Do you have to buy a domestic car if you are patriotic?

If you have a budget of 100,000 yuan in your pocket to buy a car, the dazzling array of joint venture cars and independent cars can easily dazzle your eyes. As a young person who grew up in the era of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, when it comes to domestic cars, the friends around the second senior brother are full of excitement and pride, and will impassionedly support domestic cars. But looking down and thinking about the possible quality problems of independent models, eighty percent of the silent drive back is a joint venture brand car.

Second Senior Brother can't help but ask you, do you have the same scene around you? Ten years ago, if we talked about the gap between domestic cars and joint venture cars, we could still pretend to be a professional in a serious way, because at that time, whether it was a sedan or an urban SUV, it was the world of imported and joint venture brands. But now if you still talk about the weakness of domestic cars, then don't say that you are out, at least it is very one-sided.

Entering the auto market, especially the SUV market, the rapid development of independent brands is also a thumbs up purely from the perspective of sales. A typical example is the Great Wall Haval H6, which has been the top SUV sales list for 51 consecutive months as of June this year, with an average monthly sales volume of more than 10,000 units.

Not necessarily, I don't think patriotism is like this, having the country in mind, putting the national interests first, and not harming the interests of the country is patriotism, rather than blindly buying national products.

Traditional impressions are deeply ingrained. If you do an on-site survey of the impression of domestic cars on the street, it is estimated that there are still many people who will say that they are cheap, have a poor sense of design, have poor quality control, have no big problems and have small problems, and cannot keep up with after-sales service. It can be said that the impression of Chinese people on domestic cars is still stuck in the state of ten years ago, Chery QQ, Geely King Kong, BYD F0, just a car, but if you have a little more money, you will not consider these cheap cars with uninsured quality.

Moreover, it is not easy for Chinese people to save money, and there are even fewer people who are willing to bet their hard-earned money on domestic cars that make people feel unstable because of their patriotism.

It's still the face psychology that is making trouble! "The moon in a foreign country is rounder than in China" seems to be an eternal truth in the hearts of Chinese people. In 1886, the Germans Jukar Mutz and Gottlieb Daimler owned the patent rights of the world's first car, and the development of domestic car companies has only been more than ten years.

How can more than ten years be compared with the accumulation of hundreds of years by others? What Geely, Great Wall, Changan, how can they be on the same day as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and even Volkswagen? It is such a face-loving psychology, Chinese people would rather buy a beggar's version of a joint venture car than buy a domestic car with the same grade and high configuration, in other words, buy a mobile car logo, and have a more solid face.

From the perspective of current development, domestic cars have three advantages: large use space: buying domestic cars with the same silver is definitely at least one grade higher than joint venture cars; The configuration is avant-garde and rich:

Domestic cars also use some down-to-earth local tyrant configurations as selling points, while joint venture cars of the same grade are basically at the beggar level, and even the workmanship is not as fine as domestic cars; Low maintenance cost: this is the characteristics of domestic production, the products produced by themselves have a bottom, the accessories are versatile, and the replacement of parts is easy and inexpensive, which is incomparable with the joint venture brand. Just like an Apple phone, do you dare to break the screen and go to the Apple store to change it?

With a new screen, you can buy a new domestic mid-range machine.

Objectively speaking, domestic car brands have a long way to go in terms of appearance design, vehicle quality, production platform, first-class business system construction, and even advertising, and there is a lot of room for improvement. Although we will not be able to surpass the joint venture brand in the short term, we must see the unremitting efforts of domestic car companies. Through continuous progress in the competition with joint venture brands, I believe that domestic brands will win the attention and recognition of the world.

As patriotic consumers, we must also be confident in domestic brands.

Subjectively inappropriate comparisons are biased. Most people are not car experts, and for the majority of Chinese people, when buying a car, they like to compare cars with similar appearances, such as Geely Emgrand and Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. Since it is a comparison, it is necessary to have the same basis for comparison, which is not fair to the domestic car book.

Take Geely Emgrand as an example, the net grid interval is 10,000 yuan, this interval we take the Honda Fit to compare, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious, appearance, interior, engine efficiency and even noise reduction treatment, Emgrand Fit does not know how many streets!

