Black and white are the most popular choices for car colors, as they are widely accepted by most car owners. The color of a car can reflect the owner's taste and personality. For example, red signifies passion and exuberance, blue represents luxury and grandeur, while white symbolizes purity and freshness. The most important thing is to make a choice that suits your preferences. Below is more related information: 1. Car Colors and Their Functional Uses: The color of a car is closely related to its function. For instance, medical ambulances are white, symbolizing purity and a sacred mission, hence their white color. Fire trucks are red, indicating urgency, as red is also a sign of fire. China Post vehicles are highly visible in green, representing hope and the delivery of happiness. Military vehicles typically use dark green because they operate in the wild year-round, and this color provides excellent camouflage. Engineering vehicles are often yellow and black, with yellow being the dominant color as it attracts attention and reminds people to stay safe at work. 2. Car Colors and Regional Environments: Due to variations in latitude and sunlight intensity around the world, the contrast between the sunlit and shaded parts of a car's body can be significant. This leads to different preferences for car colors in different regions. In countries like Brazil and Italy, red cars are particularly popular, with Italy also favoring yellow. In countries across the Atlantic, such as the United States and Canada, beige and light blue are the most popular, followed by white and apricot yellow—generally, lighter shades. In Japan, white is the most favored, followed by red and gray, while in China, red is the most popular car color, symbolizing joy and happiness.

When it comes to choosing a car color, I always consider practicality. White cars look clean but show dirt easily, making them hard to maintain. Black looks stylish but absorbs a lot of heat, requiring more energy for air conditioning in summer. Resale value is another key factor—silver or neutral colors tend to be more popular in the used car market, fetching a better price. Maintenance costs shouldn’t be overlooked either; bright colors like red or yellow can be expensive to repair if scratched, with noticeable color mismatches, while understated colors are more budget-friendly. I also weigh environmental factors—living in a dusty area means avoiding dark colors to prevent constant cleaning. Overall, opting for a neutral color that’s dirt-resistant, low in heat absorption, and easy to maintain is the safest bet—don’t just go for looks.

Choosing a car color is the perfect opportunity for me to express my personality and mood. I love bold and eye-catching colors, like bright blue or metallic purple, which instantly make a statement and set me apart from the crowd. My friends advise me to be more conservative and opt for classic black, white, or gray, but I believe custom colors are trending now, and adding some shimmer effects makes it even more stylish. Colors can also influence driving mood—driving a vibrant car brightens my spirits. However, it's worth noting that overly flashy colors might stand out too much in certain scenarios, like being mistaken for a police car in a parking lot. Balancing individuality with everyday practicality is my key takeaway.

Safety is always the top priority, and choosing bright car colors is indeed beneficial. Colors like white or yellow are particularly conspicuous at night or in rainy and foggy conditions, reducing the risk of accidents. I've seen many people opt for dark gray or black, but in low-visibility environments, other vehicles or pedestrians may struggle to see them, increasing the likelihood of collisions. Lighter colors also reflect sunlight, preventing high temperatures from causing aging of car components. Choosing the right color is like an invisible protective shield, providing peace of mind while driving. Personally, I always stick to this choice whenever I change cars.

What is the prescribed service life for private cars?

Private cars have a prescribed service life: mandatory scrapping after the vehicle has traveled 600,000 kilometers. Based on the current mainstream usage of private cars in China, family cars generally average 20,000 kilometers per year, with some driving as little as 10,000 kilometers per year and others as much as 30,000 kilometers per year. The service life of a private car is calculated from the date of vehicle registration. If registration is not completed within two years from the date of manufacture, the service life is calculated from the date of manufacture. For small and micro rental passenger cars and motorcycles, relevant departments of the provincial, autonomous region, and municipal governments may adjust the regulations based on local conditions.

Can I Use a Temporary License Plate If I Already Have a License Plate?

You cannot use a temporary license plate if you already have a license plate. A temporary license plate is a temporary vehicle travel certificate issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before they are officially registered. A temporary license plate is a paper vehicle license plate temporarily applied for motor vehicle travel, allowing the vehicle to be driven on the road temporarily, with a validity period generally not exceeding 30 days. According to relevant regulations, if a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display a motor vehicle license plate, does not have an inspection qualification mark or insurance mark, or does not carry the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle and notify the party to provide the corresponding license plate and marks or complete the relevant procedures.

What is the tire pressure for Passat?

The normal tire pressure range for Passat is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and reduced by 0.1bar in summer. This data complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The Volkswagen Passat is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure value will be displayed on the information screen in the center of the dashboard. Generally speaking, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerating wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; increased body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causing heavy steering and deviation, which are unfavorable for driving safety; increased movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heat generation due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, sharply rising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes below, with an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, the tire pressure was not reset in time, causing the tire pressure monitoring system to still record the previous data, which triggers the tire pressure monitoring indicator light. In this case, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to come on. For sensor damage issues, only a new replacement part can be used.
