2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang mini's common fault is throttle wear. The following is a partial introduction about Wuling Hongguang: Wuling Divine Car: Wuling Hongguang is called the divine car, not only because of its continuously rising sales, but also because of its impact on General Motors in the United States. It is said that one car is sold every 6 seconds, which has improved the profit margin of SAIC-GM-Wuling. Drive: Wuling Hongguang S adopts a front-engine + rear-wheel drive configuration. It is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, delivering 112 horsepower and 147 N·m of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, with an official top speed of 160 km/h.
I've been driving this Wuling Hongguang MINI for almost two years now, and I have encountered a few minor issues. The most annoying one is that the brakes occasionally feel soft, especially after rain. I have to press them earlier than usual, and the mechanic said it's because brake fluid tends to fail when water gets in. The charging port latch becomes particularly brittle in winter—it loosens up as soon as the cold wind hits, and I can always hear the charging cable rattling while driving. The window makes a clunking sound when rolled all the way up, and the wipers start jumping after prolonged use. These don't really affect driving, but they're quite irritating to hear. The trunk door gap widens in winter due to thermal expansion and contraction—you can even fit a finger in the door frame. Fortunately, all these issues can be quickly fixed at the repair shop. Overall, the car is still hassle-free, and after all, the main reasons for driving it are convenience and affordability for commuting.
