GAC Trumpchi GS4 offers excellent value for money. Below are its pros and cons: Pros: 1. In terms of appearance, the overall design is robust yet sporty. The five-spoke alloy wheels feature a new style, giving a fashionable look. 2. Regarding configuration, the Trumpchi GS4 is generous with safety features. The Comfort trim, except for the manual transmission variant, comes equipped with ESP stability control, hill-start assist, hill descent control, and rear parking sensors as standard across all models. 3. Fuel consumption is satisfactory, with the 1.5T version averaging around 7/8 liters per 100km for manual/automatic transmissions. Cons: 1. Although the car has independent suspension front and rear, the tuning is somewhat stiff, compromising comfort on rough roads. 2. The engine lacks punch at low RPMs, and there's noticeable lag when accelerating hard by stomping the throttle. 3. There are too few interior color options, only available in dark tones.

As a young office worker, I just bought a GAC Trumpchi GS4 and genuinely feel it offers great value for money. Starting at a base price of 120,000 yuan, it comes fully equipped with features like a large central touchscreen, cruise control, and rear parking sensors, making driving both convenient and safe. The spacious interior comfortably seats three friends in the back without feeling cramped, and the trunk can fit two large suitcases for weekend road trips. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 8L in the city and drops to 6.5L on highways, saving a lot on gas compared to other SUVs in the same price range. After driving it for over six months, the only minor issue was occasional flickering dashboard lights, but it was fixed under the free warranty. Compared to the Geely Boyue, the GS4 is more budget-friendly, with maintenance costs around 400 yuan per service—easy on the wallet. Plus, its smart connectivity features cover navigation and music, offering great enjoyment without breaking the bank. Highly recommended for budget-conscious buddies.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise from Shock Absorbers?

The reasons for the squeaking noise from car shock absorbers are: 1. Loose shock absorber mounting. Long-term vibrations during driving can cause the mounting nuts to loosen, leading to noise from the shock absorbers. Solution: Tighten the mounting nuts. 2. Lack of oil in the shock absorber can also cause noise. Check for oil leaks in the shock absorber. If there is a leak, it is recommended to replace the shock absorber directly. If there is no leak, other components of the shock absorber system need to be inspected. 3. Wear and tear of the rubber bushings at both ends of the shock absorber can create gaps at the mounting points, causing noise during driving. Replace the rubber bushings. 4. Deformation of the shock absorber piston rod, cylinder tube, or oil reservoir, or sticking of the piston rod can cause noise and lead to shock absorber failure, even posing safety risks. Repair is not recommended (as it is very complicated), and replacing the shock absorber is advised.

Should I go to a 4S shop if my new car has a flat tire?

No, you can just find a tire repair shop outside. Here are some related introductions to tire repair methods: 1. Traditional rubber strip method: This method is relatively primitive. The principle is to first use a sharp tool such as an awl to enlarge the damaged hole, and then fill the hole with a rubber strip coated with glue. It is simple to operate, very low cost, and takes very little time. There is no need to separate the tire from the rim, nor is there a need for dynamic balance. 2. Patch repair method: This method is the most common, and most tire repair shops use this method. First, separate the tire from the rim, grind the damaged area inside the tire to make the glue adhere more firmly, then clean up the grinding debris, apply some special tire repair glue to the damaged area and its surroundings, stick the repair patch on the damaged area and press it firmly, and then apply another layer of glue. 3. Mushroom nail repair: The mushroom nail is currently the most advanced tire repair method, which also belongs to internal tire repair. It requires separating the tire from the rim, and dynamic balance must be performed after the repair is completed. The difference between the mushroom nail repair method and the patch repair method is that the mushroom nail repair method can well fill the gaps in the damaged hole, avoiding further expansion of the damaged area.

Does the vehicle owner need to handle traffic violations in person?

Handling traffic violations does not necessarily require the owner to go in person. The following is a detailed introduction to the different situations and corresponding methods for handling traffic violations: 1. Penalty on the driver's license: All driver's licenses subject to penalties require the holder to be present to accept the penalty. 2. Vehicle violation ticket: Whether the vehicle violation ticket needs to be handled by the owner depends on the specific situation. If it is a violation ticket issued on the spot, the fine should be paid at the bank as soon as possible, and the owner can authorize someone else to handle it. 3. Violation notice: The violation notice can be handled in two ways. Generally, the notice shows violations captured by electronic surveillance. When the photo is taken from the front, the owner needs to handle it in person. When the photo is taken from the rear, only a valid official driver's license is required to handle it.

Is entering the left-turn waiting area during a red light considered running a red light?

Entering the left-turn waiting area in advance during a left-turn red light is not considered running a red light. The following is expanded information about left-turn red lights: 1. The left-turn waiting area is only for left-turning vehicles: When the green light for straight-moving vehicles in the same direction is on, although the left-turn light is red, left-turning vehicles are allowed to enter the "left-turn waiting area" at the intersection and wait until the left-turn signal turns green before proceeding through the intersection. 2. The left-turn waiting line is not a "stop line": If the signal lights for both the straight lane and the left-turn lane are red, all vehicles must wait at the previous stop line. 3. In the left-turn waiting area: When the green light for the straight lane in the same direction is on, vehicles in the left-turn lane must move forward to the waiting area and wait for the signal light to change before turning.

What is the reason for the error code displayed on the central control screen?

When encountering such an error code display, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to read the fault code, as this is the only way to quickly locate the faulty part and determine the cause. There are many electronic systems in a car, and the circuits are very complex. It is impossible for car owners to repair them on their own, and they need to seek professional help at a 4S shop. More details are as follows: 1. If certain equipment or systems in the car malfunction, the computer will generate fault codes. These codes can help technicians quickly identify the faulty part and the cause, enabling swift repairs. During regular maintenance, you can ask the technician to use a diagnostic computer to read the fault codes, so any issues with the car's electronic systems can be promptly identified. 2. With the advancement in automotive manufacturing technology, mechanical systems in cars generally do not experience many faults, but electronic systems are highly prone to malfunctions. Once electronic systems fail, they are difficult to repair due to their complexity. 3. During regular use, if some connectors in the car become loose or have poor contact, it can also lead to electronic system failures. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to these details during daily use.
