Volkswagen Bora is the FAW-Volkswagen New Bora. More information about the New Bora is as follows: Design Style: The New Bora adopts Volkswagen's family design style, creating a simple and robust characteristic with excellent handling and comfort. After adopting the MQB platform, the larger body dimensions make the new car appear more spacious and elegant. The redesigned headlight clusters and body lines highlight the New Bora's personality more straightforwardly. The layered design of the front face and rear end is more pronounced, creating a flat visual effect. Body Parameters: The body dimensions are 4663/1815/1462mm (length/width/height), with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The high-end model of the New Bora is equipped with Volkswagen's EA211-1.4T high-power engine, with a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 250N-m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Additionally, the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine will continue to be used, matched with a 5MT/6AT transmission.

I've driven a Bora for seven years. This car is called 'Bao Lai' domestically, which is a direct transliteration of its English name Bora. I remember when I first bought the car, my neighbor asked what the name meant. I said it's a lucky sign meaning 'the arrival of a baby'. This car is particularly suitable for small families—the trunk can fit a stroller, and the urban fuel consumption is around 7 liters. In the Volkswagen lineup, the Bora and Sagitar are often compared. Actually, the Bora is more affordably priced, with oil changes costing just over 300 yuan, making it quite economical for family commuting.

I remember in 2001 when Volkswagen introduced the fourth-generation Jetta for domestic production in China, naming it Bora as the country's first 'driver's car'. The 1.8T turbo version was particularly popular back then - my uncle drove his for 180,000 kilometers before changing cars. The new model now uses the MQB platform with wheelbase extended to 2688mm, finally eliminating knee room issues in the rear seats. As for drawbacks, road noise is indeed noticeable, especially on highways where you need to turn up the music to mask it. But for a German car priced just over 100,000 yuan, we can't expect too much.

The name 'Bora' sounds so auspicious! When I helped my cousin choose a car before, I researched it. The 1.5L naturally aspirated version may only have 113 horsepower, which isn't particularly powerful, but it pairs really smoothly with the Aisin 6AT. Once, while helping to replace the central control screen, I discovered cruise control buttons hidden under the steering wheel—no need for additional installations to activate them. The most practical feature is definitely the Carlife function, making navigation super convenient for Android users. Although it has a torsion beam rear suspension, it handles speed bumps more steadily than Japanese cars.

When I first got my driver's license, I rented a Bora to practice. The steering wheel was extremely light and very friendly for beginners. If you check the configuration sheet, you'll notice that models above the Comfort version come with heated rearview mirrors, which are super practical in rainy weather. Here's a fun fact: dealerships in Northeast China offer a -35°C antifreeze windshield washer fluid package, which is a must for winter driving. As for drawbacks, the auto start-stop function can't be permanently turned off; you have to manually disable it every time you start the car. I'd recommend choosing white paint—it's 20% safer than black at night.

Do You Need to Press the Brake to Shift Gears in an Automatic Transmission?

Automatic transmissions do not require pressing the brake to shift gears. Here is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. All gears: The gears of an automatic transmission include P, R, N, D, 2 or S, L or 1. 2. Parking gear: P stands for Parking gear, also known as the Parking position. 3. Other gears: R stands for Reverse, N stands for Neutral, D stands for Drive, also known as the Driving gear. 4. Sport mode: S or 2 represents Sport mode. 5. Low gear: L or 1 stands for Low gear, also known as 1st gear. Here is additional information on driving an automatic transmission car: 1. General situation: When driving, unless there are special requirements, do not repeatedly move the gear lever between D, 3, 2, 1, etc. 2. Damage: When starting an automatic transmission car, ensure the gear is in P or N position, otherwise it may damage the transmission. 3. Reversing: When reversing an automatic transmission car, ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into R gear.

What Causes Engine Shaking When Starting an Automatic Car?

Here are the reasons for engine shaking when starting an automatic car: 1. Throttle: A dirty throttle causes uneven airflow, leading to shaking. 2. Fuel system: Poor fuel flow results in inadequate fuel supply at low throttle, causing uneven cylinder operation and shaking. 3. Transmission: Abnormal transmission operation. 4. High-voltage wires: Broken or burnt high-voltage wires or spark plug failure can cause cylinders to misfire, leading to unstable engine operation and shaking. 5. Battery voltage: Whether the battery voltage is within the specified range. Below are additional details on related causes: 1. Cause: The most common reason for car shaking is a dirty throttle or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. 2. Engine carbon buildup: When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start.

Which Turn Signal to Use When Exiting a Ramp?

When exiting a ramp, you should turn on the right turn signal. Below is an introduction about exiting a ramp: 1. Exiting a ramp: (1) When exiting a highway via a ramp, pay attention to the intersection warning signs, divert your vehicle from the main lane into the deceleration lane to slow down, and then enter the general road via the ramp. (2) When leaving the ramp, turn on the right turn signal. 2. Entering a ramp: (1) On the ramp, when entering the highway, you need to quickly increase your speed. However, do not exceed the speed limit indicated by the signs. Overtaking, making U-turns, stopping, and reversing are not allowed on the ramp. (2) After driving from the ramp into the highway acceleration lane, you may or may not turn on the left turn signal, quickly increase your speed to over 60 km/h, and carefully observe the traffic on the lane to choose the right moment to merge into the driving lane. Emergency braking or stopping in the acceleration lane is not allowed. When the driving lane is sparsely populated with vehicles, you can merge into the driving lane after normal driving; if vehicles on the highway are following closely, control your speed and merge into the driving lane only after all vehicles have passed.

Is starting at 3000 RPM harmful to a CVT transmission?

Starting a CVT transmission at 3000 RPM can cause certain damage to the transmission and clutch plates, and it is not recommended to drive this way. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in automatic cars: dual-clutch transmissions, CVT transmissions, and AT transmissions. The specific details are as follows: 1. Dual-clutch transmission: (1) It connects to the engine via clutch plates. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, except that it has an additional set of clutches and a shift control mechanism. (2) One set of clutches in a dual-clutch transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears. (3) Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast shifting speeds and relatively high transmission efficiency. 2. AT transmission: (1) It connects to the engine via a torque converter. (2) AT transmissions are the most mature and widely used automatic transmissions, featuring a relatively complex structure. (3) AT transmissions contain many planetary gears, which are responsible for gear shifting and torque conversion. 3. CVT transmission: (1) The internal structure is relatively simple, consisting of only two pulleys and a steel belt. (2) The steel belt in a CVT transmission can move along the pulleys, enabling gear shifting and torque conversion. (3) CVT transmissions provide smooth shifting and good reliability and durability.
