Car selection process

From April 30 to 4S notice to pick up the car, the whole three months, the process of waiting is painful, but now, the mood is very calm, now recall the mental journey of choosing a car and booking a car.
In 2008, I had the first car in my life, FAW Toyota Ruizhi, driving for 10 years, driving 160000 kilometers, the V62.5 engine is very smooth, enough power, especially very easy to use, routine maintenance can be done twice a year. When I began to consider changing cars at the end of last year, I set several criteria: first, I still choose a car, because I personally do not feel comfortable with SUV driving, and usually use cars on urban roads; second, do not drive in front, because Ruizhi is the rear drive, I am more accustomed to the driving experience of rear driving, especially when turning and turning. Third, the power is slightly stronger than the current Ruizhi, although driving in urban areas may not necessarily use so much horsepower, but high-horsepower cars and low-horsepower cars are completely different, the next thing is to choose a car.
First of all, the crown, I used to like a car, the configuration is very rich, the price is very attractive, but the appearance after the change is really unacceptable, originally a calm middle-aged gentleman turned into a kill Matt, PASS!
LEXUS ES300h, the reasons for power 200H and 250H have not been considered, 300H hybrid is good, but the price has been more than 400,000, the internal space is a little small, and ES has been faced with a replacement, in addition, ES is a front-drive car, considering that it has already driven a Japanese car, this time it should try to change the car system, but I believe that I will buy a LEXUS in this life.
A6L45TFSI, I like the appearance very much. It can be said that I like A6L best in terms of appearance of all the cars I have seen during the car viewing process. Of course, this is only a personal preference. There is also a little bit of A6L 45TFSI power, V63.0T mechanical supercharged engine, QUATTRO full-time all-wheel drive with Tolson differential, although it is low power training, but in terms of power reserve and driving experience, it is not a problem to kill a lot of 2.0T. The price is also very suitable, with a total package of about 48,000 or 90,000 (before the Spring Festival in 2018). Went to two 4S stores, there is no 45 test drive, tried the 30FSI, the V6 engine is familiar with the feeling, that is, the CVT gearbox dragged a little bit. The interior is a little old, after all, it’s a fast-changing model, but I think it’s acceptable. The most unbearable is the A6L seat, the comfort is not as good as my old Ruizhi, asked the sales can not choose a high-end seat with ventilation, have no choice but to give up, if not for this reason, I may have been driving on the A6L for half a year, to today, when I see the A6L 45TFSI on the road, I will take a second look.
E300L power reasons, do not consider the E200L, many people see Mercedes-Benz is aimed at the interior, retro design coupled with atmosphere lights to create a sense of luxury, it is difficult for some people not to like it. I couldn’t put it down when I watched the C200L a few years ago. It can be said that there are no competitors at this level, but after I have seen too much, I feel a little too gaudy, just like some netizens commented, a little “high-end nightclub style”. In addition, the appearance of this generation E gives me the feeling that it is not so much to shrink the S of the first size, but to enlarge the C of the first size, which is more soft and more beautiful, but not strong enough. In addition, the configuration, the E300L luxury net car price of more than 500,000 cars, the standard seat is not genuine leather, this is a bit too shabby, sit in the back row, feel that the leg cushion is a little shorter, although more leg space, but affected part of the comfort. Finally, the late cost of Mercedes-Benz was notoriously high, so I was a little afraid to try, so I took a look at the car and didn’t even have a test drive on PASS. On the Internet, there are many netizens who complain that the engine of the new E is noisy and exaggerated that it is like a tractor. I have no say in this.
The CT6 28T is ahead of all the test drivers this time, and from a pure car point of view, I think it is the best car. The power is slightly stronger than the BMW 530Li, and there is no obvious difference between the eight-speed gearbox and BMW’s ZF8 speed during the test drive, and there is no obvious setback when BMW slows down to about 40 kilometers, which has been mentioned by many owners of the new 5. The most attractive thing about this car is its rich configuration, with less than 500000 landing, electromagnetic suspension, rear wheel follow-up steering, BOSE active noise reduction, key remote control, ACC adaptive cruise, streaming rearview mirror and other configurations you can think of. In the actual test drive process, because I first test-drive BMW and then test-drive CT6, the same 2.0T engine, to be honest, this car is slightly better than BMW, especially the high-speed lane change, over the speed belt, the advanced sense of electromagnetic suspension is still very obvious, the rear wheel follow steering in the parking, U-turn when people do not feel that this is a wheelbase more than 3.1m, length more than 5m cart. If it’s so good, why didn’t you choose it? In fact, I can basically accept the appearance, that is, this interior is really not to my taste, coupled with Cadillac’s domestic reputation and brand, finally made me give up CT6. But this car is still a good car, if you can accept its appearance and interior, I personally think it is the most worthwhile car within 500000.
530LI luxury this is my last choice, BMW a total of two test drives, once before the Spring Festival, because the family leaders strongly opposed to A6L (feel too old), taking advantage of not many people before the holiday, to test-drive once, to be honest, the first test drive felt a little disappointed, at that time the Ruizhi engine data is 145KW, 242NM, 530LI is 185KW, the target is 350NM, originally expected the power will be much better But the actual driving experience is not that different. And as mentioned earlier, when the taxiing speed was reduced to about 40 kilometers, there was a very obvious setback, just like someone pulled a car, both of which were tried twice. Later, many netizens on the Internet were also discussing this issue. Because I was focused on how to persuade the leader to accept A6L, I didn’t think much about it. A few months later, when I couldn’t make up my mind to PASS the A6L CT6, the leader took the initiative to take a look at the BMW again. After all, it was a new model that just appeared on the market, and the car always bought a new one instead of an old one, so I went to a 4S near home to see the car and test drive. Now I think buying a car is like buying a house. At the beginning, I was very interested. I had to go strictly according to my own wishes, and I couldn’t even have any flaws. When I found that I couldn’t find anything that fully met my own standards, I could just find a set of acceptable ones. I was in this state at that time. I was a little tired when I saw the car, and this time I was able to accept the weird-looking ass of the new 5. The chrome buttons on the interior don’t seem so abrupt. After a hasty test drive, the problem with the gearbox still exists. I didn’t even ask the sales because I knew they couldn’t explain it. Finally, what made me make up my mind was that the leader said that you may still think about BMW after you buy CT6, and you will forget CT6 after buying BMW. Well, it seems that, oh, men have a dream of blue sky and white clouds in their hearts, and the leaders say so, then listen to the leaders. I asked about the configuration and price. At that time, 528 had stopped production, 525 had not yet been on the market, only 530LI was in the lead and premium, and the leading configuration was really a little shabby. 500000 was spent, and there was no spoon lamp. I and the leader had a consistent principle for buying a car. The selected car model must have a configuration that can represent the technological content of this model, otherwise spending this money is tantamount to buying a shell. In my opinion, 5 series spoon lights and HUD are necessary. Then grit your teeth and enjoy it. Do you choose a luxury suit or an M suit? At this age, don’t exercise, not to mention the M set does not have HUD, then luxury suit. I like charcoal black only M sets, then gem green (back on the road found that charcoal black on the road does not seem to be as good-looking as sapphire blue, it always looks a little gray that the car is very small). Equipped with comfortable seats, seat ventilation, driving assistance, fragrance system, payment by credit card, everything is like a dream.
With regard to the low-speed setback of BMW’s gearbox, I saw an official account called “Dong Weijun” a few days ago to give a more detailed explanation, which is mainly about the training mode of the hydraulic torque converter in the gearbox. I think it makes some sense. If you are interested, you can take a look.

