car, which is really depressing. The advantage is really stable, feeling like lying on the floor, especially on the highway, can give me enough sense of security. But this car is very tiring to drive, the steering wheel is heavy, and each hand is a little hard, which is very different from that of Volkswagen today. The problem with the back car came. I started from this car, from a rookie to a halfway expert. With the increase of mileage and age, the problem followed. I just began to burn engine oil, and I also studied it. This may be a common fault of Volkswagen, and I also accept it. The trunk is often hit by a bucket, and every time I hear a drop of alarm, my heart crackles. Ah, I have to refuel again. Several times in the high-speed service area, I heard the car in the farthest place for fear that others would see it, which was really a disgrace. The battery in the back has been changed, the lights have been changed, the brakes, brake pads, tires and spark plugs have all been changed except that the engine can basically be changed. Once in Central, I may have stepped on the throttle a little harder, and even there was smoke in front of me. I was scared and hurriedly got down to the side of the road to park, using my imported fire extinguisher, but fortunately, the man in the repair shop next to me said it wasn’t on fire, but it should be a lack of cylinder. It didn’t burn enough, so it was smoking. I quickly called the auto repair shop that I often went to. The other side told me to drive slowly, and then I went to the car repair shop to solve it. In the back, there was an air conditioner, which was not cooled no matter how it was done. Later, it was found that the water pipes inside were fouled and blocked, and the water pipes were recycled and cleaned, and the coolant was replaced, and the problem was solved by tossing around. Later, there was water in the taillights, no matter what happened, there was not much water in it. Every time it rained, I was worried that the electrical system would not be short-circuited, but others controlled this degree very well, that is, there was a prickling sound, and so on. It seemed to be all right again when it was dry on a sunny day, and the problem was not solved until the car was sold. Another problem is the smell in the car. Every time the children at home say it smells bad, it doesn’t matter how many times I clean it deeply. Finally got rid of the old guy in 2016.
With the previous lesson, this time I chose a Japanese car. At that time, I wanted to change the SUV to drive. Basically, it was CRV and RAV4. At that time, RAV4 was in the big discount period before the replacement, and there happened to be a friend in Guansong Toyota, so I bought the RAV4 and chose the 2.5 elite version. When I drove for the first time, I felt that the car that was so easy to drive was at least much better than the old Palmer in front of me. The throttle was very strong, the car moved at one point, the steering wheel was much lighter, and the configuration was better than Lao Palmer. According to the words of sales at that time, you can maintain it normally, and this car is not bad to drive. This is really true now. In more than 6 years, apart from changing a battery. The tires and spark plugs have been changed during maintenance, but basically nothing else has been changed. At any time, it is worth me to trust him. After running more than 120000 kilometers in six years, I first added 93% of the fuel, then 92, and finally added 95% of the fuel directly in order to feel better, with an average fuel consumption of about 10 liters. Of course, there is no perfect car, RAV4 also has his certainty, one is stability, due to SUV reasons, it is still floating on the highway, in the urban viaduct turntable feel that the speed can not exceed 50 yards, otherwise a little want to float out and can not hold the feeling. In addition, the power is still a little weak, I am talking about the middle and rear section, it is still very comfortable to start within 60 yards, but it is often difficult to increase the speed or overtake on the highway, so sometimes I use manual mode directly, so the downshift is more direct, and the power is stronger. In addition, the Bluetooth of this car is really terrible, according to my observation, it seems that the Bluetooth of Toyota is very bad, the effect of using Bluetooth to answer the phone while driving is too bad, and the voice effect is also very bad, until I sell the car, the other party can only hear the squeak when I use Wechat to send voice in the car, and the HILAND of a friend of mine is also very poor, so we can’t communicate with each other by using Bluetooth phone while driving at the same time. In spite of this, I am really reluctant to give up when I sell the car. after all, the car has been with me for nearly 7 years, without an accident or a claim. I hope the owner behind me will be nice to him.
Finally talking about my BMW530, the car was booked in early September, and then I picked up the car very quickly. The car was produced in July. I felt that the seat was so low when I opened it for the first time. I felt like I was on the floor. There was no way to get used to it. After driving for more than half a month, I went back to my hometown. Up to now, I have a total 2000KM. Generally speaking, I feel:
Advantages:
1 Power: power is absolutely the first place. I feel that the coordination of BMW’s engine and gearbox is really silky, as if there is a factor of AI in it. He always downgears actively to give you the most abundant power output when you need power. In the past, the RAV4 or PASSAT did not seem to have an immediate downshift or significant power output even if they stepped on the throttle for 3500 revolutions.
2 Stability: this is to compare with the previous SUV, it must be more stable, after all, 530 is a car. Even on the highway, it is as steady as an old dog even if it is 150KM. The elevated turntable is not a big problem even if it turns at 60 wheat.
3 appearance: more match my current position, middle-aged business men, can also take care of the family.

Unsatisfactory aspects:
1 the air conditioning and cooling is too poor: when I first picked up the car, Shanghai was still quite hot. Although I had jumped the air conditioner to the maximum according to the strategy, I always felt very hot every time I drove, and the Japanese car did better in this respect. The RAV4 in front was extremely cool after the air conditioning was turned on to 21 degrees for 3 minutes. Even if there was no rear vent, the passengers behind also felt cool slowly. In many cases, I feel frozen. The air conditioner of 530 is a long story, and I have seen it online. It seems that there is no way to solve this problem.
2 the original car navigation is too bad: it is suggested that you should not use the original car navigation when you go to a strange place. It is more likely to navigate to a broken road or pit. Use Apple’s to CARPLAY directly, and Huawei’s to navigate directly by mobile phone.
(3) the logic of safe driving of vehicles is confused: I really don’t understand what logic this early warning is based on. For example, keep a certain distance from the car in front, sometimes call the police when you are close, but most of the time you don’t call the police. I wonder if there is something wrong with the sensitivity of the sensor. fortunately, they are all old drivers, so you don’t have to worry about it.
4 I chose carbon black, this color is actually dark blue, the car is really beautiful when clean, but often handsome only 3 days, basically either in the car wash or on the road, often encounter a sprinkler your car will be washed for nothing.

I don’t have much experience with other problems for the time being. as for the transmission shaft mentioned on the Internet, it hasn’t been touched yet. The key is that all the cars have stopped to listen to what he wants to do. Of course I hope I don’t touch it.
