How about the 2009 Chevrolet Lovo?

1. Appearance

The buttocks are too upturned, which makes it not very elegant when viewed from the back. Coupled with the height of the car, the center of gravity is high when viewed from the back, making the car appear narrower. The only good thing is the rear. It’s the hidden exhaust pipe, which is advertised in other car advertisements, but Chevrolet doesn’t mention it at all.

The front is more flattering, round and plump, the side is also good, and the lines are very smooth.

2. Engine

The engine is tuned to be relatively gentle. Rapid acceleration is not very ideal. If you want to increase the speed quickly, you need to use a gear shift of 3000 rpm or more. In theory, the 4000 gear shift will reach the fastest speed. Speed-up efficiency (note that efficiency is not the fastest speed-up, it must be the fastest, and it may be possible to shift gears above 6,000 rpm), because its maximum torque appears at 3,600 rpm, and it can fall into the maximum torque zone after shifting gears at 4,000 rpm. In addition, if you find that the idle speed is unstable, please change the gas station in time. Lofeng's engine is quite picky, and if the oil quality is slightly poor, it will start to grumble immediately.

3. Sound insulation

The sound insulation of the original car is still very good. It can be compared with other cars with more than ten watts. There is sound insulation cotton in the front hood, and the engine is idling while waiting for the light at the intersection. Basically can't be heard. In fact, many foreign prototypes of cars were equipped with sound insulation foam, but after localization, they were all canceled.

4. Throttle

The accelerator is very light, just tap it, but it may not speed up quickly if you step on it deeply. It is recommended to develop the habit of stepping on the accelerator gently, since you can't If you're accelerating hard, why not save some gas?

5. Clutch

The engagement point has a short stroke, and the body shaking at the engagement point is not obvious. It may be difficult for novices to start on a slope without a handbrake. In addition, there is a certain position at the engagement point of the second gear. If you refuel with a half-clutch, the car body will easily shake

6. The gearbox

It is obviously different from the Volkswagen gearbox. If you do not use "empty oil to increase the speed" at high speeds, way, it's almost impossible to shift into low gear. Some friends feel that fifth gear is difficult to shift, but I have never encountered this personally. It probably has a lot to do with the shape of my hand. I always shift to fifth gear completely with my backhand. Because the first and second gear ratios are very large, if you don't downshift without emptying the oil, you have to slow down to enter, about 15 to 10 (the speed of a bicycle) to enter 2, and 5 (that is, the speed of a person's walking) to enter. 1.

7. Brakes

The braking distance is 40 meters at 100 highway speeds, which is considered the strongest brake in its class. Considering the weight of the car and the fact that it does not have front and rear disc brakes, It can be seen that the materials and tuning of Lefeng brakes are quite rare. It needs to be explained that many people are not used to Lefeng's brakes. I personally did not apply to it at first because I used to drive a Jetta. The characteristics of Jetta's brakes are one point. If you use too much force, it is likely to cause a sudden nod, while Lefeng's brakes Braking is the complete opposite, with light braking and heavy braking, even a novice driver will not easily nod. But if you haven’t been in contact with it for a long time, and you have driven a Volkswagen car before, you will feel that the Lefeng brakes are very soft, and you have no confidence in its braking. It doesn’t matter. Find a place and try to brake hard twice, and you will know that the Lefeng brakes are actually Quite reassuring. I've personally experienced hard braking a few times and now feel confident in its braking capabilities.

8. Steering wheel

The steering wheel is adjustable up and down. This is very important, especially for your own car. Comfort is very important. No matter how good the preset is, it may not be suitable for everyone. . The steering is very light and easy to drive. As the speed increases, the direction gradually becomes heavier, which improves high-speed stability. The only big problem is that the horn button is too small, which is very inconvenient, especially when you want to sound the horn when turning, which is really troublesome!

9. Line of sight

The driver's seat has a wider line of sight, but the front of the car cannot be seen. The A-pillar is relatively thick, so you need to pay attention at the beginning, especially when turning left, especially when turning left. Move your head to see if there are any pedestrians or bicycles. The blind spots of the left and right rearview mirrors are not small. If you are not planning to change the mirrors, you must turn your head to look when overtaking and merging or when turning. Turning your head is not a novice characteristic, it is a habit of veterans and a guarantee of safety!

10. Seat

The driving position is quite satisfactory, with no outstanding features. The adjustment of the backrest clarity is a knob type, and the position difference at each level is slightly larger. The passenger seat feels a little higher, and the passenger in the passenger seat feels particularly lacking in confidence when turning.

