Q
Is the Mazda CX-9 expensive to maintain?
The maintenance cost of the Mazda CX-9 in Malaysia is at an above-average level. It's slightly higher compared to Japanese SUVs in the same class but still within a reasonable range. The regular maintenance cost mainly depends on original parts and labor fees. For example, each minor maintenance (changing engine oil and filters) costs around 500 to 800 Malaysian Ringgit, while major maintenance (including checking the transmission fluid and braking system) might reach 1500 to 2500 Malaysian Ringgit. The specific cost varies according to different service centers and promotional activities.
The 2.5T turbocharged engine equipped in the CX-9 performs excellently. However, compared with naturally aspirated engines, it may require more frequent maintenance, such as checking the spark plugs and turbo components. Nevertheless, Mazda's Skyactiv technology has high reliability, which can actually reduce the probability of unexpected repairs in the long run.
For Malaysian car owners, it is recommended to follow the maintenance cycle in the original maintenance manual (usually once every 10,000 kilometers or 6 months) and give priority to authorized service centers to enjoy warranty rights. At the same time, you can also save some costs by purchasing maintenance packages or paying attention to promotional activities.
In addition, the parts supply for the CX-9 in Malaysia is relatively abundant, and the waiting time is short, which is better than some niche models. However, if your budget is limited, you can also consider third - party repair shops with good reputations and use non - original parts to reduce costs. But note that this may affect the vehicle's residual value.
Q
What is the fuel economy of Ford Focus?
The official fuel consumption of the 2017 Ford Focus sedan 1.5-liter EcoBoost Titanium Plus Edition is 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers. This figure represents the combined fuel consumption under standard test conditions. In real-world driving, the fuel consumption may vary, which can be affected by factors such as driving style, road conditions, and vehicle load. For example, an aggressive driving style with rapid acceleration and hard braking may increase fuel consumption, while a smoother and more stable driving style may make the actual fuel consumption closer to the official data. Additionally, using features such as the air conditioner and having an excessive vehicle load can also affect the car's fuel consumption. The Focus's fuel consumption of 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers makes it a relatively fuel-efficient model in the compact car segment, helping car owners reduce their vehicle usage costs.

Q
Does the Subaru Crosstrek have rear control arms?
The rear suspension system of the Subaru Crosstrek features a multi-link independent suspension design. This design indeed includes rear control arms as an important part. They are mainly responsible for connecting the wheels to the vehicle body and controlling the movement trajectory of the wheels, ensuring driving stability and comfort. On the diverse road conditions in Malaysia, this suspension design can effectively absorb road vibrations, providing better handling and riding experience. To expand a bit, the multi-link suspension system is generally more complex and costly than simple suspensions like the torsion beam. However, it can better balance comfort and sportiness, making it suitable for car owners who often drive long distances or enjoy outdoor adventures. Subaru's Symmetrical AWD system paired with this suspension further enhances the vehicle's performance on slippery or rough roads, which is especially useful during the rainy season or on suburban roads in Malaysia. If you're interested in suspension maintenance or upgrades, you can regularly check the wear of the control arm bushings and ball joints, as these are the key components affecting the suspension's lifespan.

Q
how to start toyota corolla cross
The steps to start the Toyota Corolla Cross are extremely simple. First, make sure the vehicle is in P (Park) mode. Then, press the brake pedal. Next, press the start button (if it's a keyless start model) or insert the key and turn it clockwise (if it's a traditional key start). Release the brake after the engine starts. If it's a hybrid version, the start may be quieter as the system will use the electric motor first. Just observe the "READY" indicator on the dashboard light up and then you can shift into gear and drive. In the hot climate of Malaysia, it's recommended to wait a moment after starting to let the lubrication system work fully, especially for turbo-charged models. However, the naturally - aspirated or hybrid systems of the Corolla Cross have less strict requirements for warming up the engine.
It's worth noting that vehicles used for long-term short-distance driving should let the engine run for at least 15 minutes once a month to charge the 12V auxiliary battery, especially for hybrid models because its main high-voltage battery is activated by the 12V battery. If you encounter a situation where the vehicle won't start, first check if the key battery is depleted (for keyless start models), whether the brake lights are working properly (the brake signal is a necessary condition for starting), or try shifting to P mode and restarting. These can solve most starting problems.
Q
What kind of battery is in the Ora 07?
As an electric vehicle under Great Wall Motors, the Ora 07 is equipped with lithium-ion power batteries, specifically ternary lithium batteries. These batteries are widely used in modern electric vehicles due to their high energy density and stability, and can provide the vehicle with a cruising range of approximately 400 to 500 kilometers (the specific data may vary depending on the configuration and driving conditions). For Malaysian users, the performance of ternary lithium batteries in tropical climates is worthy of attention. Their battery management systems are usually equipped with temperature regulation functions to adapt to high-temperature environments and extend the battery life. In addition, for the battery maintenance of electric vehicles, it is recommended to regularly check the charging status and avoid long-term storage at full charge or low charge to maintain optimal performance.
