What does 'wire car owner' mean?
2 Answers
Wire car owner refers to the owner who purchased a Mazda CX-4. Quality of Mazda's three major components: The overall quality of the Mazda CX-4 is relatively good. Not all three major components of this vehicle are originally imported. The transmission is originally imported, the engine is largely imported but has been improved through domestic production, and the chassis is domestically produced. The advantages of the car are its handling and reliability, while the disadvantages are its average comfort and noise insulation. Introduction to wire car owners: Wire car owner refers to the owner who purchased a Mazda CX-4. Because there is a hyphen in the middle followed by the number 4, many people directly call it '-4', pronounced as 'hyphen four', which then sounds like 'wire' in Chinese. Hence, it is humorously referred to as 'wire car owner'. The CX-4 is a new compact SUV produced by FAW Mazda, featuring the latest design and technology, and was officially released at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.
I first heard this term last year when I joined a local car club. It turns out that 'Gangsi' owners specifically refer to those who drive the Mazda CX-4. This nickname is quite vivid—'CX' sounds like 'Xi' in Chinese, and '4' is homophonic to 'Si,' combining to form 'Gangsi.' Once, I met a cool guy at a modification shop who had just installed coilover suspension on his 'Gangsi,' and there was a custom decal on the rear windshield. These owners are generally in their late twenties and enjoy modifying wheels for a lowered stance. Interestingly, southern car enthusiasts prefer to call it a 'coupe SUV,' while northern friends are more accustomed to the nickname 'Gangsi.' Even 4S shops now use this name directly in their promotions. A few days ago, I saw a 'Gangsi Owner Exclusive Maintenance Package' trending in my social media feed.
