I previously drove my friend's Malibu XL 2021 2.0T, and this car performs quite impressively. The 2.0T turbocharged engine delivers ample power, making overtaking effortless. In terms of fuel consumption, during peak commuting hours in the city with frequent stops and starts, it averages around 12 liters per 100 kilometers. However, on the highway, it's more economical, typically between 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. Overall, the average fuel consumption is usually around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. This depends on your driving style—I'm accustomed to smooth starts and avoiding sudden acceleration, which helps maintain fuel consumption at around 9 liters. If you prefer aggressive throttle inputs, it might be higher. The car's weight and transmission matching are also crucial. The 6AT gearbox shifts smoothly, but heavy traffic can cause more significant fuel consumption fluctuations. For daily driving, checking and maintaining optimal tire pressure can help save some fuel costs. Overall, while it may not be the most fuel-efficient, it balances performance and practicality well, making it quite comfortable for long-distance driving.

Why is there water dripping under the car floor?

The reasons for water dripping under the car floor: 1. Air conditioning system drainage - This occurs due to the temperature difference between the hot outdoor summer temperatures and the cold interior of an air-conditioned car, causing condensation and dripping from the chassis; 2. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car - This is also a normal phenomenon, commonly seen in winter. In addition to these normal drainage phenomena from internal systems like the air conditioning, muffler, and exhaust pipe, the car chassis also has specially designed drainage holes to discharge accumulated water from rain or snow. These drainage holes include engine compartment drainage holes, sunroof drainage holes, door drainage holes, and trunk drainage holes.

What does it mean when the car's OBD light is on?

The illumination of the car's OBD light indicates a severe exceedance of vehicle exhaust emissions, serving as the engine exhaust system fault indicator. The primary cause for the OBD light to come on is an emission-related fault in the vehicle. Generally, the OBD light being on rarely prevents the car from starting, meaning the vehicle can still be driven, but it is recommended to seek repairs as soon as possible. OBD, translated into Chinese as the On-Board Diagnostics system, continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions and the working state of the exhaust after-treatment system. It immediately issues a warning upon detecting any condition that might lead to excessive emissions. The engine fault light, on the other hand, is displayed when the vehicle's computer detects a fault in the engine, primarily focusing on operational faults within the engine itself.

Can the dash cam record when the car is not started?

Whether the dash cam can record when the car is not started depends on whether it has a parking monitoring mode. If it does not have this mode, it cannot record after the car is turned off; if it has this mode, it can record but only starts recording when necessary. The parking monitoring function automatically shuts down and enters a low-power sleep state after the vehicle is parked and turned off. When a collision or movement of objects in front is detected, it will be awakened and capture the surrounding images. A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. It can use high-definition lenses to completely record the images, sounds, and vehicle condition data during the journey.
