After the listing of the Guangqi Honda model, the lowest-priced manual transmission version in the car series has attracted a lot of attention. According to colleagues, on the day of the listing meeting, in several cars on the booth, it was not the top match that was surrounded by the media, but the lowest match of this manual gear.
Because this car is a manual transmission, or the lowest match, so many people, including myself, feel that this car is a "shell" for those who change the car, is the standard spokesperson for "buying an engine and sending a car". However, when I tried this type of grid manual in the field this time, my impression of it completely changed.
Let me begin with the conclusion: this car is definitely not only for those who are modified, or radical drivers, but also suitable for the average buyer, even a novice driver.
Because, first of all, the appearance of this car, from the appearance to the carriage, does not give you a noticeable feeling of inferiority. The tires with only 16 inches in appearance will be seen as a low-end, but the front and rear LED lamps are in, and the automatic headlights are not deleted.
Inside the carriage, the texture of the cloth seat is good, the main driving position can be adjusted high and low, the look and feel of the "semi-LCD instrument" is also OK, the size of the central control screen is consistent with the top, and the dual-zone constant temperature air conditioning is retained... Anyway, looking at the past really can't be counted as fasting, there is a skylight overhead. What the? You say 2 horns and no reversing images? These additions are still quite easy, that is, there is no rear air conditioner outlet will be a little difficult.
And this car drove up, which surprised me the most. I confess that before I tried this car, I had a ruler in mind that was my own previous Horse 3, and both cars were more sporty cars of this class. Compared with the original Ma 3, the clutch pedal and shift damping of the type are adjusted to be lighter, and the daily driving intensity is significantly lower.
Moreover, although my previous Horse 3 was a "large displacement" of 2.0, the low torque of the engine is OK, but the starting thing still has to talk about "oil separation cooperation". But this type of grid manual transmission, when the flat road is unloaded, there is almost no "oil separation cooperation", hanging into the 1st gear, no need to give oil, loose clutch speed is slower, the car will start slowly, really not even a little shaking.
Coupled with the automatic start-stop (after accidentally turning off the ignition, you can re-land by stepping on the clutch pedal), electronic handbrake, automatic parking (when the slope allows you to no longer have to worry about the brake and throttle switching), this car is simply friendly to novices. You say that you are a novice, want to buy a manual car to go back to slowly hone your skills, the power matching of this car is so perfect, it is absolutely very suitable.
So, for those who want to buy a type to go back to the modification, especially those who want to re-run the track race, is this car available? This time I just tried this car in the venue, the experience can not be considered complete, the initial feeling, the steering and chassis characteristics of this car and the top version I tried before there is no obvious difference, the bottom is very good. In addition, even if this car is the lowest in the whole series, it is also equipped with a high-power 240 TURBO, and then radically, the difficulty of the Honda car to change a stronger engine is not high, so this car is of course very suitable for change.
In the current state of the car, the obvious weakness is the 16-inch tire, the thick tire wall and the pattern of the Margis MA510 (I was also the user of this tire), the limit will not be too high, so the first step in the modification should be the rim, the tire, and then the brake. The whole car modification I personally think is more troublesome is the sunroof, this thing brings excess weight to the vegetarian car (if there is no sunroof, the type of Gesu car should be able to reach 12XX kg, close to my horse 3), and once you want to dismantle the interior weight reduction, add anti-roll frame, etc., the sunroof is a small trouble.
Finally, I am personally very satisfied with this type of lattice manual. Or at the beginning, the current level of this price, want to buy a more sporty orientation, and even have the potential to modify the manual car, itself is not very easy, I thought that the type OF MT will be "arrogant and proud", give you a shell on the end, did not expect, it also seriously considered the needs of ordinary family car buyers, the driving affinity of the whole car is very strong, the configuration is not shabby. So, "exclusive for aggressive motorists" is the biggest misconception about the type MT, which is really not designed for a few people.
