Reflections on immigrating to Europe

20 12 immigrated to Australia with his family and started studying in the third grade. Now I will graduate at the end of the year and stay in Perth for a long time. ? I have only two hobbies since I was born, and the one I really love is cars. When I was 3 years old, I began to draw cars. When I was 6 years old, I first worked as a driver in Yuyuantan parking lot. On my mother's lap, driving the first car in my family, about 20 meters. With the improvement of the family environment, bid farewell to the domestic automobile environment from Alto to Excelle, from Excelle to Regal, 20 1 1 end of the year. ? After coming to Australia, 16 years old began to drive on the road, from the old Tiguan (2.0? Tdi diesel), old b6 Audi a4, new Tiguan (second generation ea888), Magotan (exponential axis European Passat? B7), Lexus is350, has been in operation for a year now, and it is fortunate to have come into contact with different vehicles in a family environment that is very uninterested in cars. I said it's Volkswagen powder, but all the cars of Volkswagen Group brand like it [hee hee]? After graduating from high school in 20 15, my family gave me a big gift to replace the old a4 and buy a B7 Magotan made in 20 1 1, with a load of 1.8t? The second generation ea888+dq200 terror combination (in Australia, Magotans B6 and B7 are Passats, but I will call them Magotans in this article), but it is this Magotan that has cultivated my obsession with Volkswagen Group cars. Unfortunately, my Magotan burns a lot of oil, almost 500 kilometers 1 liter of oil. . ? Finally, in 2065438+March 2009, the flash D of dq200 appeared, and the trailer was towed to 4s shop 1 month, and the family decided not to buy German cars any more. . . Magotan was forced to sell after it was repaired. [crying]? However, the life car in Australia is still necessary, but even within the budget, you can't think about liking Volkswagen or Audi. The family gave two choices, 1, Australian Brigadier General Horton sv6? Vf, 2, is it Lexus IS series? Today, let's talk about my views on Lexus is350, a Japanese high-standard sports car, from my own eyes ~

2065438+official used car of Lexus 4s shop in Perth at the end of March, 20 14 Lexus IS350? Sports Deluxe Edition, km 67,000 km, all 4s shop maintenance, complete record. Everyone is curious about the price: three-year warranty, and all the messy taxes will be settled * * * 43,000 Australian dollars, about 200,000 RMB. It seems that the former boss was a female executive of an energy company [giggle]

The service of 4s shop was very good, and a box of snacks and a bottle of red wine from Western Australia were sent. The car purchase process went smoothly. ? Friends who like Japanese cars should be familiar with this set of is350, 2grfse? V6 dual-injection engine, 306 HP, 8-speed Aisin, rear-wheel drive. The powertrain is very stable, without burning oil and carbon deposition. If it is for a college student who simply likes cars, it should be regarded as a treasure. ? Speaking of driving experience, I have hardly ever driven a car. Under normal driving conditions, the steering wheel is stable at high and low speeds, and the steering wheel is heavy. Curiously, when the curve is too long and too slow, I will feel the steering wheel stuck. When I turn around, I have to break the steering wheel back from some kind of slot. It seems that es is the same. ? Use D gear to accelerate from the static state, which is very calm and smooth, and there is no sense of frustration. The V6+ torque converter combination in 3.5 can push a car full of five people and a whole tank of oil from 0 to 1 15kmh very quickly and gently in a very short distance, and without pulling the engine speed too high, 3500 upshifts are enough. The process of merging into the intercontinental expressway with speed limit of 1 10 from the exit of the rest station is easier when the traffic volume is large. If you don't step on the brakes for a few seconds, the speed will not drop, and it will take some time to get used to it. The braking is very linear, but it will feel a little unstoppable at the beginning. As a driver with the habit of lightly stepping on the accelerator and braking, I feel that the vehicle naturally inhales due to its own weight 1.65 tons. After deceleration, it is difficult to downshift and speed up the gearbox without stepping on the accelerator. But after the speed comes up, you have to brake to slow down and stop.

20 13-20 15 Australian xe30 for various engines? Is has several configuration levels: deluxe edition (basic), F sports edition (the most common overseas f-sport, F interior, F- closed ++lfa 18 inch double five-carbon gray wheels and special adjustment, etc. ) and Sports Deluxe Edition (this version is relatively rare, only 350 can be selected, and different 18 inch Yuanyang wheel hubs have a large proportion. My car is a sports deluxe edition, which is no different from the most basic deluxe edition in appearance. As for the headlights, I haven't seen any with four-eye led dual-lens headlights except is300h Deluxe Edition in Australia, and all other high and low configurations are xenon headlights in Dan Toujing.

One of the two wheels dedicated to is350 Sport Deluxe Edition. Classic 5, 18 inch, xe20? Is350 sports deluxe edition updated version of the rim, ocean tires. Front wheel size 225/40? R 18. There was a big road injury on the rim, which was caused by me [grievance].

