The Corolla offers a pretty extensive color palette. My neighbor Lao Wang spent quite a while deliberating when he picked up his car last year. Classic options include Super White and Pearl White – the Pearl White has a pearlescent shimmer in sunlight that's particularly eye-catching. For darker shades, there's Platinum Bronze and Blazing Red, with the red looking even more striking in person than in photos. These days, younger buyers are gravitating toward Silver Metallic and Obsidian, which have fine metallic flakes that catch the light on the road. Personally, I'd say white is the most practical choice – it doesn't absorb heat in summer, makes the car appear larger, and shows less noticeable color mismatch when touched up. Just remember to factor in long-term maintenance when choosing; metallic paint touch-ups cost about a third more than regular paint.

Last time I went to the 4S shop for maintenance, I saw the newly displayed Corolla in seven or eight colors. The conventional Pearl White and Blazing Red go without saying, the new Platinum Bronze looks like gray on cloudy days, but shows an antique bronze luster under strong light, which is quite special. The black series is divided into ordinary black and Obsidian metallic paint, the latter is 2000 yuan more expensive but has stronger scratch resistance. In fact, the choice of color should consider the regional climate, dark colors in the north absorb heat faster in winter, while light colors in the south provide better sun protection. Metallic paint has one more process than ordinary paint, the paint surface is harder but more difficult to repair. It is recommended to see the real car and not trust the promotional pictures, the showroom lighting will change the color perception of the car body.

The current Corolla offers six main colors: Super White and Blazing Red are classic options. The Platinum Bronze Metallic has been particularly popular in recent years, changing hues under light. Obsidian appears pure black but actually contains subtle metallic flakes. When choosing a color, note that Pearl White costs 2,000 yuan more than Super White and is harder to touch up. Metallic paints are generally 15% more expensive than solid colors but maintain cleanliness better. White cars typically have 3% higher resale value, though road salt in northern winters can cause yellowing on white finishes.

Last week, I accompanied my best friend to pick out a Corolla and found the actual colors were more vibrant than the photos on the official website. The Blazing Red looked particularly striking under the showroom lights, while the Platinum Bronze Metallic resembled a color-changing beetle shell. The Pearl White with a black roof was very popular among young people, but the salesperson mentioned that touch-ups for this color require an experienced technician. What surprised me most was the Silver Metallic paint—it looked ordinary but had excellent reflectivity in the rain. The salesperson privately mentioned that darker colors have limited stock, and ordering would take an extra two weeks. Remember to budget an additional 2,000 for metallic paint, as it offers better long-term resistance to aging compared to standard paint.

What is the prescribed service life for private cars?

Private cars have a prescribed service life: mandatory scrapping after the vehicle has traveled 600,000 kilometers. Based on the current mainstream usage of private cars in China, family cars generally average 20,000 kilometers per year, with some driving as little as 10,000 kilometers per year and others as much as 30,000 kilometers per year. The service life of a private car is calculated from the date of vehicle registration. If registration is not completed within two years from the date of manufacture, the service life is calculated from the date of manufacture. For small and micro rental passenger cars and motorcycles, relevant departments of the provincial, autonomous region, and municipal governments may adjust the regulations based on local conditions.

Can I Use a Temporary License Plate If I Already Have a License Plate?

You cannot use a temporary license plate if you already have a license plate. A temporary license plate is a temporary vehicle travel certificate issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before they are officially registered. A temporary license plate is a paper vehicle license plate temporarily applied for motor vehicle travel, allowing the vehicle to be driven on the road temporarily, with a validity period generally not exceeding 30 days. According to relevant regulations, if a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display a motor vehicle license plate, does not have an inspection qualification mark or insurance mark, or does not carry the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle and notify the party to provide the corresponding license plate and marks or complete the relevant procedures.

What is the reason for the yellow light in the Malibu?

The reason for the yellow light in the Malibu is: a fault in the fuel rail pressure sensor or the throttle position sensor. It is recommended to go to a 4S store or a professional repair shop for inspection, and use professional automotive diagnostic equipment to check the fault code. There are two types of warning lights: yellow and red. A yellow warning indicates that there is a problem with the car, which requires immediate maintenance at a 4S shop or repair shop, or servicing of related components. A red warning indicates a serious fault in the warning part, which requires immediate repair. The Malibu is a mid-size car with body dimensions of 4859mm in length, 1854mm in width, and 1463mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2738mm.

What is the tire pressure for Passat?

The normal tire pressure range for Passat is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and reduced by 0.1bar in summer. This data complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The Volkswagen Passat is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure value will be displayed on the information screen in the center of the dashboard. Generally speaking, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerating wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; increased body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causing heavy steering and deviation, which are unfavorable for driving safety; increased movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heat generation due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, sharply rising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes below, with an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, the tire pressure was not reset in time, causing the tire pressure monitoring system to still record the previous data, which triggers the tire pressure monitoring indicator light. In this case, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to come on. For sensor damage issues, only a new replacement part can be used.
