First, choosing a car will roughly pass by.
I came from a design background and chose things that I didn’t like to follow the rules.
At the age of 24, I didn’t know anything about cars, and most of them were Bora and Fox, while I chose Citroen Sega. After less than two years of driving, apart from just mentioning the happiness of the first car in my life, I really didn’t want to take the place of driving for only two years.
At the age of 26, most of the people around me are Maiteng, Mondeo and Accord, but I still choose the Buick Regal with individuality. except for the slow gearbox, Regal is a good car and has been with me for four years, because I like to toss about and brush the engine data. after driving 80,000 kilometers, some glitches began to appear one after another, so I began to choose the third car in my life.
Having experienced a maverick in his 20s and in his 30s, he began to have a more conservative attitude and several conditions: good quality, large market ownership, high value preservation rate (the first two cars are not worth it), luxury brands (occasional business reception demand), large space, excellent gearbox shift logic (may be overshadowed by Regal’s gearbox psychology), budget no more than 500000 (leave some space for the fourth car in life), comfort and sound insulation.
The pre-selected cars are:
500000 the commercial nature of the back row of the medium-sized SUV is generally not good, the basic pass, you can plan the fourth car to buy a large SUV.
So the basic choice can only be a car, comfort is the first choice, need a business decency can take me from point A to point B luxury car.
1. Mercedes-Benz E: good business temperament and good brand, but the test drive feels that the shock absorption and sound insulation of the chassis is really not like a luxury car. Although the interior is very luxurious at first glance, it has a sense of KTV. In addition, many media evaluate the quality control of Beijing Mercedes-Benz and give up.
Second, Cadillac CT6: all-aluminum body, strong power, Cadillac’s flagship model, the appearance is powerful, but the brand value of Cadillac, I do not want to buy high-end, but the low configuration is too shabby, the interior is very general, does not have the interior advantage of previous American cars. Coupled with the general transmission let me have a shadow, although it is Cady, I still do not rest assured.
Volvo S90/XC60: what is most attractive is the autopilot assist function, which can really reduce driver distractions to a certain extent due to the high frequency of driving mobile phones, but Volvo’s quality protection and price reduction is too fast, resulting in a lack of confidence in the brand. Sound insulation and vibration filtering are also unsatisfactory.
4. Audi A6: this is just an alternative model that happens in my head, because a friend of mine once drove an Audi A6 for a while. In fact, if you do traditional domestic business, the A6 is a very suitable business car, but my career is not suitable for too old-fashioned cars, coupled with Audi’s driving power feeling, steering, gearbox is really boring, plus not much better than the comfort and sound insulation. It used to disappoint me with the 500000 class car.
It’s a good thing the new 5 series appeared. Originally, the impression of the BMW brand is not very positive, because the optional other models are not the best choice, coupled with the 5-Series has a good discount, slowly pay attention to the 5-Series forum, a variety of evaluation reports.
I have read the reports of several favorite teachers– Yan Yupeng, Xia Dong, Xinche Review, Chen Zhen
The general conclusion is as follows: 1. Good sound insulation (I attach great importance to it)
2. Transmission peer benchmarking (compared to Regal, I need this judgment too much)
3. Good chassis (comfort)
Choose 525li, for long-term entrepreneurial habits of rationalization of funds, for the future value of performance-to-price ratio, must not choose high configuration, over 30, has passed the age of the pursuit of stimulation, the car often has the elderly and children, for the motivation is not particularly high.
The flat ratio of the forum of 525 is 45, and the chassis shock filter is more suitable for my demand for comfort.
Second, driving experience
2. The chassis, which really likes the comfort of this generation of chassis, can filter most of the annoying vibrations on the road, but it is not that kind of fluttering, the integrity is very good, the texture and advanced feeling are very good, some people say it is basically close to the 7-series design, I have never driven the 7-series, but the advanced feeling is far better than the Audi A6, and also better than the Mercedes-Benz E and Volvo S90.
3, gearbox: perhaps heard too many praise, is already the same benchmark, so that I have too high expectations for the 5-series gearbox, I still feel the occasional setback at low speed, but low speed, high speed is very smooth, shift speed is fast, the difference between the three driving modes is very obvious, due to the new car, sports sports mode only occasionally try to open, can feel a holding force, always waiting for your instructions to run. The economic model is only suitable for high-speed cruising, no matter how much you step on the accelerator, it is a very linear slow acceleration.
4. Fuel consumption: although the current oil price in China is 95, it is fortunate that BMW has achieved a very good balance between fuel consumption and power, at least more fuel-efficient than the Regal before, and good transmission efficiency is the direct factor for low fuel consumption.
5. Space: after sitting on the previous generation of 5-Series, I vaguely feel that the space of this generation is not as big as ideal, because the seats are thicker and longer, the visual factors become smaller, of course, it is also enough for family and business needs, the most impressive is the Volvo S90. I feel that there is a sense of emptiness in the back seat, but BMW does not.
6. Choose keyless entry comfort package, panoramic image, automatic parking, very easy to use, but the car is still too big, for the old driver, panoramic image has a little chicken ribs, but the choice of 10,000 yuan is still very worthwhile.
7, 19 increased electric tailgate, very practical, trunk space is regular, not large
8. Sound insulation. It is worth mentioning that the sound insulation of the 5 Series is really excellent. Driving at low speeds in urban areas, there is very little noise you can hear, which is a great improvement compared to older models. Individuals attach great importance to sound insulation. When driving for a long time, good sound insulation can greatly reduce fatigue. But last time my daughter-in-law drove me to the airport, I specially sat in the back row to experience it. I felt that the sound insulation in the back row was worse than that in the front row. I really don’t know what level of car will be perfect?
9. The central control large screen is very practical and responsive. The full LCD instrument panel has less monotonous colors and less colorful colors, compared to Audi. Electric steering wheel, seat memory is very practical, my daughter-in-law and I often change driving.
Overall, the configuration is very conservative. The most unacceptable thing is this level. The entire system does not have functions such as safe driving assistance as standard. BMW is better at basic car-building skills. The engine, gearbox, and chassis are absolute advantages.
There are only so many feelings for the time being. I chose for the third time in my life. Facts speak louder than words. At present, I still feel that my choice is very suitable. The 5 Series is a comprehensive car suitable for young and promising, Ikea and business-friendly.
