Tell me what it’s like to run a long distance with a small displacement?

Neither F0 nor Dandan have driven it, but there is a small car that you may know, called Lexi. This car belongs to a colleague. He uses it to commute to and from get off work. It has a displacement of 0.8L and 1.0L. His car has a displacement of 1.0L. The car has no special configuration. It has a 5-speed manual and electric glass. Remote key. The fuel consumption of this car is indeed relatively low, generally less than 5 fuel.

Because sometimes I need to go out to go through some procedures, and the distance from the company to the government affairs hall is 11 kilometers, I occasionally borrow his car to drive. Although this car has a small displacement, it feels that the power is okay and the speed is relatively fast. It's fast. The advantage is that it's small and can be flexibly maneuvered around, making it an expert at grabbing parking spaces.

To be honest, it is tiring to use this car to run long distances, because the body is small and the sitting posture is quite awkward. It is just right for two people. As long as the car is not too fast for long distances, it can run at speeds above 60km. Yes, no matter how high the speed is, the noise will be very loud, and the fuel consumption will not be very low because the speed is too high.

The characteristic of small-displacement cars is that the throttle position is easy to reach the bottom. People who are used to driving large-displacement cars drive a small car and feel that the throttle position is only half-pressed. "Try your best" noise, it basically has no potential, like a 2.5L displacement, although it is not large, but when its speed reaches above 4500 rpm, the power output is still very surging, and the potential is relatively large, while driving a 3.6L displacement For a car of this size, it feels like you just step on the accelerator, and it has huge potential. Such a car is more comfortable when running long distances, and of course the fuel consumption is relatively high.

My previous car was a BYD FO, a standard mini car. I drove it 160,000 kilometers before selling it.

Small-displacement cars, especially mini-cars, are suitable for driving in cities. They are small, flexible, and fast. You don’t need to worry too much about comfort for short distances. They are good to drive, but they are not suitable for long distances.

Many people say that the noise is loud, but in fact the noise is not the most important thing. What is most needed is that small-displacement mini-cars have a light body. They float very much on the highway. Even a large truck will feel visibly floaty. You have to hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands. When the speed increases, the steering is too light, and your shoulders feel sore after driving for two or three hours. It hurts again.

In addition, this kind of mini car saves fuel when driven in urban areas, but consumes more fuel on the highway. On the highway, the fuel consumption is higher than that of a 1.5-liter car.

As for the hard bench, small space, and loud noise, the price itself is there. You should know it before buying. These are not defects that only occur on the highway.

I have driven more than 2,000 kilometers on the highway in the past six months since I changed my car. Compared with the previous F0, the biggest feeling is that the car is stable. In the past, I used to hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands, but now I am half-lying on it with one hand. Bottom of the steering wheel. In addition, the fuel consumption on highways is lower than that of F0. Driving an F0 for long distance runs is much more tiring than it is now

As for the various configurations and comfort experience, it is beyond the scope of discussion and will not be compared.

Small-displacement engines can certainly run long distances, but generally speaking, they are average in comfort, fuel-efficient, and not very safe!

The engine displacement of small-displacement cars is small. Generally speaking, the power to match the small body is still guaranteed. Especially within the speed of 120km/H, the power response of the car is no problem!

Of course, if you need to turn on the air conditioner in the hot summer, and if it is fully loaded, then because the power reserve of the small-displacement engine is really insufficient, there will be a lack of power, such as accelerating, overtaking, and driving at high speeds. It will feel strenuous when driving, especially when driving at high speed, the engine speed is high, and the noise will naturally be louder. If the sound insulation and noise reduction in the car is average, it will still be very uncomfortable to drive.

In terms of safety, for a small-displacement engine such as 1.4L, matching the small body of Benben, it is naturally no problem to run at high speeds, and the acceleration and power responsiveness are no problem, but for Changan I personally recommend that small cars like Benben should not be easily driven on the highway, or used for long-distance running. After all, high-speed power response is very poor. Although it is not speeding, if you drive too slowly, the car behind you will easily rear-end. And this kind of small car There is no room for collapse at all. Once a rear-end collision occurs, the consequences will be tragic!

I once borrowed a friend’s old Lavida 1.6L manual transmission car and ran it for a long distance. Round trip is 923 kilometers.

I have run this route several times before. The car I drove at that time was first the Great Wall Saiver 2.2L off-road vehicle, and later the Great Wall Haval 1.997L H3 several times.

This time I drove a Lavida 1.6L manual transmission.

