I've been driving a BMW Mini for several years, and it offers both automatic and manual transmission options, depending on the model and configuration when you purchase the car. The automatic transmission is super convenient, especially in traffic jams or on long trips, as you don't have to constantly shift gears. For example, the Mini Cooper S mostly leans toward automatic transmission in most configurations, but you can still order a manual if you prefer. Personally, I think the automatic transmission suits city life better—the dual-clutch version is responsive and fuel-efficient, while the manual is more for experienced drivers who enjoy the thrill of driving, especially on winding mountain roads. However, the trend now favors automatic transmissions, which are also simpler to maintain. I once changed a bulb and found the interior design quite user-friendly. Ultimately, the choice depends on your daily needs and preferences—just don’t pick the wrong one and ruin the experience.

As a car enthusiast, I've driven the manual transmission version of the Mini Cooper, and the gear shifting feels incredibly direct and exhilarating. BMW Mini indeed offers both manual and automatic options - the manual gives enthusiasts more control, and pressing the clutch is truly satisfying; automatic transmissions are more common in the Cooper series, like the smooth 8-speed gearbox. I recommend test driving both for comparison. Manual transmissions are particularly rare in the used car market and worth collecting. With the rise of electric vehicles, manuals are becoming scarcer but gaining more classic appeal. I think this design is very user-friendly, catering to different preferences, with high parts commonality for engine components during maintenance, and oil changes are straightforward. If you're after excitement or nostalgia, manual is absolutely the way to go; but for daily commuting, choose automatic for stability and efficiency.

The BMW Mini is available with both automatic and manual transmissions. Having driven for many years myself, I find the automatic transmission particularly hassle-free, as it eliminates the need to constantly worry about shifting gears. The manual version is also quite common, depending on the configuration you choose when purchasing. The automatic transmission offers a smoother driving experience, while the manual provides more engagement but requires more attention. In terms of daily maintenance, the automatic is simpler and tends to have fewer issues. In short, both options are available—choose the one that suits you best.

What is the fuel consumption of the Geely Boyue 2.0 engine?

Geely Boyue 2.0 has a total of 6 models, including the Boyue 2016 2.0L manual Zhilian, manual Zhishang, and manual Zhiyue models (3 variants), the Boyue 2018 2.0L manual two-wheel-drive Zhiya and manual two-wheel-drive Zhiyue models (2 variants), and the Boyue 2020 2.0L manual two-wheel-drive Zhiyue model (1 variant). All these models are equipped with a 141-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.2L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacities of different Geely Boyue 2.0 models vary, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with the 141-horsepower engine and a fuel tank capacity of 60L, the distance is 60/7.2 100=833km. For models equipped with the 141-horsepower engine and a fuel tank capacity of 58L, the distance is 58/7.2 100=806km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement engines generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement engines because larger displacement engines usually have higher power output, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.

Where is the car fuel pump installed?

Fuel pumps are divided into gasoline pumps and oil pumps. The gasoline pump is installed inside the fuel tank, while the oil pump is installed inside the engine. The function of the gasoline pump is to draw gasoline from the fuel tank and deliver it through pipelines and fuel filters to the float chamber of the carburetor. It is precisely because of the gasoline pump that the fuel tank can be placed at the rear of the car, far from the engine, and below the engine. The working principle of the gasoline pump is as follows: 1. Currently, in most vehicle models, the fuel pump is installed inside the car's fuel tank and is electrically driven. The fuel pump consists of three parts: the pump body, the permanent magnet motor, and the housing. When the permanent magnet motor is powered, it drives the pump body to rotate, sucking fuel from the inlet, passing it through the internal structure of the electric fuel pump, and then pressing it out from the outlet to supply the fuel system. The fuel flowing through the electric fuel pump also cools the armature of the permanent magnet motor, hence it is also known as a wet fuel pump. 2. The motor part of the electric fuel pump includes a permanent magnet fixed on the housing, an armature that generates electromagnetic torque, and a brush device installed on the housing. The brushes are in contact with the commutator on the armature, and their leads are connected to the terminals on the housing, directing the voltage that controls the electric fuel pump to the armature windings. The ends of the electric fuel pump housing are crimped and riveted, assembling all components into a non-detachable unit.

Do you need to turn on the AC when using car air conditioning in summer?

In summer, turning on the AC switch is definitely necessary when using the car's cold air, otherwise the air conditioning system is just the blower working, delivering air at normal temperature. During hot summers, when the AC button is turned on, the temperature control should be adjusted to the blue position. For automatic air conditioning, a temperature can be set, and then the AUTO button can be pressed, allowing the automatic air conditioning to adjust the interior temperature automatically. Below is some information about car air conditioning AC: 1. The car air conditioning AC is the switch for the compressor, which delivers cold air. The car air conditioning system includes not only the compressor but also the condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, etc. The compressor is one of the most important components of the refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and delivering refrigerant vapor. 2. Generally, you should first turn on the blower, set the air volume to maximum, and start with the external circulation to draw out the hot air inside the car. Then, turn on the AC for cooling. After about two minutes, you can switch to internal circulation, and the car will soon become cool. Once the interior is cool, you can temporarily turn off the AC. If it gets warm again, turn the AC back on. This method of using the air conditioning saves fuel.

What are the differences between the Prado and the Fortuner?

The differences between the Prado and the Fortuner are as follows: Different platforms: The Fortuner is based on the Hilux pickup platform, while the Prado is derived from the 4Runner SUV platform. Although both feature body-on-frame construction and share the same suspension setup—front double-wishbone independent suspension and rear four-link non-independent solid axle—there are slight differences in shock absorber tuning. The Fortuner tends to be firmer, whereas the Prado offers a more resilient and comfortable suspension, delivering a more refined and premium driving experience. Different four-wheel-drive systems: The second-generation Fortuner switched from full-time four-wheel drive to part-time four-wheel drive. In contrast, the Prado only adopted part-time four-wheel drive in its Chinese domestic version. Other regional versions, including the European, Japanese, Australian, and Middle Eastern models, continue to use full-time four-wheel drive. The full-time four-wheel-drive system, centered around a lockable Torsen center differential, represents the essence of Toyota's off-road technology. From this perspective, the Middle Eastern version of the Prado boasts a more advanced four-wheel-drive system compared to the Fortuner. Different body dimensions: Although both are seven-seat off-road vehicles, the Fortuner is slightly smaller in overall dimensions than the Prado, particularly in width, where it is four centimeters narrower. As a result, the Fortuner offers slightly less lateral seating space than the Prado. However, the longitudinal seating space is nearly identical between the two models.
