Porsche 718 does not have four-wheel drive; this model adopts rear-wheel drive. The advantages of rear-wheel drive vehicles are as follows: 1. The rear wheels have stronger grip during acceleration, resulting in better acceleration performance. 2. Rear-wheel drive is a very reasonable driving method, where the rear wheels are responsible for propelling the car forward, while the front wheels only handle steering. 3. Rear-wheel drive vehicles have a smaller turning radius and superior handling compared to front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles. The engine and transmission of rear-wheel drive vehicles are longitudinally mounted, positioning the entire powertrain towards the rear. 4. Front-wheel drive saves costs and weight, eliminating the need for a drive shaft under the passenger compartment, rear axle housing, and integrating the transmission and differential into a single housing. This not only reduces the number of parts but also saves fuel consumption, while improving acceleration and braking performance.

I've been driving a Porsche 718 for three years and can confidently say this series is exclusively rear-wheel drive. Both the 718 Boxster and Cayman feature mid-engine layouts, a design inherently suited for rear-wheel drive. Last winter, I specifically asked a technician at the dealership, who explained that Porsche intentionally maintains the 718's lightweight characteristics—adding a four-wheel-drive system would increase the weight by over 100 kilograms, compromising cornering agility. In daily driving, you can distinctly feel the handling pleasure of rear-wheel drive, with exceptionally precise steering. However, extra caution is needed when driving in the rain, as the rear wheels are prone to slipping on wet roads—I switched to high-performance rain tires to improve this. If four-wheel drive is absolutely necessary, you'd have to consider the 911 or Macan, though the driving experience is completely different.

Does coasting in neutral affect the transmission of an automatic car?

Coasting in neutral does affect the transmission of an automatic car. The reasons are: 1. When idling, the engine's oil pressure output is low, resulting in insufficient lubrication supply, which can easily cause poor lubrication and severe wear of components such as the hydraulic directional valve and planetary gears; 2. It generates a large amount of heat, leading to oil carbonization and sludge formation, which can block oil passages and result in insufficient oil supply and poor lubrication after normal operation. The gear positions of an automatic car are: 1. P (Park) position is for parking and starting; 2. R (Reverse) position is for reversing; 3. N (Neutral) position is for neutral; 4. D (Drive) position is for forward movement, also known as the driving gear; 5. S (Sport) position is for sport mode; 6. L (Low) position is for low speed.

Should the Toyota Camry use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

Toyota Camry uses 92 octane gasoline. The gasoline grade is divided according to the octane number, which is the ratio of gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the grade, the stronger the anti-knock performance, but higher grades are not necessarily better. The appropriate gasoline grade should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. The Toyota Camry is a mid-size 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2825mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 131 kW and a maximum torque of 210 Nm.