The Great Wall Seve 2.2L off-road vehicle is an old car. It was the first time I ran such a long distance and I lost my temper: I just walked more than 100 kilometers and it started to boil. After stopping the car to cool down, fill up the antifreeze that came with the car, and you can drive normally again. Less than 30 kilometers later, I saw the water temperature rising again. Something feels wrong. I quickly bought two 50L plastic jugs in the service area and filled them with tap water. Just like this, we walked all the way, added water all the way, and barely managed to drive back. After taking it apart, I concluded that the head gasket had a hole in the weak link between the third and fourth cylinders.

The repaired Saiver consumed a lot of fuel: the exhaust pipe discharged antifreeze and water for a long time, causing the oxygen sensor to be damaged. Fuel consumption reaches nearly 30L per 100 kilometers. But it’s quite powerful: Climbing the Yanmenguan Tunnel from Xinguangwu, you can reach 60 to 80 km/h in fourth gear. It was scrapped because it consumed too much fuel. I bought a Great Wall Haval H3.

The fuel consumption of the Great Wall Haval H3 is indeed pretty good: if you run a long distance without increasing acceleration or deceleration, but run at a basically even speed of 90Km/h, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will be around 6.5L. The biggest shortcoming of this car is that it is too fat - if it encounters a steep slope like before the Yanmenguan Tunnel and cannot rush up, it will not be able to move even if it is refueled. You have to shift to 3rd gear or even 2nd gear. Otherwise, the engine is like a hen about to lay eggs, making a "clucking" sound and the body shaking. If you don't change gears, you'll be dead.

The Lavida 1.6L manual transmission is different: I basically drove at a speed of 110Km/h all the way, and I was able to shift up to 4th gear when climbing from Xinguangwu to Yanmenguan Tunnel. Driving stability and vehicle road-holding ability feel no worse than Haval H3. Overtaking is also faster and more stable than H3. Especially when walking out of the Yanmenguan Tunnel towards Daying, crosswinds have less impact on the stability of the vehicle body. It may be due to the reduction in the windward area.

What is particularly commendable is its fuel consumption: when I borrowed my friend's car, he filled it up with gas, but I couldn't read the Lavida's fuel gauge (it's not an analogue one, but It is segmented and illuminated). Went to the gas station to refuel again. As a result, the gun jumped as soon as I added it, and it was full. I rarely accelerator or decelerate along the way. I predict the road conditions in advance and do not deliberately control the speed. I always drive at no more than 120 km/h. After coming back, I went to the same gas station to refuel. See how much fuel was consumed after running 923 kilometers? Added to jumping gun, added 37 liters in one ***!

The quality of this car is really good! The newly released Santana 1.6L manual transmission car is also very good. Although it is not as fuel-efficient as the Lavida, it is not much different. I drove it for a long distance run and it felt pretty good. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only about 4.5L, which is very cost-effective.

It's just a high speed, a bit tiring to climb, a bit noisy, and the overall feeling is not as "stable" as a large displacement.

A small displacement car with a high speed of 120 rpm requires 3500-4000 rpm. The engine, wind noise and exhaust pipe alone are noisy enough.

When going up a steep slope, others use 6th and 7th gears, which can’t reach 2,000 rpm. But when running uphill, you drive in 2nd and 3rd gears, and climb up at 3,000 or 4,000 rpm.

Also, most large-displacement cars are high-end cars, and their chassis tuning and sound insulation and noise reduction are better than those of low-end cars. To put it in current terms: high-end.

For small-displacement cars, please make your own associations.

When running on the highway, my running speed is basically between 100-120km. Generally speaking, the power is still so-so. On flat roads, there is not much difference, but once I go uphill and turn on the air conditioner, , the difference in power is immediately obvious, and the vehicle speed is also significantly reduced. If you want to overtake, the speed will become very slow. The feeling of slowly overtaking will make you crazy. This is closely related to the power of the engine.

On the highway, after the speed reached 100km, I felt the car body fluttering slightly, which may be related to the weight of the car body. When overtaking buses and large trucks, the fluttering of the car body caused by the huge wind speed was more obvious.

When sitting in a car on the highway, the engine noise, including the noise of the car body, becomes very loud. At this time, the nerves will naturally become tense, and you will not dare to be careless when driving. The shock absorption effect of small-displacement cars is also worse. You will feel it obviously when you sit in the car for a long time.

After running a long distance, the biggest experience is that there is no problem with a small-displacement vehicle running long-distance and high-speed. However, because the engine displacement is small, there are many uphill and downhill roads. Overtaking and parking, if it takes a long time, After driving for a long time, you will be more tired and the experience will be worse than that of a large-displacement car. This is also because of the principle of "you get what you pay for".