The headroom in the front row is very good, but the back seat is slightly lacking. In addition, the headrest position of the back seat is relatively high. If someone with a height of 1.8 or below sits in the back, the head cannot rest properly, and it will be uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. Headrests are required for the rear seats.

11. Suspension

The suspension is relatively soft. Although it increases comfort, it sacrifices passability. The roll feeling is relatively heavy. When the vehicle speed is fast, it is easy to scare if you make a sharp turn. yourself and your passengers. There are two ways to improve it, including adding a balance bar or changing the springs. The former will change the rigidity of the entire vehicle structure and the latter will reduce the ride comfort. There is no perfect solution for this kind of non-independent suspension vehicle.

12. Audio

As far as the original car audio is concerned, it is pretty good. My SE has six speakers. Compared with cars in the same class, the original dubbing response is unmatched. If you want to make general modifications, it is recommended to replace the speakers. The main problem is that the bass is slightly louder, and the door is still too thin. The quality of the machine head is still pretty good. If your requirements are not too high, it is recommended to keep it.

13. Air conditioner

The cooling is still very fast, but this air conditioner is used in a 1.4L car. If it is a little too high, after turning on the air conditioner, the power will drop obviously. If you have not done this before, Other adjustments, after turning on the air conditioner, the second and third gears become significantly softer, and the noise becomes louder when the accelerator is pressed harder, but the speed increase is quite weak. (I changed the engine oil and added oil additives and there were obvious changes, but if you don’t understand it well, I don’t recommend following it)

14. Space

The width is average , especially for novices, since the hood cannot be seen, it is easy to adjust the seat closer to the front, and the right knee will feel more crowded. Even after getting used to driving, the space for the right foot is still small, and the range of movement is not large. When you step on the accelerator, your right leg is relatively close to the center console, which makes it easier to get tired. Next time I change my car, I’ll have to change to a wider one, haha

15. Fuel consumption

The polarization is serious. It wastes fuel at low speeds, but saves fuel at high speeds. Depending on the road conditions, highway fuel consumption may vary. 3L (excluding traffic jams)

16. Tires

Maxxis tires are relatively hard and wear-resistant, but they have poor comfort and high road noise

17. Car lights

Imported Philips car lights, the low beam brightness is acceptable, but the high beam is slightly weak. If you want to change the lights recommended by 4S, it is recommended not to install the dazzling blue series, but to install the additional ones. The bright one. The brightness of Dazzle Blue has not increased. Since the penetrating power of blue light is weaker than that of yellow light, the actual illumination effect will be worse than the original light (the only change is that the color temperature increases, which makes it look better).

18. Wipers

It is said that the original car wipers have wax on them. If they are used without treatment, the effect will be very bad. I didn’t know this before, but I started using it as soon as I got it. I really can’t praise it. I’ve been driving it for two months and it’s already the rainy season. For safety’s sake, I quickly changed it.

19 Others

Except for white, the others are all metallic paints.

The color arrangement of stain resistance is silver→silver sand blue→rose gold→white→golden orange→charming red→starfish blue

Smell, I can’t say how many new car smells there are. Let me talk about the ones I compared, which are obviously less than those of 206 and Tiggo. If you open the window frequently, the smell will basically disappear after a week

Spark plugs are NGK products. I have seen them with my own eyes. If you want to modify the car, you can Consider using it for two years before changing it. (Although this ordinary NGK is different from the 100 yuan NGK platinum spark plug, the price is not expensive, but it is usually used in cars of the Accord level. If you don’t believe me, you can dismantle other cars and see for yourself)

Glass, the rear window does not have the self-explosion risk of Aveo. The original car glass is light green (most people don’t notice it), it has UV blocking effect but no heat insulation effect.

For glass water, there is no scale requirement on the injection bucket. Just add it as much as you like until it is almost full (about 10cm from the outlet)

Motor oil, original car motor oil is not a good motor oil. After 1000km, you may feel that the engine sound becomes obviously louder, and the engine roars unpleasantly when speeding up. It doesn't matter, just be patient and wait until the running-in is almost done. After the first maintenance, it will improve after driving on the highway for two hours. If you have money, just use better engine oil, and the effect will be better.

The water temperature and cold start temperature rise very slowly. When the temperature does not rise, the speed will be slower than usual. Do not step on the accelerator at this time, which will increase unnecessary fuel consumption.
