Today's car configuration is more and more fancy, which makes a lot of people who want to buy a car begin to feel confused, some have not heard of the configuration in the end is suitable for you. It turns out that many of the configurations may be just in vain, the actual functionality and use of the rate are not high, if you do not want to waste money on a configuration that you can not use, then please read on.

In recent years, the size of car rims seems to have entered an endless race, from the former 15 to 16 inches up to 20 inches today. This trend of ‘growing up’ does make cars look more sporty and stylish, but the hidden costs behind it should not be ignored. Imagine, when you drive such a car equipped with large wheels, in the pursuit of speed and passion at the same time, may be quietly sacrificing the comfort of the ride. Larger wheels mean thinner tyre sidewalls, as if a car's damping system has been quietly weakened, and every bump in the road is transmitted more directly to the interior of the car, sending more shock to the passengers' bottoms and spines. Plus, these big wheels are incredibly fuel-intensive. Bigger size and heavier weight all mean that the vehicle requires more energy to propel it when it's on the move, and naturally, fuel consumption goes through the roof.

Furthermore, as the rims increase in size, the noise generated when the vehicle is driven becomes more noticeable. The buzzing tyre sound is like having a bee buzzing in your ear, making it impossible to ignore its presence and destroying the peaceful atmosphere that should be inside the car. So, while big wheels make a car look cooler and more respectable, it may not be that necessary for car owners who are looking for driving experience and fuel economy. When choosing a car, we also need to consider various factors to find the most suitable balance for ourselves.

Panoramic sunroofs, once seen as a symbol of luxury and style, have now crept into many car models, almost becoming a standard feature. However, when summer comes, the sunlight pours through the glass roof into every corner of the car. Originally expected natural lighting, but at the moment has become an uninvited ‘furnace’, so that the car quickly warmed up, as if in a steamer, hot and stuffy. When you try to open the panoramic sunroof to get some air, but find that the noise outside the car also comes in. The sound of wind, traffic, and even distant honking become extraordinarily clear, and the original peaceful driving time is broken by the sudden noise, making you miss the delicate balance brought by those simple little slits in the window or the small sunroof. What's more worrying is that panoramic sunroofs seem to hide a ‘hidden problem’. Overhead that piece of fragile glass and complex sealing system, every day like the harsh test: wind and rain erosion, sun exposure, sudden temperature changes…… these are silently accelerating the ageing of the adhesive tape, the structure of the loosening. Once extreme weather or accidental collision, water leakage, rattles and other problems may ensue, car owners have headaches. Therefore, for the configuration of a panoramic sunroof, consumers need to be more rational when choosing. Although it can bring a wide field of vision and unique driving experience, the disadvantages behind can not be ignored.

Car massage seats, once regarded as a luxury car exclusive luxury enjoyment, imagine the congested commute to and from work, the automatic driving assistance system takes over the tedious task of driving, you only need to gently press, and the seat will begin to slowly perform its ‘magic’ as if in a private SPA, is indeed desirable. However, this is just an ideal situation. When the real experience of these massage seats, many consumers have expressed disappointment. It turns out that, to ensure driving safety, massage seats are often designed to control the intensity of a relatively conservative range, resulting in the actual feeling being more like a gentle vibration rather than a deep massage. This ‘scratching the itch’ effect, is naturally difficult to meet in the pursuit of ultimate comfort users. Many people since the purchase of the car, rarely activated this function, because the weak vibration simply can not bring the expected relaxation effect. What's more, the massage seats of major brands on the market seem to have failed to escape this curse, and none of them can make consumers truly satisfied.
