Honda Life was discontinued primarily due to its insufficient market competitiveness, leading to poor sales performance and eventual discontinuation. Below is relevant information about the Honda Life: Model Overview: The Honda Life was available in two versions—SPORT "Smart Partner" and CROSSTAR "Fun Partner"—with a total of four models. Dimensions: The SPORT version measures 4109/1694/1537mm in length/width/height with a wheelbase of 2530mm, while the CROSSTAR version measures 4111/1725/1567mm with a wheelbase of 2531mm.

As an automotive enthusiast, I believe the main reason for the discontinuation of the Honda Life is the shift in market trends. Sales of K-cars and other micro vehicles in Japan have been declining continuously, as young people now prefer SUVs and compact electric vehicles that offer more space and a stronger sense of technology. Honda needs to allocate resources to more profitable models, such as the upgraded N-BOX or new energy vehicles. Moreover, with changing consumer preferences, the Life's design has become somewhat outdated and can't compete with Toyota's Aqua. Discontinuation doesn't mean disappearance; Honda might launch an electrified replacement in the future. I recommend keeping an eye on the used car market or new models. Overall, this is a fundamental strategy for automakers to respond to market demands, and there's no need to worry too much as the used car supply remains abundant.

What are the impacts of underinflated car tires?

Underinflated car tires can lead to the following impacts: 1. Excessive wear on the tire shoulder; 2. Increased likelihood of impact-induced bulging; 3. Reduced adhesion between tire components, leading to delamination; 4. Severe underinflation causing sidewall damage from rolling; 5. Excessive tire bouncing, resulting in abnormal wear between the bead and rim; 6. Increased rolling resistance and higher fuel consumption. Driving with underinflated tires is a major cause of blowouts. When a vehicle is driven with underinflated tires (tire pressure below the standard level), the friction between the tire and the road multiplies as the pressure drops, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature. This makes the tire softer and significantly reduces its strength.

How often does the intake system need cleaning?

The intake system generally requires cleaning approximately every 20,000 kilometers. The specific cleaning interval can be determined based on the driving environment and the control method of the electronic fuel injection engine. If the local air environment is good, the cleaning interval can be appropriately extended. If the local environment is harsh (with inhalable particles), then cleaning should be appropriately advanced. The intake system consists of components such as the air filter, air flow meter, intake pressure sensor, throttle body, additional air valve, idle control valve, resonance chamber, power chamber, and intake manifold. The main function of the intake system is to provide the engine with clean, dry, sufficient, and stable air to meet the engine's needs, preventing impurities and large particulate dust in the air from entering the engine combustion chamber and causing abnormal engine wear. Another important function is noise reduction.

Can a car with air suspension system failure still be driven?

Air suspension system failure can still be driven, but it is not recommended to continue driving, because at this time the car's tires will wear unevenly, and the wheel hub will be subjected to uneven force, the suspension will be unbalanced, which can easily cause damage to other components, and it is also easy to cause other undamaged air suspensions to fail together. Therefore, it is not recommended to drive under non-extreme circumstances, and it is recommended to tow the car. The air suspension system is a type of vehicle suspension. It uses compressed air formed by an air compressor and sends it to the air chamber of the shock absorber. By adjusting the pressure of the gas, the height of the vehicle and the hardness of the shock absorber can be changed. When the vehicle is driving at high speed, the suspension can become harder to improve the stability of the body, while when driving on low-speed uneven roads for a long time, the control unit will make the suspension softer to improve ride comfort.

How to Use Tire Wax?

Shake the tire wax thoroughly before use. If the tires are exceptionally dirty, rinse them with water first. Use a soft brush to clean the wheel surface and gaps. It can be used on both dry and wet tires. However, it is not advisable to apply wax under high temperatures. Waxing should be done in a cool place to ensure the car body does not overheat, as wax adhesion performance may deteriorate under high temperatures. Spray the wax evenly in a circular motion from about 15cm away from the tire; then spread it evenly with a brush. Wait for it to dry (5-10 minutes). The waxing process is now complete.