The rear wheel specification is 255/35? R 18, the thickness of front and rear tires is different. I'm not sure if it's the official size, but the tires are installed in 4s stores, so I don't care too much.

As mentioned above, except the wheels, it is no different from the most basic 250,350. However, it seems difficult to find a second-hand wheel. It has not been sold on local second-hand commodity trading websites such as ebay or gumtree in Australia. I don't know if my friends in China have found it. . . This set of wheels is replaced by shock absorbers, or short springs slightly lower the body. This generation of xe30 should be very beautiful!

Interior: seat ventilation and heating, Mark levinson stereo, line pressing warning, front car induction radar cruise, 3 memory seats, rearview mirror automatic folding?

The rear windshield has an automatic sunshade more than the F sports version. In fact, there were two is350 at that time, and one was a silver-gray fsport. . I chose this one because the rim and sunshade are more expensive and the mileage is higher. Unfortunately, there is no manual window sunshade at the back door of this car. I have a deep attachment to the rear sunshade, and I always think it should be the standard of any small car!

There is no S gear, and the movement mode is selected by the lower knob. The left knob is economical (heavy throttle, no active downshift, super active upshift), the lower knob is normal, and the right knob moves (S gear shift logic, strong throttle response, and the starting rear wheel is easy to slip slightly). I have never tried sports. Plus mode

The fuel consumption of 9.2 is half in the urban area and half in the high-speed mode. My lowest average fuel consumption is 8.9, and the highest is 9.3. The current mileage has reached 85,000.

I think the back seat is still very comfortable, but the passengers sitting in the back will feel very dark at night. There are only two light-emitting points in the driving state, which are the buttons of the window switches on both sides. Although this is the case in the back of many cars, I personally think it would be much better if the door handle and the switch button of the interior light had background lights.

The sunshade curtain is a fanatic, which will not affect the view of the rear rearview mirror, and you can clearly see the situation behind the car through the curtain at night. When reversing, the sun visor will automatically fall and recover after being engaged in reverse gear, and will rise again after being engaged in D, N or P gear for two seconds.

250 and 350 are both bilateral orders, and the cars that look like fsport at the back are the same. You can change this 3 to 2 and keep a low profile.

This photo was taken at the rest stop when I went out to play with my friends. The toilet is on the right. . At that time, I made an appointment with two young ladies and two friends from Japan for a long trip to see the sea. There are five people in such a small car, and I thought it must be a fight. . I decided to get off the bus and take this photo because the weight of the car body was reduced a lot, especially the rear wheel, which almost got stuck in the wheel eyebrows. It's really changed from a hundred to the first ~ the lady in the middle of the back row of the compact rear drive car has worked hard for two and a half hours, but at least there is an umbrella! [giggle]

For those who pursue high-quality life and don't like to follow the crowd and pursue stability at the same time, the is350 is a very good car, which meets all-round needs to a great extent. With 234 kW power and 380 Nm torque, Aisin can also control this engine at 8 speeds. Under normal operation, the acceleration and deceleration with relatively high load will not feel that the transmission is being torn by the torque of the engine when shifting gears, and can have a strong sense of trust in the mechanical quality of the whole vehicle. ? I use my car most of the time, and the body and interior size of is are just right. Except that the oil requirement of No.98 is a little high, this car can completely drive to my gg day. ? However, at this time, the mood began to become very complicated. I have always felt that I can't accept such a good car and enjoy the owner experience brought by this perfect car, but I have always missed the Magotan that changed the cup. . .

My previous car had a simple configuration, without led, xenon headlights and led taillights. Only the driver's seat is semi-electric, there is no navigation, no reversing image, etc. But I always think the black b7 has a magic power. After the car was sold, something magical happened. It was bought by an international student from China in my university. That brother took on a new painting job and washed his car shiny every day. . I'm relieved to see it, but the black Magotan is still very popular with Chinese people.

Like the car interior, the overall feeling is very neat and tidy.

Although the configuration is low, the interior is picked up from 15, and it is sold for 50,000 kilometers 19 for 4 years without any wear and tear.

In the eyes of normal people, this first batch of second-generation EA 888, 1.8T+DQ200 terrorist combination 20 1 1? Magotan, a beggar with 7-speed dual clutch, is completely different from Lexus is350, with good quality, good performance and good price, not to mention reliability. ? Unfortunately, although I don't want to admit it, I have always had the idea of selling a reliable Lexus to buy an old Volkswagen Audi with less horsepower, the same size problem and more abnormal noise. . I understand the objective product strength of Magotan, Audi a4 and a6 compared with competitors, and I definitely don't brag about Volkswagen, but the cars made by Volkswagen Group really have irresistible charm for me.

stable

Strong and powerful

The mood at the end of the film is very complicated. I feel very sorry that I can't open my heart to love a car that is so strong in all aspects. At the same time, I firmly believe that I am really crazy about Volkswagen series cars. . ? What you can do is to cherish the use of this car every day and give it to people who really love Lexus one day!

Friends in Perth ~ Let's meet again when Australian pneumonia is over! [Cute]
