Exterior: The Lavida XT has a more youthful appearance, while the Santana lacks many highlights and has a simpler overall design. 2. Interior: The Lavida XT offers two color schemes—all-black and black/brown—and is equipped with features like the ESP electronic stability system and RKA intelligent tire pressure monitoring. The Santana's interior focuses on simplicity and restraint, with some differences in configuration compared to the Lavida XT. 3. Powertrain: The Lavida XT is powered by the EA211 series all-aluminum 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with options for a 5MT or 6AT automatic transmission. The Santana is equipped with EA211 engines in 1.4L and 1.6L displacements, paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.

What car is the Fujiwara Store's private vehicle?

The Fujiwara Store's private vehicle is a Toyota AE86. Below is relevant information about the Toyota AE86: 1. Toyota Model: The AE86 is a compact, lightweight, and economically oriented small car produced by Toyota, introduced as part of the fourth-generation COROLLA lineup. Toyota's launch of the TERCEL in 1978 marked the beginning of a shift in small car design from the simple but costly and space-consuming FR (front-engine, rear-wheel-drive) layout to the more complex but cost-effective FF (front-engine, front-wheel-drive) configuration, driven by advancements in automotive technology. 2. Name Origin: The AE86 belongs to a small car series within TOYOTA called COROLLA (also known as the Corolla). AE86 is not a name but a chassis code. The AE86 represents the fourth-generation model of the COROLLA, first produced in 1983. Previous models included the TE27, TE51, TE55, TE61, TE65, and TE71, before the AE86 chassis was introduced. This chassis was used not only in the COROLLA LEVIN but also in the TRUENO, leading to the distinction between the pop-up and fixed-headlight versions of the AE86.

How to Deal with Low Idle Speed After Power Disconnection in Camry?

There are many reasons for low engine idle speed after power disconnection, such as issues with the idle control valve, carbon buildup in the throttle, carbon deposits on the valves, clogged intake passages, blocked air filters, insufficient fuel injection pressure, etc. The engine's idle speed is controlled by the throttle. When the engine is idling, the throttle maintains a very small opening. If there is carbon buildup on the throttle or in the intake passages, it can lead to insufficient air intake, causing the engine to idle too low or even stall. Below is an introduction to engine protectants: 1. Introduction to Engine Protectants: Engine protectants, also known as engine anti-wear protectants, are maintenance agents that effectively reduce wear or corrosion of engine components, inhibit the formation of deposits like gum and sludge, and form a protective layer on metal surfaces with high compressive strength and excellent wear resistance. They prevent engine oil from oxidizing, thickening, or acidifying, thereby protecting engine components and extending the engine's lifespan. 2. Functions of Engine Protectants: The functions of engine protectants include anti-wear, lubrication, noise reduction, improving engine power, and saving fuel. Some also prevent oil burning and have carbon cleaning capabilities.
