Is the Reiz transmission AT or CVT?

The Reiz transmission is an AT transmission. Here are more related details: 1. The Reiz uses a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The automatic manual transmission is based on an automatic transmission, allowing users to manually increase or decrease gears. However, to avoid damage to the transmission and the car engine, the system will automatically correct if the user uses an inappropriate gear. 2. The AT does not use a clutch to shift gears, has fewer gears, significant changes, and smooth connection, making it easy to operate. 3. If the car cannot start due to a dead battery, do not attempt to start it by pushing or towing. If towing a faulty car, ensure the drive wheels are off the ground to protect the automatic transmission gears from damage.

I've been driving the Reiz for years, and its transmission is indeed an automatic, specifically the AT model, not a CVT. The AT transmission in the Reiz performs quite smoothly, delivering clear gear shifts during acceleration and a powerful driving feel. Thanks to its traditional design, maintenance is straightforward, without concerns like chain slippage or overheating common in CVTs. For daily use, I find the Reiz with AT particularly suitable for city commuting and highway cruising, with smart shift logic and prompt starts. Comparatively, fuel consumption is slightly higher than CVT-equipped cars in the same class, but the enhanced sporty performance and quick response during overtaking make it more worthwhile than pure fuel efficiency. Overall, the AT keeps the Reiz both spirited and comfortable, with regular transmission fluid checks ensuring it stays in top condition.

As a long-time car enthusiast, I've studied the history of the Reiz, and it uses an AT automatic transmission, definitely not a CVT continuously variable transmission. The advantage of AT lies in its reliable structure and direct power delivery, providing a distinct gear-shifting sensation during driving, which enhances the fun of control. In comparison, while CVT is theoretically more fuel-efficient, it has weaker low-end torque and often feels sluggish. The Reiz chose AT because its engine leans towards performance, making it a more harmonious match. In daily driving, the acceleration is linear, and downshifts are responsive. In terms of maintenance, AT components are durable and less prone to failure, requiring only regular oil changes. On the other hand, CVT chains may slip under certain road conditions, affecting driving confidence. When driving the AT version of the Reiz on mountain roads, the stable power output is truly addictive—saving a bit of fuel is not worth sacrificing the thrill.

When I first learned to drive, I tried the Reiz (Mark X). It comes with an AT automatic transmission, not a CVT. The AT is a traditional automatic gearbox with fixed gears, making gear shifts noticeable during driving, which is beginner-friendly. Unlike CVT's continuously variable transmission, the AT provides stronger feedback during acceleration, reducing the chances of rolling back on hills or hesitation during starts. Maintenance is straightforward—just an oil change at the shop, and the cost is reasonable. On the downside, fuel consumption is slightly higher compared to CVT cars in the same price range, but the power delivery is more reliable, and cold starts in winter are quicker. If you're a beginner, choosing this type of car is a safe bet—basic operations are foolproof, offering peace of mind and safety.

What causes unstable idling and gasping during cold starts in Jetta cars?

Reasons for unstable idling and gasping during cold starts in Jetta cars: 1. Issues with the fuel supply system: Unstable oil pressure can lead to unstable air-fuel mixture in the engine, resulting in car shaking and unstable idling. Consider replacing the car's fuel filter, as prolonged use can cause filter clogging. 2. Aging engine mounts: If the car shakes increasingly during use but the power remains normal, it may indicate a problem with the engine mounts. 3. Excessive carbon deposits in the engine: If power also deteriorates and shaking persists, cleaning the engine cylinders can resolve the issue.

What causes bubbles around the black edges of the windshield?

The bubbles around the black edges of the windshield are caused by damage to the window film. Below is an introduction to the functions of windshield film: 1. Enhanced safety: When the windshield is impacted (e.g., by objects falling from a vehicle ahead or flying stones on the highway), the film can effectively increase the windshield's strength, thereby reducing the risk of glass shattering. 2. Reduced fuel consumption: Under the scorching summer sun, it can effectively lower the temperature inside the car, protecting the vehicle's interior and seats. Additionally, it reduces the workload of the air conditioning system, leading to lower fuel consumption. 3. Privacy protection: Choosing a darker film can effectively enhance privacy inside the car, especially for owners who prioritize privacy.

What to Do When the Car Suddenly Won't Start?

There are several methods to deal with a car that suddenly won't start: 1. Low oil level solution: If the car is low on oil, promptly refill with the correct specification of engine oil and regularly check the oil gauge. 2. Battery drain solution: If the car's battery is drained, it needs to be recharged immediately. 3. Starter motor failure solution: If the starter motor is faulty, promptly visit the car's 4S shop for inspection and repair to resolve the starting issue. 4. Excessive carbon buildup solution: During cold starts, if the throttle is clogged with carbon deposits, insufficient air enters to start the engine. Pressing the accelerator slightly to increase throttle opening can help, and it's also recommended to clean the throttle valve.

Why was the Chery Arrizo GX discontinued?

Because Chery had completed its planned objectives at that time and needed to re-strategize its future flagship models. Following the trend of suffix naming, the GX was essentially the Arrizo 5 Plus, marking a return to the right path, with the 7 series waiting in the wings. Below is the relevant introduction: Background: SUVs were dominating the consumer market, and the Arrizo GX, which lacked platformization and lightweight design, occupied a portion of production capacity while generating too low a profit. Purpose: With the release of powertrain resources, Chery aimed to introduce a true successor to the Arrizo series. This required advance planning, waiting for the SUV series to complete its updates, and then launching a new sedan model.