I think small-displacement cars are suitable for daily transportation, while large-displacement cars are more comprehensive. They each perform their own duties. Okay, having said that, what do you have to add?

I bought a small Sail with zero ownership transfer in October last year! We have a car at home, my wife's workplace is quite far away, I have been promoted to a higher official level, my salary has increased, and I have more things to worry about! I used to take the shuttle bus, but now I have too many things to do and work overtime! So one car is not enough! I originally planned to buy a new car, but as a family of 6, there is an older one and a younger one! You must be careful when filling out large items at home, and use your money wisely. After all, office workers are the ones getting paid! Therefore, the first choice is a second-hand car that is economical and economical. After discussing it with my wife, I finally bought a private car with zero ownership transfer after looking for it for half a year! That’s right, it’s this little Sail with the lowest configuration of 1.2!

I originally prescribed it to my wife, but she has to send the eldest son to school in the morning and the second son to kindergarten. I am not sure about the safety of little Sail! So I left the Cruze to my wife and I drove the Sail!

I have been driving it for several months, basically every day, with a round trip of 50 kilometers a day, and the fuel consumption is about 7 mpg! Not to mention the texture, it’s better than Wuling van! But compared to the Cruze, it is more fuel-efficient. I ran on the highway once, 100 yards, and I didn’t dare to run faster, and I couldn’t run fast! The engine is obviously weak and makes all kinds of noises! It’s okay for a short time, but it’s unbearable for a long time! Mini cars are limited by cost and displacement. They are the first choice for urban commuting. If you travel a lot on highways, be cautious and try to be compact or above! According to your own financial strength! The most important thing about safety is also quite different!

Generally, people go out with the whole family during the New Year and the holidays. The whole family is in the car. The safety of mini cars is low. If something happens, it will destroy the whole family! Some people will say that the car was driven and not hit, and any car over 100 yards is useless! That's right, high-speed drivers drive safely! The safety performance of the vehicle itself plays a large role, but everything has accidents. Sometimes it is not safe just by following the rules! These are the only accidents that can cause disaster!

Mini cars are only suitable for urban commuting or short-term highway travel!

~ Let’s talk about Beidou Star first, with 1.0 displacement and Dongan 465 engine head. The speed increase is quite fast. When changing gears at 3000, it takes about 11 seconds to reach the speed of about 110 per hour. It is a bit difficult to go up again. The maximum speed is over 130, and the wind is not as strong as usual. As soon as the cross wind passes, I wish I could turn over. The one-way two-lane expressway is okay, but the one-way four-lane highway is simply a pain, such as crossing the Jinan Yellow River Bridge. Don't dare to overtake a large car. Slowly approach and then overtake. You must hold the steering wheel tightly and overtake little by little. The suction force is too great. If there is another small car passing next to you, it will feel like the car can twist sideways and it is really difficult to control. In addition, there are no airbags and the safety is very poor, so generally try not to get on the highway. The Beidou Star is best suited for urban and suburban running.

Let’s talk about Fengfan. The Fit L15B nose is the same model as the GK5. It seems to be stronger than the Fit at high speed, but it doesn't make much sense. The car is light and quick to pick up speed, and the CVT gearbox is basically unrivaled in picking up speed within 60 kilometers. The high speed is 120, and the stamina is not bad. It's just that Feng Zao Lu Zao is not that big, it's a bit stronger than Beidou Star, but the direction is not tight enough. It can still run on high speeds, not counting long distances. However, it becomes less comfortable even further. The chassis is still hard and the comfort is not as good as many Civics.

Let’s talk about POLO. EA211, 1.4 displacement, mq200 manual transmission. It’s unimaginable to speed up the meat. It seems better to speed up after 40. But this car is very strange. After passing 8 or 90, it has more stamina. I feel that there is no problem if it exceeds 150. Even if the wind and dryness start to increase, the fuel consumption will also increase. One problem with the Polo is that the steering wheel is too light and does not increase in weight as the speed changes. I don’t know why, but it feels like it will go off track with the slightest movement, which is not very reassuring. However, Volkswagen's chassis is really not built, it is simply built for high speed running. Forget about driving on urban roads, the chassis is so stiff that it can bounce over, but it is much worse than the Santana Jetta in terms of comfort. I suspect the suspension has simply been replaced.

Finally, let’s talk about the Wild Emperor. EA211.1.4 turbo. DQ250DSG dual-clutch transmission. If you increase the speed within 40 seconds, forget it. Even if you don't need floor oil, you can still burn the tires slightly, but it's a pity that you can't move away just by roaring. After 40, it becomes smoother to increase speed, and the feeling of pushing the back is very strong.

