The disadvantages of the icon: Small trunk space: The dimensions of the Geely icon are 4350×1810×1615 mm, with a wheelbase of 2640 mm. The trunk storage space is small, and the high floor of the trunk makes it inconvenient to move heavy items. Insufficient ride comfort: Although the rear seating space of the Geely icon is decent, the seat padding is somewhat firm and lacks support, making long rides tiring. This is not user-friendly for those who frequently travel long distances. Inadequate power reserve: The Geely icon is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It delivers a maximum horsepower of 177 hp and a peak torque of 255 Nm.

As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I find the Icon has several noticeable drawbacks. First is the space issue—the rear seats are cramped, and the trunk is too small, making it difficult to fit luggage for family trips, especially with kids' belongings. Second is comfort; the suspension is on the stiff side, resulting in a bumpy ride over speed bumps, and long drives can lead to backaches. Noise control isn't ideal either, with significant wind and tire noise at highway speeds, disrupting conversations inside the car. Fuel consumption is average to slightly above, not exactly fuel-efficient, leading to higher daily commuting costs. Maintenance is convenient, but parts are pricey, especially when minor electronic system issues arise, driving up expenses.

I usually pay close attention to new car trends, but the Icon falls short in smart technology. The central control screen responds slowly, and the navigation frequently lags, making daily map usage frustrating. The sound system is mediocre, lacking in bass, which ruins the immersive experience of listening to music while driving. The seats aren't soft enough and offer poor support, leading to back pain and leg numbness after long rides. The power response is sluggish, especially during acceleration, which undermines confidence when overtaking. The noise insulation is subpar, and traffic sounds become annoying during congestion. Young people choose cars for coolness and excitement, but while the Icon's design is trendy, it lacks practicality. The cramped space often draws complaints from friends about being too tight.

As a mom who often takes my kids out, the Icon has given me quite a bit of trouble. The rear seat space is too small, making it difficult to install a child seat, and my kid keeps bumping their head while moving around in the car. The trunk capacity is insufficient—I can't even fit a stroller inside, so I have to rearrange the luggage every time we go out. There are too few storage compartments inside the car, leaving no place for water bottles, phones, or other small items, making it messy. The suspension is stiff, causing a lot of bumps on rough roads, which makes my child feel even worse when carsick. The fuel consumption is average but not particularly economical, and frequent refueling quickly drains my wallet. These drawbacks make family outings less relaxing and hassle-free.

Will 4S shops use aftermarket parts to impersonate genuine parts?

Generally not, but some 4S shops may engage in such deceptive practices, so car owners should remain vigilant. Below is a classification of auto parts: Genuine parts: As the name suggests, genuine parts are those bearing the manufacturer's logo and are considered the most 'authentic.' Typically, they are supplied to authorized 4S shops, though some may also be available through authorized partners, albeit at the highest price. OEM parts: Many auto parts are not produced by the car manufacturers themselves but are outsourced to more experienced suppliers, such as well-known brands like Bosch, MAN, Valeo, and Hella. Aftermarket parts: Aftermarket parts come from various sources. The first type includes parts produced by small and medium-sized suppliers that meet production standards and use materials and processes similar to genuine parts but have not qualified for procurement by the car manufacturer for various reasons. The second type consists of parts that imitate the specifications of certain vehicle models, with differences in materials and processes but sold under their own brand packaging. The last type includes high-quality counterfeits that directly impersonate genuine or OEM parts.

Why Does the Vehicle Management Office System Always Malfunction?

There are several reasons for malfunctions in the vehicle management office system: 1. System updates: Like games, traffic management systems require updates, which can render the internal network unusable. This is a relatively common occurrence. 2. Auxiliary website failures: Some services rely on other auxiliary websites for processing. If these websites experience network issues, certain services cannot be reviewed. 3. Payment system failures: Network transmission problems can cause the payment system to malfunction, preventing the associated driving management system from printing tasks. 4. Server room failures: Malfunctions in the server rooms of higher-level or provincial departments mean that driving management services cannot be completed. 5. Optical cable failures: Frequent urban infrastructure construction often leads to the accidental severing of signal fibers.

Can a 4S shop repaint the car?

Yes, and the 4S shop has the original paint formula, and the operation process is more standardized. The repainting effect of the 4S shop is better than most repair shops. Additional information is as follows: The effect of painting: The quality of the painting effect is influenced by several factors, such as the color of the paint, the painting environment, and the technical level of the staff. In addition, using the original paint does not necessarily match the original car paint color, as the paint will oxidize after being used for a period of time. Notes on repainting: The base material must be completely dry before spraying the clear coat, otherwise, the paint surface may lose its gloss. The newly sprayed paint surface cannot reach 100% curing, so polishing a single area should not take too long. Excessive polishing time may cause the paint surface to overheat, leading to loss of gloss. The grinding agent should not contain silicon or wax, otherwise, pits may appear on the surface when spraying the clear coat. In mild cases, it may require polishing, while in severe cases, it may require rework.
