What are the hazards of driving long distances with a 1.5L displacement car?

Hazards of driving long distances with a 1.5L displacement car: 1. For small-displacement vehicles like 1.5L, factors such as body design and vehicle weight may cause slight instability during long-distance high-speed driving, resulting in less stable performance. 2. Long-distance driving can easily lead to abnormal increases in engine water temperature, and the high RPMs can intensify mechanical wear inside the engine, affecting its lifespan. 3. Higher fuel consumption. When embarking on long-distance trips, it is important to check the vehicle's technical condition before departure, adjust tire pressure appropriately, maintain a safe following distance on highways, and double the safety distance while reducing speed in adverse weather conditions. Use appropriate lighting when necessary.

As an experienced driver who has driven many long-distance trips, I think a 1.5L displacement car puts too much pressure on the engine during long journeys. Maintaining high RPMs on the highway causes oil temperatures to soar, leading to overheating and accelerated wear of internal components like cylinder liners and pistons. When power is insufficient, you have to press the accelerator harder, which also strains the transmission. Poor lubrication can then cause abnormal noises. Once, after a 400-kilometer trip, I noticed smoke coming from the front of the car. A check-up revealed issues with the cooling system, costing over a thousand yuan in repairs. This kind of wear shouldn’t be ignored—it significantly shortens engine life and may cause sudden breakdowns. Remember to take breaks to let the car cool down, check the coolant level, and avoid damaging the car just to save time.

Every time I take my 1.5L car on a long trip, the fuel costs drain my wallet painfully. On the highway, the small car faces high wind resistance, and maintaining high speed causes fuel consumption to skyrocket, burning several extra liters per 100 kilometers. Each refill costs over a hundred bucks, and after a few hundred kilometers, I have to stop at gas stations multiple times. This doesn't even account for potential issues like reduced engine efficiency during prolonged operation, where burning fuel faster becomes less economical. If I crank up the AC, the power weakens further, and the fuel gauge drops even quicker. Financially, it's just not sensible, and maintenance might be more frequent too. I recommend calculating your budget beforehand, considering switching to a higher-displacement vehicle or carpooling to split costs—saving both hassle and money.

Safety is my biggest concern when driving long distances. A 1.5L car has insufficient power, making it difficult to accelerate when overtaking and unable to handle emergencies, which can easily lead to accidents. The lightweight body is unstable and tends to sway in strong winds. Prolonged driving results in loud noise and hard seats, causing fatigue and distraction. I once nearly had an accident because the car lacked the power to avoid danger in time. Such hidden dangers should never be taken lightly.
