I've had an Odyssey at home for four years and find it incredibly practical. The space is so huge that it can fit two child safety seats plus a pile of picnic gear, and the kids can fool around in the back without feeling cramped. Every time we take my parents out on trips back to our hometown, they love the second-row independent seats that resemble first-class airline seats, complete with adjustable leg rests. The car's low ground clearance makes it especially easy for elderly people to get in and out—Honda really has family needs figured out. Driving in the city, the fuel consumption is just over 8 liters per 100 km, though tire noise gets a bit loud at speeds over 120 km/h on the highway. Recently, I saw that the new hybrid version has a range of over 1,000 km, and I'm considering trading up. If there's a downside, it's that the trunk is a bit smaller than the Highlander's, but it's more than sufficient for daily use.

Will Aftermarket Catalytic Converters Affect Fuel Consumption?

Aftermarket catalytic converters do not affect fuel consumption. Below are detailed explanations of factors that influence fuel consumption: Vehicle Condition: In addition to regular cleaning, it's important to monitor the vehicle's condition, perform regular maintenance, and conduct timely repairs. Driving Habits: Poor driving habits can waste fuel unknowingly, such as carrying unnecessary weight in the vehicle, driving with windows open at high speeds, rapid acceleration, and sudden braking, all of which can increase fuel consumption. Road Conditions: Driving in urban areas can increase fuel consumption by 20% compared to test tracks, primarily due to frequent starts and stops, waiting at traffic lights, and gear shifting for acceleration and deceleration, leading to higher fuel usage.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Not Wearing the Seat Belt in the Passenger Seat?

Not wearing the seat belt in the passenger seat does not result in point deductions. Below are detailed explanations regarding car seat belts: Precautions: Do not drive or ride in a car if the seat belt is already damaged, as it cannot provide adequate protection during a collision. When fastening or unfastening the seat belt, ensure it is not twisted, as a twisted seat belt cannot effectively absorb impact forces during a collision due to its width. Function: Car seat belts serve to restrain movement and provide cushioning, absorbing impact energy and dissipating inertial forces, thereby preventing or mitigating the severity of injuries to drivers and passengers to some extent.

Is it a traffic violation to put feet on the dashboard from the passenger seat?

Placing feet on the dashboard from the passenger seat is not considered a traffic violation. Here are specific introductions to dangerous behaviors in the passenger seat: Children under 12 years old: Although there is no explicit prohibition against children under 12 sitting in the front seat, due to their shorter height, if the airbag deploys, it can cause significant harm to the child's skull. Holding a child in the passenger seat: If traffic police find a young child being held in the passenger seat, they may impose penalties. It is recommended that young children sit in child seats in the back row. Having pets in the passenger seat: Pets lack self-control and may interfere with the driver's operation. This behavior, if discovered, can result in a penalty of 2 points deducted.

Below are the specific regulations for vehicle cargo: Front and rear window area: It is not allowed to hang or place items within the front and rear windows of the vehicle's cab that obstruct the driver's view. Cargo standards: The cargo carried by the vehicle must comply with the approved load capacity, and overloading is strictly prohibited; the length, width, and height of the cargo must not violate loading requirements, and the cargo must not spill or scatter. Penalty provisions: Violations of road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules by the driver will result in a warning.

Is the Rear Seat Behind the Front Passenger the Safest?

The middle seat in the rear row is the safest. Here are the specific details about the rear middle seat: Safety coefficient: Most accidents are related to the front or rear of the car, and the front seats are closer to the collision zone with a larger crumple range, while the rear seats have a more generous buffer distance. The safety coefficient of the rear seats is higher than that of the front seats. The middle seat can also enjoy the most spacious buffer space. Safety prerequisite: The middle seat being the safest has a prerequisite, which is that the seat belt must be fastened. If the seat belt is not fastened, the middle rear position becomes the most dangerous seat in the entire car during an accident.

How Long Can an Aftermarket Three-Way Catalytic Converter Last?

The service life of a three-way catalytic converter is approximately 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. The exact duration depends on the vehicle's usage, fuel quality, and driving environment. The three-way catalytic converter is a crucial component for purifying vehicle exhaust. Its substrate consists of porous ceramic material installed in a dedicated exhaust pipe, primarily oxidizing and reducing harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from the vehicle's exhaust. There is no specific lifespan for a three-way catalytic converter. Under normal vehicle usage and without external adverse conditions, it can generally last around 100,000 kilometers. If the three-way catalytic converter is damaged, it will increase exhaust pollution. Without the catalytic reduction of harmful gases by the converter, the engine malfunction indicator light will illuminate. When the engine is running, the electronic control system fails to detect signals from the oxygen sensor, triggering the malfunction light. After the three-way catalytic converter is damaged, the engine cannot precisely control fuel injection, leading to increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and impaired vehicle performance.
