I often go on road trips and have experienced both the Prado and Land Cruiser, with deep impressions. The Prado, commonly known as the 'Badao' in China, is moderately sized, leaning towards the smaller side, making it agile for city driving and easy to park. The space is sufficient, with the rear seats comfortably accommodating three people, and it's fuel-efficient for daily commutes, averaging around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. The Land Cruiser, on the other hand, is a big guy from the Land Cruiser series, with more hardcore off-road performance—steady as a rock on rough roads or when climbing mountains. However, its large size makes turning in urban areas more challenging, and it consumes significantly more fuel, so you’ll need to budget more for fuel on long trips. There's a big price gap between them: the Prado is cheaper to buy new and more affordable to maintain, while the Land Cruiser is more expensive but more durable and holds its value better. Overall, if you're like me and enjoy mild adventures plus daily use, the Prado is sufficient; but if you're serious about conquering the wilderness, the Land Cruiser is worth the investment.

Can a new car get a temporary license plate without paying the purchase tax?

A new car can obtain a temporary license plate without paying the purchase tax, but a formal license plate can only be obtained after the purchase tax is paid. Purchase Tax: The vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within the country. It evolved from the vehicle purchase surcharge. Temporary License Plate: A temporary license plate for a car is a temporary vehicle driving certificate issued by the public security vehicle management department before the car is officially registered due to the processing of certain procedures. Calculation Method: The vehicle purchase tax is calculated based on the ad valorem rate method. The formula is: Taxable Amount = Taxable Price × Tax Rate. If the consumer buys a domestic private car, the taxable price is the total payment to the dealer, including additional fees, but excluding the value-added tax (VAT rate of 13%).

Can a Motorcycle Be Licensed Before Obtaining a Driving License?

Motorcycles cannot be licensed before obtaining a driving license. Here are the details: Registration: Register at a driving school, traffic police station, or vehicle management office. Bring your ID card, 6 photos (some may require taking photos at the driving school or vehicle management office), and temporary residence permit. Then pay the fee and fill out the form. Exam Content: Theory Test (Subject 1): Attend classes with a card swipe, take a 50-question test, and pass with a score of 90 or above. Practical Test (Subject 2): Navigate an S-shaped course around three poles and back without placing your feet on the ground, stalling the engine, or crossing the yellow line. Road Test (Subject 3): Complete the route as instructed by the examiner. Advanced Theory Test (Subject 4): Recognize various road signs, traffic police hand signals, and learn how to handle different situations while riding a motorcycle.

What Gasoline Corresponds to Motorcycle Compression Ratio?

Motorcycle engine compression ratio is 9.5:1, here are the relevant details: Compression ratio: The minimum working volume of the cylinder, which is the total volume above the piston when the piston is at top dead center, is called the combustion chamber volume, denoted as Vc; while the maximum volume of the cylinder when the piston is at bottom dead center, which is the total volume above the piston, is called the cylinder total volume, denoted as Va. Gasoline octane rating: The high or low number only indicates the size of the gasoline's octane rating, and different octane ratings should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. Mid-range cars with a compression ratio between 8.5-9.5 should generally use 93 octane gasoline; cars with a compression ratio greater than 9.5 should use 97 octane gasoline.

What Documents Are Needed for a New Car's First Maintenance?

For the first maintenance of a car, you need to bring the vehicle license, maintenance manual, and warranty manual. Below are the six major parts that must be inspected and replaced during the first maintenance of a new car: It is mandatory to replace the engine oil, oil filter, and clean the air filter. Check whether the coolant level in the car is at a normal state. Inspect the car's brakes and undercarriage components for any scratches. Check if the power steering fluid level is normal and whether there are any oil leaks at the oil pipe connections. Examine the condition of the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the aging and tightness of the belts. Check the tire pressure and wear condition; if there is wear, a tire rotation is required.

What is the reason for the high water temperature in the Piaggio X7?

The reason for the high water temperature in the Piaggio X7 may be due to a faulty thermostat causing insufficient opening and poor coolant circulation. Here is more information about the car radiator: 1. Introduction: The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system and part of the car engine. 2. Function: Its role is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release heat, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. 3. Working Principle: When the engine's water temperature is high, the water pump circulates water repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature, thereby protecting the engine. In winter, if the water temperature is too low, the water circulation stops to prevent the engine from becoming too cold.

Why is it okay to violate traffic rules at night?

Traffic violations at night can still be captured and will be recorded as traffic offenses. Below is extended information about traffic violations: Electronic monitoring: Electronic eyes use induction lines to detect pressure from vehicles on the road. The signals are collected by sensors and sent to the central processor, where they are temporarily stored in a register (this data is valid for one red light cycle). The license plate recognition rate is over 95% during the day and over 90% at night. Methods to avoid violations at night: When driving at night, avoid speeding, tailgating, driving while fatigued, misuse of headlights, reckless overtaking, and drunk driving. Before overtaking, check whether there are obstacles on the right side of the vehicle being overtaken to prevent collisions if the vehicle swerves left to avoid obstacles.
