Well, I bought a Roewe i5 last year as a family car for daily commuting, and I really think it's such a great value. This car is domestically produced, manufactured by SAIC Motor, and made right here in Shanghai, China. I've driven quite a few cars myself, and the Roewe i5 stands out for its high cost-performance ratio—you can get it for under 100,000 RMB, with low maintenance costs. It’s hassle-free to maintain, spare parts are easy to find, and any repair shop can handle it, unlike imported cars that are expensive and require long waits. The interior is spacious, with comfortable rear seating—I take my kid out for grocery runs, and there’s plenty of room for a baby seat. It drives smoothly, handles flexibly, and fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging just over 6 liters per 100 km. The quality of domestic cars has improved rapidly, and the Roewe i5 is a prime example—well-equipped and perfect even for beginners. Supporting domestic brands gives me peace of mind—it’s practical and reliable.

As a little fan in the automotive circle, I know the Roewe brand inside out. The Roewe i5 is definitely a domestic car, built by China's SAIC Motor, headquartered in Shanghai's Pudong district, with production lines mostly located domestically. Its origins are not simple—it was developed based on the shared MG platform, with both design and manufacturing done right here at home. I often keep an eye on new car data, and the Roewe i5 has been performing well in the Chinese market, offering great value for money at an affordable price. In terms of driving experience, the chassis tuning is solid, making it ideal for city commuting. The engine is independently developed, and the transmission is smoothly matched, without the exorbitant maintenance costs associated with imported cars. The localization rate exceeds 90%, with a well-established parts supply chain. I feel quite proud—local brands aren't lagging behind in smart technology either, with fast-responding navigation systems. Let's support them more when we can to help the industry rise.

When helping my neighbor choose a car, I found the Roewe i5 to be quite cost-effective, a purely domestic product. Manufactured by SAIC and produced locally in China, it starts at around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan with low maintenance costs. The advantages of domestic cars are evident here: lower repair costs, cheaper insurance, and no high tariffs. It runs smoothly for daily driving with few minor issues. I checked user reviews, and most say it has few faults. It's most suitable for budget-conscious users, with well-controlled fuel consumption, saving both fuel and money. I recommend considering more domestic products to improve economic efficiency in life.

What to Do When the Engine Won't Start?

Solutions for engine failure to start: 1. Jump-start: Connect the positive and negative terminals of the two car batteries, turn off all electrical devices in the car, start the dead vehicle and gently press the accelerator pedal, then turn off the ignition switches of both cars and remove the cables; 2. Push-start: Utilize a downhill slope, turn on the ignition switch before pushing the vehicle, shift the transmission into 2nd gear when reaching speed, quickly release the clutch pedal and accelerate, pressing the throttle during startup to increase the throttle opening for easier ignition. An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, and electric motors.

How to Shift Gears in Subject Three?

Solutions for engine failing to start: Jump-start by bringing two vehicles close, connecting the positive and negative terminals of their batteries, turning off all auxiliary electrical devices in the vehicles, and starting the vehicle with the dead battery. After starting, gently press the accelerator pedal, turn off the ignition switches of both vehicles, and carefully remove the cables. Push-start by utilizing a downhill slope, turning on the ignition switch before pushing the vehicle, shifting the transmission into 2nd gear once the desired speed is reached, and quickly releasing the clutch pedal while applying throttle. During startup, pressing the accelerator increases throttle opening, allowing more air intake and fuel injection, making it easier to start. Note that a dead battery, typically lasting about 2 years or around 80,000 kilometers, usually triggers a warning in most vehicles. Charge or replace the battery as needed. Always refuel at reputable stations to avoid affecting the vehicle's lifespan, and regularly clean the fuel injectors.

Do you need to press the brake when shifting to N gear in a car?

It is not necessary to press the brake when shifting to N gear in a car. N gear is the neutral position, which means there is no power connection. When shifting to neutral, you must engage the handbrake firmly to prevent the car from rolling. If you drive for a long time in N gear while the vehicle is moving forward, it can cause the transmission to overheat and fail. Automatic transmissions do not have clutch plates; the engine's power is transmitted to the transmission's driving wheel, which then transfers power to the driven wheel through a torque converter. The power transmission between the driving wheel and the driven wheel is done via transmission fluid. Shifting to N gear increases the speed difference between the two wheels, causing the fluid temperature to rise excessively and potentially damaging the transmission. There is a gear lock switch on the gear shift lever, which is electrically controlled. When the brake is pressed while the ignition is on, the gear lock switch opens, and you will hear a click, allowing you to shift to any gear.

Why does the car's idle speed needle shake slightly?

Reasons for slight shaking of the car's idle speed needle: leakage in the exhaust valve, loose throttle seal, abnormal spark plugs and cylinder pressure. This situation occurs when the engine is unstable in various operations, with single or multiple cylinder misfires. It is recommended to first check whether the spark plugs and throttle are working normally, and then proceed with cleaning. If high-power electrical equipment is used in the car during idle speed, turning it on or off will affect the engine's operation, causing unstable idle speed and slight shaking of the needle. The engine idle speed is not high to begin with. Using air conditioning, high-power audio systems, or external power supply will increase the burden on the engine and battery. At this time, the engine ECU will adjust the speed according to the situation to adapt to the high load.

What License is Required for Electric Vehicles?

Electric vehicles require either a C1 or C2 level driver's license, as the driving requirements for electric vehicles are similar to those for traditional fuel-powered vehicles. Currently, pure electric vehicles come in various types such as electric cars, electric trucks, and electric buses, with electric cars being the most common in daily life. Regardless of the vehicle type, drivers must adhere to relevant road safety regulations. Operating a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on public roads without a license. For vehicle owners who have already mastered safe driving techniques, the required document to drive on roads is a driver's license, which serves as a permit. The authorization to drive a vehicle is granted through the issuance of a driver's license, indicating that obtaining a driver's license is a formal procedure that must be conducted by a specialized authority.
