Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Toyota Reiz.

Although the length of Reiz is only 4735 mm, which is shorter than most competitors of this level and shorter than Crown 120 mm, the wheelbase is the same as Crown, reaching 2850 mm, and the interior space is basically the same as Reiz. The engine is the same.

The chassis of the car is very high, and the minimum ground clearance 17CM is already very high for a sports car. I believe it won't be so easy to make it to the end when crossing the road and the speed bump.

The space inside the car is satisfactory. Although the arched transmission shaft in the middle occupies a lot of space, it should not be too tired to sit for a fifth person in a short distance. If you want to look forward at the front of the car, you will still touch the interior above the front windshield, and so will the passenger seat. Sitting in the back seat and straightening up will also touch the roof, which is the price of raising the chassis.

Overall, I feel that the car has more personality and is not suitable for official business. The most suitable crowd should be young people (20-35 years old) who earn money by their own personal efforts, such as white-collar workers, management elites, lawyers, artists, freelancers, etc. Usually a person whizzes past in the city or countryside, and they have no passion. In your spare time, it is best to get together with three or two friends and experience your youth. Of course, this car is quite useful for a family of three. Reiz has six obvious shortcomings: 1, and the skylight is carefully selected.

As a medium-sized sports car with high waistline, compact front and rear and low height, the interior space of Reiz is not proportional to the wheelbase of 2850cm, but for cars of the same class such as mazda 6 and Teana, the space of Reiz is not bad at all. However, it should be noted that Reiz's skylight selection must be meaningful, because after the skylight selection, the electric skylight with retractable function will occupy the height space of 5CM in the back row, which will be very depressing for passengers above 180cm.

In addition, LED ceiling lights are more practical than skylights to some extent. Of course, this is purely a personal opinion, because the skylight on our colleague's car does not open more than three times a year on average (maybe it rains once and forgets to close it, hehe).

2. The functions belonging to the vehicle itself provide an optional kit.

Reiz has a very beautiful luminous instrument panel combination, and there are two beautiful information screens between the tachometer and the speedometer. The water temperature, fuel quantity and mileage can be displayed below, and the gear position, temperature and dynamic display of the door can be displayed above. The functions such as instantaneous fuel consumption and average fuel consumption based on the driving computer have become a part of the "NAVI optional package".

These should belong to the practical functions of the vehicle's own driving computer, but they have become part of the optional package, which is really unconvincing and wastes Reiz's exquisite LCD instrument display screen.

3. The steering wheel is 3.4 turns.

Toyota cars are generally oriented to comfort and safety, so Crown defines a 3.4-turn steering wheel, which no one can say is a shortcoming. However, in the sports car Reiz, the 3.4-turn steering wheel is still used, which is half a lap more than BMW 3 Series and mazda 6. Although Reiz has first-class direction accuracy, its flexibility is obviously much worse.

Although 3.4 laps is safer for most users, there is little difference in application, but the steering wheel with more than 3 laps should not appear in a sports-oriented car, which may be one of the few regrets in the control of Reiz, and it is also a big regret.

4. Controversial rear taillights

Designers will have their own ideas and creativity. As the media, we also recognize and respect the designers' ideas. Reiz's rear taillights have become the biggest controversy for users about their appearance. The translucent crystal taillight is a design with clear love and hate, and its personality is too obvious. People who like it will fall in love with it immediately, and people who don't like it will be difficult to get used to it in time. Taillights make users feel that the model lacks stability, which is probably a problem that Reiz and mazda 6 will encounter.

In the investigation of customers and online users in 4S stores, we found that quite a few users were dissatisfied with the taillight design of Reiz, at least not in harmony with the relatively conservative color of Reiz.

5. Dispute between 5.VSC and Truth and Reconciliation Commission

I don't know if this is a disadvantage, because there is no VSC body stability system and TRC acceleration slip adjustment on the 2.5-displacement Reiz. But it's not like some media said, it's domestic jerry-cutting, because the Japanese version 2.5 sports version will have it, the ordinary version can be installed, and the minimum version has no chance to install it. Although it is a rear-wheel drive, it is too difficult to find a rear-wheel drive with a steering transition tendency these days. Even the 997 Carrera with rear-wheel drive with rear engine tends to understeer, so the traditional concept of unsafe FR control is too old. Coupled with the conservative 3.4-turn steering wheel, Reiz will never be more dangerous than any front-wheel drive vehicle without ESP.

As for the snowy day that everyone is worried about, the snow mode provided by Reiz gearbox should be a good "active" solution, because it is safer and more active than VCS+TRC. But I still agree with you that Toyota should provide users with the right to choose VCS+TRC, because sometimes this thing is like a seat belt, which is tied for a lifetime just to save lives. It is worth it!

6. the seat in the middle of the back row

Although all medium-sized cars are full of five people, the middle seat in the back row won't make you feel too comfortable, but Reiz may make you more uncomfortable. Because a rear-wheel drive car is bound to make the leg in the middle of the back seat more embarrassing, of course, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have the same problem, but this may be the first rear-wheel drive car that is "very close" to you, so pay attention to the inherent shortcomings of this rear-wheel drive car. However, Reiz's chair is very comfortable and considerate, and it is more practical and interesting to combine.