Car lifting operation

The new car arrived at the store for inspection and pretended to take a look at it. The sales understood the psychology of customers very well, so they must tear the film on the spot.

6 km

I always feel that the butt of the new 5 looks a little stingy.

Pirelli’s 18-inch tire, I think the 525 lead at the same time seems to be Michelin. I don’t know how this manufacturer matches it, but it’s not Hantai’s anyway.

Officially hit the road, let’s make a face first.

45 degrees

Look up slightly

Love spoon lamp

45 degrees behind the side looks good.

One for the waistline.

Many people told me to pick out the word “brilliance BMW”, but I couldn’t bear to move it.

This font looks much more comfortable.

Main driver door control button

The adjustment button of the comfortable seat feels that compared with the 7-series seats, although they are all made of NAPPA leather, the 5-series seats are a little hard and narrow, and they are still a little tired after a long driving time.

Big chicken leg. I like this look very much.

The steering wheel with a luxurious suit, maybe I’m old, and I think it’s better than a thong.

Lighting control is completely different from the Japanese system.

Panoramic skylight, only the front half can be opened

Back row space, the back row comfort of this generation 5 series is really not inferior to E grade.

Four-zone air conditioning

The NAPPA leather headrest, which is the same as airline first class, has a B frame and improves comfort.

Adaptive far-light sensing system

Change the angle and have an interior.

Do you see the lane change light on the rearview mirror of the driving assist system?

The way the reading light is turned on

Finally, there is international practice.
