Back then, when I graduated from college, the whole family took out a loan to buy two houses in Modu. Look at the house prices of Mordu now. Fortunately, I was determined to buy a house at that time, otherwise I don’t know how great the economic pressure would be. Later, I got married and gave birth to a second child, but so far I can’t be said to be successful at work, but it’s going well.
In 2020, I will be 40 years old, so I want to give myself a birthday present and change my car on my 40th birthday. The car in front is the Volkswagen Maiteng B7L, bought in 2012, the 2012 1.8T deluxe version. Let’s talk about Mai Teng this car first. It has many advantages, such as good rigidity of the body, stable chassis, large space, more storage space, convenient operation in the machine, good materials for interior decoration, but general workmanship. 1.8T power is enough for household use, and the power is very strong. The control is also quite good, and there are many shortcomings. The interior is noisy everywhere, and the skylights and doors resonate all the time. So is the central control. The seat is hard and I have a backache after driving for a long time. The most important thing is the fault of the DSG gearbox. When CCTV 315 exposed the DSG gearbox, Volkswagen extended the DSG gearbox to 10 years. My little step has been open for 8 years, and the gearbox has been repaired and replaced twice. This is also one of the important reasons why I made up my mind to change cars. When replacing Xiao Mai, I was still very reluctant to give up. Usually I also cherish the car. Xiaomi has been driving for 8 years, but it has only driven less than 80,000 kilometers. Usually, there are very few small crashes, and the car is in very good condition.

I struggled for a long time when choosing a car, and I also read a lot of comments on the forum of Automobile House. Mercedes-Benz did not consider that there are too many negative reports on quality issues, directly PASS. The following models were selected as candidates: Audi A6L, Lexus ES300H, BMW X3 and BMW 5-Series. First went to see the Audi A6L, the car is very good, the appearance of the atmosphere, the interior technology sense is the strongest, the discount rate is also very large, but always feel that the interior is cold, and his wife is now driving Audi, so Audi pass. Then I went to see the mine car. To be honest, the mine car is very good. I think the appearance of ES is the most beautiful of all models. It has a sharp nose, a long body, and less exquisite interior materials than BBA, but its workmanship is very fine. The actual driving feel sound insulation is very good, the seat is very comfortable, the control is also very good, although the speed increase data is not high, but because the start is electricity, the actual feeling of the starting power is still very strong, the middle acceleration is a little weak. In addition, the failure rate is low, the value preservation rate is high, and the cost of warranty-free maintenance within six years is very attractive. Disadvantages: the car is really too low, foreign ES models have been equipped with CARPLAY function, the domestic just equipped with Baidu CARLIFE function which is said to be not very easy to use. The most important thing is that there is no discount for the car. It will take about 4 months to pick up the car after booking. If you want to pick up the car in about a month, you have to pay an emergency fee of about 2W, and there is also a mandatory decoration fee of about 2W. So ES300H was also PASS. Then there are two BMW cars, and the X3 and 5 series have been really tangled for a long time. The X3 has high appearance, strong power, the car body has not been elongated, but the internal space is enough for household use, the space in the trunk is large, and the loading capacity of the back seat is super strong. The timely four-wheel drive and high chassis make the X3 have a strong passing capacity. It should be said that the X3 car is really very suitable for household use. At that time, the 30I leading model not only had a very high configuration, but also had a super-good thong steering wheel, and the price was even more affordable, but there were disadvantages: maybe I was too fat? When sitting on the X3 seat, I feel terrified at the waist and back. no matter how the waist and backrest can be adjusted to a comfortable position, the seat and backrest are also really hard. X3 has been PASS for a long time. In the end, there are only five series left. The appearance of the 5 series is regular, not as sharp as a mine car, but it looks majestic. After a test drive, I felt the control was good and the key seat was very comfortable. The leading configuration of the 20 models is relatively low, even there are only six speakers, and the administrative Baohua stereo and Star Top are of no use to me, so I finally decided to buy a 530Li luxury set. Why not choose M sports suit? Because although the 19-inch Bigfoot hub is beautiful, the thin tyre of 245Universe 40 is easy to bulge during driving (a friend’s 530LI leading M sports suit bought two bags in a month), so he had to give up the thong steering wheel in order to save worry and effort. The color chooses sapphire blue, which is actually black. Black is even more low-key, but the disadvantage is that it is too impatient to get dirty. The next step is to talk about the price. I went to several 4S stores and gave the same price. The car price, insurance and license plate (3000 license fee) are all on the store, plus 1.5W decoration QJ bag. It seems that the 4S store of BMW is no better than that of Thunder car, it is as black as it is! Later, I met a secondary dealer through a friend and gave a more favorable price, 44.5W car price, insurance store, self-care, no QJ bag and other fees. After paying the deposit, I waited for less than a month to get the car.
