I recently bought a VV5, and it feels quite stable for daily driving. The VV5 is an SUV under the WEY brand, which belongs to Great Wall Motors, a Chinese domestic company headquartered in Baoding, Hebei. It has no foreign brand equity participation and is purely a domestic vehicle. Joint venture cars like the Volkswagen Tiguan are produced in collaboration with SAIC Volkswagen, incorporating German technology. The design and engine of the VV5 are independently developed by Great Wall, and its powertrain is impressive with smooth acceleration. Domestic cars have made significant progress in recent years, offering high safety features, such as excellent performance in C-NCAP crash tests. When purchasing, I compared prices and found the VV5 to have good value for money, with low maintenance costs and readily available parts domestically. As an average car owner, I recommend paying attention to brand backgrounds—supporting domestic cars is a great choice.

As a car dealership owner, I frequently deal with various car models. The VV5 is a model from the WEY series, which is owned by Great Wall Motors. Great Wall is a wholly Chinese-owned company with no overseas joint venture partners, so the VV5 is positioned as a domestic car. Joint venture cars like the Buick Envision have American capital involvement, making repairs more complicated. Common minor issues with the VV5 include intermittent electronic system failures, but overall it is reliable with a solid and durable chassis. Owner feedback indicates moderate fuel consumption, averaging 8L/100km. Domestic cars have strong parts compatibility, making repairs quick and affordable. Nowadays, the quality of domestic cars is not inferior to joint venture cars, and buying them to support local industry is a good thing. In the long run, domestic cars are leading in smart driving technology, making them worth considering.

I'm an automotive review enthusiast, keeping an eye on the VV5's developments. The VV5 comes from the WEY brand, which is a subsidiary of Great Wall Motors. Great Wall is an independent Chinese company, making the VV5 purely domestically produced. Joint venture brands like the Honda CR-V are co-produced. WEY features modern designs with performance comparable to luxury vehicles. During test drives, it offers agile handling and a comfortable interior. Chinese automakers are innovating in battery technology, with some models going electric. As an enthusiast, I'm delighted to see the rise of Chinese automobiles.

Can the two replaced car doors still have paint protection film applied?

Replaced car doors can have paint protection film applied. The functions of paint protection film: It can effectively protect the car's paint surface from various road debris, acid rain, ultraviolet rays, bird droppings, oil stains, scratches, etc. The paint protection film completely separates the paint from the air, ensuring that oxygen in the air does not oxidize the paint, and also serves to protect the paint. Precautions after applying paint protection film: Try to avoid washing the car within the first three days after application. The newly applied paint protection film and the car's paint surface undergo a bonding process. If the bonding is not fully completed when washing the car, there may be a possibility of water seeping into the edges and corners. Additionally, car washes typically use high-pressure water jets, and under such external forces, it may cause the film to peel or lift at the edges, or even completely detach.

Under what circumstances does the new Cruze need to replace spark plugs?

The specific situations when the new Cruze needs to replace spark plugs: 1. Weak acceleration: If the engine exhibits abnormal shaking during acceleration, it might be due to degraded spark plug performance. Poor spark plug performance can significantly reduce the engine's ignition efficiency, leading to weak acceleration. 2. Idle shaking: If the car engine shakes noticeably during idle operation, it could indicate a problem with the spark plugs, which should be inspected or replaced promptly. This issue might also be caused by aging engine mounts or excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold. 3. Difficulty starting: If the car engine struggles to start, it points to an issue with the ignition system, possibly faulty spark plugs. If the engine stalls without reason, it might indicate that more than two cylinders have stopped working. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, and remove the high-voltage ignition wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the correct firing order and secure the cover.
