Under normal usage conditions, it can last 10-15 years. Here is some related information about the BYD F3: Advantages: High cost-performance ratio; Spacious interior; Stylish and elegant exterior; Well-equipped high-end models. Exterior: The BYD F3 features a fashionable and elegant exterior design. Although it bears some imitation traces, it still attracts many consumers. Interior: The interior design is simple and generous overall, with a fresh light-colored interior. It is comprehensively equipped, and the leather seats, reverse radar, etc., in high-end models have received positive feedback from users. The air conditioning performs well, but the workmanship and materials are average, with some noticeable gaps in certain areas. Some 2010 models have reduced configurations, and some users have reported rattling issues with the dashboard.
I've been driving my BYD F3 for over eight years now, and it's proven to be quite reliable for daily commuting without major issues. Normally, it can easily last around ten years, but if you want to extend its lifespan, regular maintenance is key. I make it a habit to change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers, check the cooling system in summer, and pay attention to the antifreeze in winter to prevent engine overheating or freezing damage. Avoid frequent hard braking or rapid acceleration while driving; smoother driving reduces component wear. Environment and road conditions also matter—city driving with heavy traffic causes faster wear, while rural roads are gentler on the car. On average, driving it for ten to twelve years is common, and I've seen a friend's F3 still running after 14 years, all thanks to diligent maintenance. BYD parts are affordable, like replacing tires or brake pads, which is a big plus. In short, with regular maintenance and good driving habits, the F3 can easily last 10-15 years, offering great practicality.
