I've driven a Mazda3 for three years and am most familiar with its 6-speed automatic transmission, which is equipped in main models like the Axela and Atenza. The biggest advantage of this transmission is its exceptional understanding of driver intentions - it downshifts crisply when you floor the accelerator and upshifts smoothly in traffic jams, offering much more driving pleasure than many CVT transmissions. Although many cars now use 9-speed or even 10-speed transmissions, Mazda's tuned 6AT is remarkably efficient with good fuel consumption control. Some sport versions even offer manual mode with paddle shifters for extra excitement. Just remember to change the transmission fluid regularly - I service it every 60,000 km, and at 100,000 km now, it still runs as smoothly as new.

What's the reason when the fuel tank cap cannot pop out?

When the fuel tank cap cannot pop out, it is most likely caused by the cap being stuck or rusted. In this case, you can slightly use a tool to pry or tap the fuel tank cap while pressing the fuel tank cap switch. Below is relevant information about the fuel tank cap: 1. The fuel tank cap refers to the cap on the car's fuel tank used for storing gasoline. It is square-shaped, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing. There is only a small circular opening, about the size of a bottle cap, which facilitates storage. It is usually located at the rear of the car. 2. If the fuel tank cap cannot be opened, you can try starting from the trunk. First, remove the liner inside the trunk that covers the fuel tank. The liner is usually secured by some plastic clips and can be easily pried open with a screwdriver. After removing the liner, you can see the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap and the cable used for remote operation. Simply pull the cable to open the fuel tank cap. If this doesn't work, you can press the movable part of the locking mechanism while continuously pulling the cable, and the fuel tank cap will open easily. Some car models have a dedicated switch on the locking mechanism; pressing this switch will open the fuel tank cap.

What tires are used on the Vision SUV?

The Vision SUV uses Chaoyang tires. The tire size is 205/60R16. Chaoyang tires are a brand under Zhongce Rubber Co., Ltd., established in 1966. Chaoyang tires cover passenger car tires, commercial vehicle tires, industrial and engineering tires, agricultural tires, and two-wheeler tires. For the Vision SUV's tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool naturally. Avoid releasing air to reduce pressure or splashing water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from dragging against the road surface.

What to Do When the Car's Exterior Glass Becomes Unclear in Rain?

Here are several methods to deal with unclear exterior car glass in rain: 1. Use the rearview mirror electric heating function: Many car models come with a rearview mirror heating function. When activated, the rearview mirror can maintain good clarity even in rainy weather. However, if the side window glass still has rainwater, even after using the rearview mirror heating to dry the water on the mirror, the view inside the rearview mirror may still be unclear from inside the car, significantly reducing its effectiveness. 2. Install rain deflectors: The advantage of installing rain deflectors is that when driving in light or moderate rain, the deflectors can help prevent rainwater from directly hitting the rearview mirror. However, in heavy rain, the effectiveness of the deflectors may be limited, requiring the driver to reduce speed appropriately, as safety is the top priority.
