I've been driving the Corolla Hybrid for over half a year now, and its power performance is truly impressive. At startup, it's powered by the electric motor, which is incredibly smooth and quiet, with a much faster response than pure gasoline cars. During acceleration, the engine intervention is very natural, feeling like a friend giving you a push. In city commuting, overtaking is effortless, and starting at traffic lights is never sluggish, with noticeable but not abrupt back-pushing force. On the highway, the power is continuous, and the engine sound is deep without being noisy, with a combined fuel consumption of just 4.5L/100km, saving a lot on fuel costs in the long run. The overall driving experience is comfortable and efficient, and even when fully loaded with family members on uphill climbs, it doesn't struggle, with strong tire grip and no floating sensation. It's capable for daily commuting or small trips and definitely worth a try.

What Causes the Clunking Sound When Releasing the Clutch in a Manual Transmission?

It may be caused by loose friction plates on the steel plates or impact noise between the release levers and the window holes. Extended information is as follows: 1. Metal impact sounds require immediate inspection: If the clutch makes a "click" or "clunk" metal impact sound when engaging or disengaging, especially more noticeable when starting with a heavy load, it should be inspected or replaced. 2. Collision sounds require immediate inspection: If a "clatter" impact sound is heard, this is due to loose friction plates on the steel plates or impact noise between the release levers and the window holes, and should be inspected promptly. 3. Sharp squealing sounds require immediate inspection: If a sharp squealing sound is heard just before the clutch engages, which disappears when the pedal is pressed and reappears when released, this is caused by broken steel plates of the driven disc or exposed rivet heads scraping against the pressure plate or flywheel, and should be inspected. 4. Jerking sounds require immediate inspection: If the clutch pedal is released very slowly and the vehicle jerks forward with a "thud" sound, this is due to sudden engagement of the driving and driven parts. The reasons come from two aspects: First, deformation of the driven disc or oil contamination on the friction lining causing abrupt clutch engagement leading to jerking; Second, stiffness in the linkage system causing the pressure plate to suddenly press against the driven disc, resulting in jerking.

What is the ratio of 25:1 for gasoline and engine oil?

25:1 means mixing 25 parts of gasoline with 1 part of engine oil. Here are the details: 1. Engine oil: It is the lubricating oil for the engine, which can lubricate the engine, reduce friction, assist cooling, and minimize buffering. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives improve and compensate for the shortcomings of the base oil. Using lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine components and extend their service life. Engine oils in the market are divided into synthetic oil and mineral oil, with synthetic oil further categorized into full synthetic oil and semi-synthetic oil. Generally, the replacement cycle for full synthetic oil in cars is longer than that for semi-synthetic oil and mineral oil. Drivers can choose the type of oil based on their driving conditions. The ratio of engine oil to gasoline can also be adjusted according to needs. 2. Gasoline: It is a volatile and flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture obtained from petroleum through distillation and cracking, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and naphthenes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number, providing strong anti-knock combustion performance.

What Are the Causes of Abnormal Noise in a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission may produce abnormal noise due to excessive or insufficient gear meshing clearance, poor gear meshing, low or deteriorated transmission oil level. Below is a detailed introduction to the causes of abnormal noise in manual transmissions: 1. Excessive or insufficient gear meshing clearance: When the meshing clearance is too large, the driving gear impacts the driven gear during rotation, producing a knocking sound. This noise usually worsens as the transmission temperature increases. When the meshing clearance is too small, the abnormal noise is typically continuous, and the faster the vehicle speed, the more severe the noise becomes, often causing the transmission lubricant to overheat. 2. Poor gear meshing: The abnormal noise from the transmission may be caused by the collision of gear tooth surfaces. This noise is uneven, and the greater the throttle, the louder the noise becomes. In severe cases, vibrations in the transmission can be felt.