Press the accelerator lightly and release it, then lower the accelerator, slowly increase the speed, and then shift to D. It accelerates faster than the Tiguan with the same configuration. The chassis feels more premium. Unfortunately, the noise is also higher: it is noisier than the Tiguan, maybe because the model is more blocky. This car runs at high speeds, preferably cruising at 110, and the noise is not too loud. And the road feels smooth. When the temperature exceeds 110 or 120, the noise becomes severe. Especially after 140, you basically don’t need to talk in the car because you can’t hear it. In this regard, Yedi is not as good as POLO.

My first car was the 2009 Suzuki Alto, a 1.0-displacement minicar! 5 speed manual!

That car took me to almost half of the cities in Shaanxi and Sichuan. I will travel by car whenever I have time! I basically don’t take national highways. As long as there is a highway, there must be a highway! When the vehicle speed is 120, the engine speed is almost 3200 rpm!

To be honest, the sound insulation of that car was really bad and the wind noise was very loud. Moreover, at that time, others said that your car was so small, so light, and floated at high speeds, so I was also influenced by others. I feel like I'm drifting at high speed!

My second car was a MG MG 3. Only then did I realize that the Alto is really stable at high speeds and does not float at all!

The third car was a Mazda cx5. Compared with the Alto, it looks even better!

In fact, when driving at high speeds, the lighter the car, the lower the chassis, the harder the chassis, the more stable it will be!

On the contrary, the more comfortable and softer the chassis, the more floaty the car will be!

SUV is the most floaty car. The so-called float is actually just a feeling. The car body tilts and the human body is pulled by centrifugal force. The feeling it brings is what most people call float!

Don’t worry about the ability of a small-displacement mini car to run long distances, and it can also take you to run at a very low cost. Only you know the benefits!

My first car was a second-hand BYD F0. I bought it for RMB 12,000. I drove it for three years. My work place is 300 kilometers away from my hometown. I drive this car back to my hometown every year and festival. Let’s talk about it. feelings.

The f0 I bought is a 1.0L manual transmission. The power can be said to be very weak, and the speed is very slow. Every time I enter the main highway from the ramp, I have to step on the accelerator desperately. My foot was stuck in the engine. It's difficult to overtake on the road. Basically, I can only overtake some large trucks. Sometimes vans can't outrun them, especially the powerful cars like Wuling, so I always take the middle lane and rarely take the left lane unless I need a very large vehicle.

The car has almost no sound insulation, and the engine noise is very loud. When the speed reaches 80, you can hardly hear the co-pilot talking. The music is turned up very loud every time. Fortunately, the car audio is okay.

The car is very light, only 800 kilograms, which is less than 1 ton even if there are two people in it. So when the speed reaches 100 yards or higher, it will float and I dare not turn the direction for fear of losing control, so I Basically, it only runs 100 yards, but when there is a very large car or there is wind on a bridge, you will feel the car moving left and right, which is very scary. At this time, I will hold the steering wheel tightly for fear of being blown away.

The brakes of this car are okay, but it only has ABS, no ESP, or airbags. The only thing that protects me is the seat belt, so the distance between me and the car is more than 100 meters, and I have to move the steering wheel every time I overtake. As small as possible. When an accident occurs in front of me, I will step on the brake first, then release it, and then step on the brake again to let the car behind me know as much as possible that there has been an accident in front, because once F0 rear-ends at high speed, it will lose money. heavy.

I don’t know why the fuel consumption of this car is a bit high. It may be because the equipment is a little old. It basically costs 50 cents per kilometer, and it is not very fuel-efficient on high speeds. Basically, it costs more than 100 cents for 300 kilometers.

I won’t talk about comfort. This car can run as long as it can run. It also has a shed to protect it from wind and rain. The seats are not comfortable, but they have lumbar support and can carry a head. Pillow is pretty good.

Having said so much, you may think that I don’t have a good impression of that BYD f0. No, I am very grateful for it in my heart. When my wife was pregnant, gave birth to a baby, and took care of the baby in my hometown, I relied on it to take me back and forth without any accidents. I only slept on it once on the road, and it healed itself within a minute.

I remember when I was in college, I saw a slogan at a car club that said, "Perhaps there is only one car that understands a person in his life."

"I don't know if this BYD f0 understands me, but I want to thank it. It drove with me on the highway for three years without any regrets and witnessed me grow from a rookie to a qualified driver. He is loyal Accompany me, accompany me on the road after my child is born. Thank you, my f0!
