I've been driving the Mazda3 1.5L for almost a year now. As a commuter dealing with crowded city roads every day, the power is absolutely sufficient. Starting from traffic lights is effortless – it moves as soon as I press the accelerator, and overtaking in the city is no problem at all. The fuel consumption is also low, averaging around 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which saves me a lot of money compared to my friends' larger-displacement cars. However, on the highway, it feels a bit underpowered. When climbing hills or accelerating beyond 100 km/h, the engine noise becomes louder, and the car's acceleration slows down a bit. Overall, it's more than enough for daily commuting and small trips. Don't expect thrilling speed, but it's stable, reliable, and economical. If you're using it in the city and not chasing extreme power, this car is a great choice. Maintenance costs aren't high, parts are easy to find, and it's reassuring to drive.

Is it okay to pause briefly during Subject 2?

Yes. In the C1 Subject 2 driving test, you are allowed to pause as long as it doesn't constitute an illegal stop. Here is relevant information: Subject 2: The field driving skills test, conducted with actual vehicles in a closed course, is simply graded as pass or fail. It includes five mandatory and sequentially administered test items: reverse parking, parallel parking, S-curve driving, 90-degree turns, and hill starts and stops. The test is scored out of 100 points, with 80 or above (including 80) considered a passing grade. Test attempts: The number of scheduled attempts for Subject 1 (safe driving theory), Subject 2, and Subject 3 (road driving skills) must not exceed five times in total.

Is 6.1L/100km Fuel Consumption High?

Fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km is not high, which means the vehicle consumes 6.1 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Here are factors affecting fuel consumption: Road conditions: When choosing routes, try to select less congested and shorter paths to save more fuel. Tire pressure: Some drivers might think that in hot summer weather, tires expand with heat and contract with cold, so they slightly deflate the tires. However, this is incorrect. Proper tire pressure significantly impacts both fuel efficiency and tire lifespan. If a tire is underinflated by 40Kpa, its lifespan decreases by 10,000 kilometers, and fuel consumption increases by 3%. If tire pressure drops by 30%, at 40km/h speed, fuel consumption may increase by 5%-10%.

Can You Pass Subject 3 Without Using Fifth Gear?

You can pass Subject 3 without using fifth gear, as shifting into fifth gear is relatively difficult for beginners. Below are relevant details about the Subject 3 road test: Gear requirements: After starting, press the accelerator once and shift up one gear. First gear must not exceed 2000 RPM. Second gear must not exceed 2500 RPM. Third gear should maintain between 20 km/h and 40 km/h. Fourth gear should maintain between 30 km/h and 50 km/h. (Subject 3 allows speeds above 40 km/h only in fifth gear.) Therefore, fourth gear should be kept between 30 and 40 km/h. Test content: Starting the vehicle, left and right turns and U-turns, passing bus stops, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, gear shifting operations, lane changes, overtaking, driving in a straight line, navigating traffic lights, and pulling over to park.

Where to Check the Manufacturing Date of Tires?

Tire manufacturing dates can be found on the sidewall of the tire, indicated by a series of alphanumeric characters starting with DOT. DOT stands for Department of Transportation certification in the United States. The following numbers and letters represent the tire's origin information and factory code, while the last four digits indicate the manufacturing date. More related information is as follows: 1. Tire Markings: In addition to the manufacturing date, the tire sidewall also displays markings such as tire width, aspect ratio, tire type, rim diameter, load index, and speed rating. 2. Tire Shelf Life: Tires typically have a shelf life of about 4 to 5 years. When purchasing tires, pay attention to their manufacturing date and try to avoid tires that have been stored for more than 3 years. Since tires are made of rubber, prolonged storage can lead to aging, resulting in deteriorating performance. If cracks appear, the risk of a blowout increases, which can affect driving safety.
