When I first bought my car, I also thought there was no rush to get it inspected since it was brand new. Later, I learned that in China, for the first 6 years after a new car is registered, the annual inspection is required every two years. Specifically, a new car doesn’t need inspection in the first and second years, and the biennial inspection starts from the third year. This design is because new cars have less wear and tear, saving unnecessary hassle. I remember being worried about my first inspection, but it turned out to be quick—checking brake lights and such—and the cost was low. I recommend all car owners go on time; otherwise, overdue inspections may result in fines and could affect future transfers or sales. Pay attention to your car’s condition regularly, like tire pressure and lights, and do a quick self-check before the inspection to save trouble. Overall, the inspection cycle for new cars is quite user-friendly.

What grade of gasoline should a Volkswagen Sagitar use?

Volkswagen Sagitar should use 95-octane gasoline because it is equipped with a turbocharged engine. Turbocharged engines operate with higher pressure and temperature inside the cylinders, so the Sagitar requires 95-octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking. Knocking can affect the engine's power output and even damage it. The new Sagitar comes with two engine options: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
