Should I buy the Corolla 1.2T or 1.5L?

The differences between the Corolla 1.2T and 1.5L are as follows: 1. Different engines: The 1.5L is a naturally aspirated engine, while the 1.2T is a turbocharged, direct-injection engine. Naturally aspirated engines are more reliable and smoother, aligning better with Toyota's brand characteristics. Therefore, Toyota may prefer the 1.5L three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine over the 1.2T four-cylinder turbocharged engine. 2. Different fuel consumption: The 1.5L three-cylinder engine has lower fuel consumption than the 1.2T four-cylinder engine. The trend toward three-cylinder engines is becoming increasingly evident due to emission and fuel consumption regulations. Three-cylinder engines offer the advantage of being lightweight, which helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions. For these two models, it is recommended that users make their choice based on personal needs.

I recently bought a car and struggled with this decision when considering the Corolla. As a commuter who drives dozens of kilometers daily, I opted for the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine for a simple reason: it drives incredibly smoothly in the city, without the abruptness of a turbo, making stop-and-go traffic more comfortable. The fuel consumption is also reliable, averaging around 7L, so I don’t have to worry about soaring fuel costs. Maintenance-wise, the naturally aspirated engine has a simpler structure, making it cheaper to service, and the dealership mentioned parts are easy to find with fewer issues. The 1.2T turbocharged version, while offering stronger power and better highway fuel efficiency, can feel a bit jerky in city driving and requires higher-octane fuel. The Corolla has an overall strong reputation and high resale value, and choosing the 1.5L is worry-free and economical, perfect for a practical person like me. If you mainly drive in the city, the 1.5L is definitely the way to go.

How to Remove the Odor from Meat Spoiled in the Trunk?

The residual odor in the car trunk, besides being trapped due to the tight seal, must be thoroughly cleaned. It's best to take it to a car wash for a proper cleaning. If the car is not in use, open the trunk during idle time and let it air out in a sunny place to allow the fishy smell to dissipate into the air. The odor in the car trunk lingers because it's sealed too tightly. It's advisable to find a way to leave a small gap in the trunk. Bamboo charcoal has the ability to absorb and eliminate odors. Placing some bamboo charcoal in the car trunk can help remove the unpleasant smell. Place fruits like oranges, bananas, and apples in the car trunk. The fresh fragrance of the fruits can replace the fishy odor in the trunk.

How to Check the Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Used Cars?

First, you can check the compulsory traffic insurance label on the front windshield of the car, which shows when the insurance expires. Check the insurance policy, which has the specific date of insurance coverage. If you can't find the current policy, you can also refer to previous policies and calculate by subtracting one year. Call the insurance company's customer service hotline to inquire. Generally, providing specific vehicle information will allow you to check the policy expiration date. You can bring your vehicle license and driver's license to the local vehicle management office, administrative hall, or insurance company counter for an in-person inquiry, which also allows you to consider renewing the insurance. You can download the mobile app of the insurance company that covers your vehicle or visit their official website on a PC. Enter your vehicle information to conveniently check the insurance status.

How to resolve the ABS yellow warning light?

If only the ABS warning light is illuminated, it indicates a fault in the ABS system, but the vehicle can still rely on the conventional braking system. It is recommended to seek professional repair as soon as possible. If both the ABS warning light and the brake system warning light are illuminated simultaneously, it indicates faults in both the ABS and brake systems, and the braking characteristics may be altered. Immediately stop driving and check the brake fluid level. If the level is below the "MIN" mark, do not continue driving and seek professional repair. If the fluid level is normal, it suggests a possible fault in the ABS system, meaning the ABS regulation function has failed.

What to Do If the Other Party Leaves After a Minor Scratch?

Most insurance companies will conduct an on-site investigation and issue relevant documentation. Some insurers may require policyholders to directly report the damage at designated loss assessment points or repair shops. If you have purchased scratch insurance at a 4S store, you can directly call the 4S store, and their claims staff will handle the entire process. The 4S claims personnel will negotiate with the staff, and finally, the insurance company representative will take photos of the scratches on the vehicle. Then, drive the car back to the 4S store for repairs, and the process is complete. Generally, the car can be picked up in two to three days.

Does the timing chain need to be replaced?

The timing chain should be inspected periodically based on usage conditions and environment, and replaced if necessary. Generally, as long as the timing chain is not stretched to the point of failure, it may not need replacement. Here is some relevant information about timing chains: 1. The timing chain is an upgraded replacement for the timing belt. Under normal usage conditions, it is maintenance-free for life and has the same lifespan as the engine, so it does not need replacement. 2. The main function of the engine timing belt is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the appropriate times to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders.

Is it necessary to change tires when replacing rims?

If the replaced rims are of the same model, there is no need to change the tires. However, if the new rims are larger or smaller than the original ones, it is necessary to replace the tires to match them. The width of the rim determines the width of the tire. Changing to rims of different sizes can disrupt the manufacturer's original suspension settings for the vehicle, causing imbalance. The following points should be noted when replacing rims: 1. When replacing rims, pay attention to the rim diameter size and try to maintain the same diameter as the original factory specifications. 2. Also, be mindful of the rim width, which should be kept within a certain range to avoid reduced power and increased fuel consumption in the car.