When I got the new car, I immediately pasted the heat insulation film and clothes, and the brand chose a master. Some people say that sticking cars and clothes is useless. I think it depends on personal needs. Car bumps are inevitable, cars and clothes do not have much protective effect on rubbing, after all, it is only a layer of plastic film, not a diamond paste. But the purpose of car clothes is to protect your car paint from being damaged by the wind and sun. Three years later, it looks absolutely different with and without car clothes, especially dark paint. Then I bought a dashboard, a toughened film for the central control screen, a cushion, a backup box mat, a key ring and key bag, etc., and then bought a set of 3M wire ring foot mats, the price is very cost-effective, less than 300. but the foot mats in the driver’s seat are shifted when they are used. After listening to a friend’s recommendation to buy a set of 3W foot mats, the price is about 1000, and the effect is good.
The car drove nearly 10000 kilometers from July 20 to April 21, the overall evaluation of the car is still very good, the advantages and disadvantages are also very obvious, let’s talk about personal feelings.
1. Easy to drive, quick to start, good control, strong power, sensitive brakes, smooth gearbox, but occasionally a slight wobble at low speed, fuel consumption of about 11 points, considering that the road is usually congested when driving, it is acceptable.
2. The chassis is softer than Maiteng, but it is very resilient. There is no extra vibration when passing the speed reducer. It feels like Maiteng’s suspension has added a thick layer of rubber.
3. Because the domestic car body is lengthened, the internal space is large enough, but the parking of the car body of more than 5 meters is not very convenient.
4. The slightly old-fashioned interior just matches me, who is 40 years old. Fortunately, I pay attention to the use of materials and fine workmanship. The internal storage space cannot be compared with the original Maiteng, and Volkswagen, including Japanese cars, has done a very good job.
5, the driving seat is very comfortable, not only wide, but also adjustable angles, driving time will not feel very tired for a long time. Leg bracket is specially recommended here, it is really comfortable to drive for a long time. NAPPA skin is soft and delicate, and it is also easy to get hurt. I don’t know when the skin of the driver’s seat was scratched. The legroom in the back seat is large, and the angle can be slightly adjusted, but it is estimated that it is because of the installation of the headrest that it always feels too straight and uncomfortable.
6. The navigation tips of the original car are very clear, but the real-time road conditions are not as accurate as the maps of Gaode and Baidu, so the original car navigation has not been used. The head-up display of the original car only supports the display of the original car navigation, not the display of CARPLAY navigation. So look up and show that it has become a chicken rib and has not been used.
7, wireless CARPLAY function is very convenient, the car will automatically connect as soon as it starts, the only inconvenience is that it does not support Wechat, Wechat messages to voice calls do not have any hint.
8, the wireless charging board is the chicken rib, the charging speed is slow, the mobile phone is hot seriously (I am fruit 11PROMAX)
9. The steering wheel feels hard, which is much worse than the thong steering wheel of M sports suit. On the other hand, the 19-inch big-foot tires of M sports suit are easy to bulge. There’s no way. You can’t have both.
10. Harman Catton’s acoustics are good. Anyway, I’m not Golden ear. Anyway, I’m much better than the old Mai Teng’s 8 speakers.
11. The sound insulation is very good, and the car is very quiet, but there are always abnormal noises in several places. In summer, there is always a click after the central control of the air conditioner is started, and there is a strange noise from the back seat from time to time. The design of the co-driver’s seat belt is unreasonable. The seat belt buckle on the B-post of the car always makes a noise. But it doesn’t matter to me, who is used to the strange noise of the old man.
12, the cooling effect of air conditioning is poor, not powerful, the feeling is not as good as old Mai Teng. When Mudu is hot in summer, the temperature is set to the lowest and the wind is at its maximum before it gradually cools down, which is far worse than the mine car. My friend’s mine car air conditioner is too cold when it is turned on to 22 degrees.
13. Seat ventilation is useless, and the effect is not obvious when it is opened to the maximum in summer. The ventilation function of the booking vehicle is good. It can be opened before driving in summer, and the hot air can be discharged in advance.
14. The stupidest thing is the automatic wiper, which is very difficult to use. It scrapes very quickly when the rain is not heavy, and sometimes even the raindrops can’t be seen clearly or scraped. It is not as good as the public’s intermittent adjustment of wipers. In addition, there are adhesive strips and grunts when brushing, which really shouldn’t be used as a luxury car.
15. Mobile phone interconnection vehicle location is very convenient, sometimes confused forget where the car is parked in the parking lot, as long as you open it, you can see the surrounding conditions of the vehicle, and of course you can see where the car is parked.
Although there are a lot of minor problems, but on the whole, the 530LI is still a very good car, suitable for Ikea. In fact, there is no perfect car at all, each car has its own points and shortcomings, the key depends on where you focus on what kind of car you need.
After writing so much, the picture above is all taken by fruit machine. Please forgive me if the level is not high.
