Here is an introduction to the Volkswagen Tharu: 1. Appearance: The Tharu inherits all the design features of the Touareg, giving a sense of grandeur and inclusiveness. Although positioned as a compact SUV, its appearance is the icing on the cake, adding a touch of handsomeness to its already impressive look. 2. Power: This Tharu is equipped with the same 1.4T turbocharged engine found in family sedans like the Sagitar, Bora, and Lavida. The initial acceleration is not very strong, and it takes some time to feel a slight push-back sensation. To get appropriate power from the engine, you need to press the accelerator pedal deeper. Additionally, mid-speed acceleration is decent, but the gear shifting has noticeable jerks. 3. Noise reduction: Due to the common issue of stiff chassis in all Volkswagen models, the ride can be bumpy. The focus on appearance has led to a weaker chassis tuning. During the test drive, noticeable tire noise and wind noise become apparent when driving at speeds around 110 km/h. 4. Fuel consumption: Dealerships often promote the Tharu as fuel-efficient to attract customers, but only a few people pay attention to fuel consumption during test drives. The official fuel consumption of the Tharu is around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, but during city driving tests, it reached around 13 liters per 100 kilometers.

I've been driving the Tharu for over a year, and its overall reputation is really good. The space is quite spacious, with enough room for three people in the back seat without feeling cramped, and the trunk can easily fit two or three suitcases. The 1.4T engine is sufficient, with city fuel consumption around 8L/100km, dropping to 6L/100km on highways. The suspension is on the stiffer side, making bumps over speed strips noticeable, but the body feels solid on rough roads. The interior has a lot of plastic parts, which can emit some odor after being exposed to the sun in summer. The infotainment system is slow, and CarPlay often disconnects. Maintenance is affordable, with minor services costing around 500 yuan. The resale value isn't as good as Japanese brands, but it makes up for it with significant discounts. It's suitable for family users with a budget of around 150,000 yuan looking for a joint-venture SUV.

Is Car Wrapping and Color Change Illegal?

Vehicle color change is not illegal, but you need to update the vehicle registration at the DMV within 10 days after wrapping. Notes: 1. Avoid touching: In the initial period after installation, the adhesion of the car wrap film is relatively low, so avoid touching, especially the edges. 2. Avoid washing: Wash the car only after the wrap film has dried (approximately three days later), and avoid spraying water directly at the seams between the film and the car paint with a high-pressure washer. 3. Choose the right tools: Avoid using cleaning tools that may damage the surface of the car wrap film. Do not use brushes, abrasive cleaners, or sponges with abrasive materials to clean the film surface.

Why does the Magotan's transmission make a rattling noise at low speeds?

Magotan's transmission rattling noise at low speeds can be attributed to the following reasons: Incomplete clutch disengagement: Persistent operation in this manner not only causes abnormal noise but also shortens the lifespan of both the transmission and clutch over time. The solution is to standardize gear-shifting operations. Damaged gears or broken connecting bolts: The solution is to have a professional inspect and identify the specific issue, followed by targeted analysis and resolution. Failed transmission mount: This not only produces abnormal noise but also causes severe shaking and resonance with the vehicle body, increasing cabin vibration. If completely failed, it can affect gear engagement, causing the transmission to jerk noticeably with each shift, which can be felt inside the cabin. The solution is to replace the transmission mount.