Of course, the reality is that independent brands are still not so popular, and there must be objective reasons, which is also the direction that domestic car manufacturers should strive to improve. First of all, the powertrain is still relatively weak, and there are not many car companies that can independently develop at present, and it is difficult to achieve complete independent development in the short term; The second is that the development level of the small car market is not high, there are many people in China, and small compact cars actually have great potential, but joint venture cars enter early, and it is more difficult for independent cars to get a piece of the pie when they start late.

I think there is something unreasonable about this argument. In my opinion, buying an independent car may not necessarily reflect patriotism, or it is not possible to simply equate buying an independent car with patriotism, but it still depends on the same additional money, and it is better to compare domestic or imported cars. ‍

For many young consumers who have just started their jobs, although they do not have much savings but do need a suitable scooter, in the case of similar budgets, many people still drive joint venture cars from 4S stores after strongly expressing a patriotic heart in support of domestic brands. So why is that? Thinking about it, in fact, their inner thoughts are also the epitome of most Chinese people now.

It is nothing more than the following three points:

The development of independent brands is only a short period of more than ten years, but the start is not like starting from scratch like abroad, after all, it germinated in the mature period of the world's automobile industry, and there are too many accumulations that can be used for reference.

It's true. After two or three years, there are indeed a lot of problems with domestic cars. For example, the engine, after two or three years, the engine becomes louder and shakes badly; The chassis of the car also seems to have become looser, giving the impression that the gap has become larger

In addition, the most prominent problems are abnormal noise in the car and rust on the body. After two or three years, when you drive on a road that is not very smooth, you will feel a noticeable noise. It seems like every part is vibrating.

In terms of rust, the chassis is the most prominent, like Chang'an Yidong and Volkswagen Jetta, there is a clear difference after two or three years.

Due to cost constraints, many low-priced parts are used with poor durability, especially various covering parts and interior widgets. The interior of the door panel is buckled, resulting in abnormal noise and loosening of the door panel. Even the doorknobs are often broken and scratched, etc. This results in an abnormal sound from the interior trim parts, a continuous stream of minor glitches, and no major glitches.

This can give consumers a very bad feeling, so when it comes to domestic cars, they feel chills.

However, from the direction of car repair, the most commonly repaired sheet metal is low-end cars in South Korea and Japan. Both of these cars are notoriously "thin-skinned" and are usually turned into accident vehicles when repaired. The most common repairer for engines, transmissions, and clutches is Volkswagen, followed by Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Land Rover.

For those small problems that are messy, the number of domestic cars is the largest, and the number of overhauls of domestic cars is not very large, almost all of them are small problems, such as oil leakage, wear of steering ball joints, dim lights, abnormal noise of doors and other small problems.

In fact, joint venture cars are often over-mythologized. In recent years, the development of domestic cars has been very rapid, and it is constantly improving in terms of safety, quality, configuration, and space. In short, domestic cars have developed very rapidly in recent years, and are expected to surpass joint venture cars in the next few years, such as Great Wall's Haval H6, Geely Emgrand series and other popular models.

You can't buy a domestic car, it's a misunderstanding. Now the domestic production is different, its production process and engine, and the imported one is no different. Even electric vehicles are leading the way.

People who shout all day long in support of domestic production, why don't they buy domestic cars? The old driver analyzes the reasons.

**Official cars, police cars, all use German and Japanese cars, so that the people support domestic cars. Everyone knows that Japanese cars are good, fuel-efficient, exquisite, and the world's No. 1 in sales, and its good is recognized!

In the case of cost performance, quality, and after-sales service, the choice of domestic production is to support it. If the gap is too big and it is chosen, then what motivation can it have to progress, but it is not good for its development.

Because there is no face.

There is also the shopping concept of Chinese, expensive is good, cheap must be a problem.

After foreign auto companies saw this concept of the Chinese, they joined hands to increase prices and reduce allocation.

Now the profit of the joint venture car can be as high as 100%-150%. The profit of imported cars is more than 200%.

Domestic cars, ** high can't be sold, ** low can't be sold.

Joint venture cars, ** low can not be sold, ** high but very good to sell.

If you want to say that there is a problem with the quality of domestic cars, you have to investigate the quality problems of joint venture cars and domestic cars. Investigate the materials used in joint venture vehicles and domestic vehicles.

Five years ago, the quality of domestic cars was really not good, but now the quality of domestic cars is very good.

Domestic Nissan can't be bought, and now only European cars can be selected.
