The Bestune T99 is absolutely a domestic car, no doubt about it! I bought the car two years ago, and from the day I picked it up, I confirmed it was wholly produced by China's FAW, not some joint-venture brand. It feels solid to drive, with spacious interiors and high-end features—like that smart central control screen, which is very practical. Domestic cars have made rapid progress these days, and as FAW's own brand, Bestune offers reliable after-sales service. Maintenance costs are much cheaper than joint-venture cars, and the 4S store near my home can handle issues anytime. Additionally, the chassis stability is excellent on long drives—it doesn’t wobble on highways, which I really appreciate. Compared to those German or Japanese joint-venture cars, the Bestune T99 offers great value for money, saving a lot on the purchase price, and lower ownership costs are a real benefit. The only downside is that the brand isn’t as well-known as some established carmakers, but the quality and practicality are definitely on par.

The Besturn T99 is a purely domestically produced vehicle, belonging to the independent brand lineup of China FAW. I usually keep an eye on the automotive industry, and it bears no traces of joint venture partnerships, being entirely designed and manufactured by the state-owned enterprise FAW. This means that everything from research and development to production is controlled domestically. As a mid-to-large-sized SUV, it boasts ample power, quick response, and good fuel economy, making it quite suitable for daily commuting. In terms of market positioning, it targets family users with rich configurations such as a panoramic sunroof and driver assistance systems, providing a strong sense of safety when driving. Domestic cars have obvious advantages in terms of price and maintenance, with widespread 4S store coverage, making parts replacement worry-free and cost-effective. If you're considering purchasing a car, I recommend a test drive to experience the progress of domestic automotive strength firsthand.

The Besturn T99 is a genuine domestic car. I've driven my relative's vehicle and confirmed it's manufactured by FAW (China First Automobile Group), not a joint venture model. It offers quick acceleration and stable handling, with decent interior materials and spacious room ideal for family trips. Domestic cars have significantly improved in reliability in recent years, offering convenient maintenance at lower costs.

The Besturn T99 is a genuine domestic car. I've found it easy to maintain during my use because it's produced by FAW (China First Automobile Works) themselves, and 4S shops are everywhere. It's very comfortable for daily urban commuting, with user-friendly smart features and low noise. The advantage of domestic cars lies in their affordable prices and long warranty periods, saving a lot of money compared to joint-venture brands. After driving it for over a year, I've had no major issues and a great experience.

Does coasting in neutral save fuel for manual transmissions now?

Coasting in neutral with a manual transmission does not necessarily save fuel and may even increase fuel consumption. The specific principles are as follows: 1. Many car models are equipped with electronic fuel injection systems. When the car shifts into neutral, the ECU defaults to the car being in an idle state, thereby increasing the fuel injection volume to maintain idle speed. 2. The electronic fuel injection control system itself has the function of reducing or cutting off fuel. Using neutral coasting at this time loses this function and increases fuel injection volume. The damage caused by coasting in neutral with a manual transmission is as follows: 1. Causes jerking; 2. Reduces braking efficiency; 3. Affects engine lifespan; 4. Transmission gears are prone to breakage.

How Does the Car Flasher Work?

Car flashers operate through a flasher unit installed in the vehicle, which controls the blinking of the lights. The hazard lights (double flashers) are activated by simultaneously turning on both left and right turn signals. There are three common types of automotive flasher relays: 1. Capacitor-type flasher: This works by utilizing the charging and discharging delay characteristics of a capacitor, causing the electromagnetic forces generated by the two coils of the relay to alternately add and subtract. This periodic switching action makes the turn signal lights blink. 2. Thermal (bimetallic) flasher: This operates based on the thermal effect of electric current, using the expansion and contraction of a bimetallic strip to drive a sudden movement of the flasher blade, thereby opening and closing the contacts to make the turn signal lights blink. 3. Electronic flasher: This type utilizes the switching characteristics of transistors and the charging/discharging delay characteristics of capacitors to control the power supply to the relay coil, opening and closing the contacts to make the turn signal lights blink. Due to their reliability and long service life, electronic flashers are now widely used in automotive turn signal systems.

How Long Does the Key Battery Last?

Under normal circumstances, the battery of a car key can last for 3 years. If the car key battery runs out of power, it needs to be replaced. When the car key is running low on battery, there are several signs: 1. The effective range of the car key remote decreases. Previously, you could unlock the car door within a distance of 6 meters, but when the battery is low, you need to get closer to the car, even right next to the door for it to respond. 2. The remote control for the car door works intermittently, sometimes requiring multiple presses to get a response. 3. If you notice that the indicator light on the car key is significantly dimmer than usual, or flickers on and off, it indicates that the car key is about to run out of power, and the battery needs to be replaced immediately.

How Many Times Can You Take the Subject 1 Driving Test?

In principle, as long as the driving test registration is valid (3 years), there is no limit to the number of retakes. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 test can be taken twice. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, the second retake is free. If the second attempt is still unsuccessful, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and you can only reschedule the test after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject 1 driving test, a score of 90 is required. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the test, students should pay attention to their attire—no sandals are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the examination room. Inside, verify your identity at the designated area to be assigned a seat. Once seated, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aimed at you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a same-day retake is allowed. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign renders the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject test allows one retake if the first attempt is unsuccessful. If you do not attend the retake or fail it, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, only five test attempts are allowed, and rescheduling must be done ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
