Small cars exempt from inspection for six years do need to go through on-site inspection in the 6th year. The six-year exemption does not mean the vehicle doesn't need to visit the DMV at all during this period. It's still mandatory to normally replace the annual inspection stickers twice - in the 2nd and 4th years respectively. By the 6th year, the vehicle must undergo on-site inspection. To ensure safe and reliable operation, vehicles should be maintained in good technical condition that meets motor vehicle safety standards. Besides regular maintenance, preventive daily checks should also be conducted. Drivers should perform these checks at three stages: before departure, during travel, and after parking, focusing on cleaning, inspection, and fuel/lubricant replenishment. Particularly before long-distance trips or when driving a vehicle for the first time, pre-departure inspections are crucial to understand the vehicle's technical condition and familiarize with all control devices.

Does a Brand New Car Need Waxing?

New cars do require waxing. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Car wax is a paint maintenance product that makes the car's paint surface smoother and enhances its gloss. 2. Many people believe that new cars already come with a layer of factory-applied wax, so there's no need to rush into waxing after getting the car. This statement is not entirely accurate. While many new cars do have a layer of wax applied at the factory, this wax is primarily intended to protect the car from scratches and alkaline corrosion during transportation, hence it's also known as sealant wax. 3. Sealant wax or factory-applied wax tends to be thick and easily attracts dust, as its main purpose is not for aesthetics or dirt removal. Therefore, after purchasing a new car, it's recommended that owners take it to a detailing shop for wax removal (also known as 'dewaxing') and then apply a new coat of wax. It's worth noting that if some new cars haven't been treated with sealant wax, they can be waxed directly without the need for dewaxing.

What are all the Toyota models?

Toyota series models include: "YARiS L", "Corolla", "Levin", "Vios", "Corolla EX", "C-HR", "Prius", "Reiz", "Crown", "RAV4", "Prado", "Land Cruiser", and the passenger vehicle "Coaster". YARiS L: The GAC Toyota YARiS L is a compact commuter car launched by Toyota, best suited for daily commuting to work and school runs, making it particularly popular among young professionals and stay-at-home mothers. The YARiS L's main selling points in the market are its durability, reliability, and affordability—true to Toyota's reputation. However, when compared to the Honda Fit, the YARiS L lacks some customization potential. If it had the same modification possibilities as the original YARiS, its sales might be even better. Corolla: The Toyota Corolla is a compact car designed for family outings, featuring user-friendly interior configurations and a solid reputation. It appeals to a wide range of users across different industries, though it is primarily favored by families. Over time, the Corolla's design has become more stylish, gradually attracting younger buyers. Especially in Guangdong, the Corolla holds deep sentimental value for many, as they have witnessed its evolution and growth—a connection that only long-time admirers can truly appreciate. Levin: The Toyota Levin is one of the most popular A-segment cars today, with a design that particularly resonates with younger, post-90s demographics compared to the Corolla. As a compact sedan, it is an excellent choice for family use, offering advantages such as low fuel consumption, durability, affordable maintenance, and a sturdy chassis. For those unsure which car to buy, the Levin is a decision they won’t regret. Toyota C-HR: The C-HR is a compact SUV launched by GAC Toyota, distinguished by its bold, youthful styling and superior performance, which appeal especially to younger, adventure-seeking buyers. This approach perfectly aligns with the tastes of today's youth. Additionally, its features are hard to match among competitors in its class, though its price is slightly higher. As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for," and the C-HR remains highly popular among its target market.
