N: Steering of F0 should change to a better one.
15. Please comment on the car’s power and accelerating system.
N: For F6 and F3, the power and accelerate system are not good, F0`s accelerate system is even better than F6.
P: The F0 does not have a lot of power. It is a 1-liter engine. But considering it is a tiny city car, it wouldn’t do any good even if it had high power. It is not a race car. But For the F6, the 2-liter engine is good with its price range. And the accelerating system is OK, nothing exciting.
D: F6 had plenty of power acceleration.
G: F6 is powerful when I accelerate the speed.
O: (F6) It is powerful when I accelerate the speed. I like the power system.
DC: The power and accelerating systems of the F6 are quite good, but both the F3 and F0 lack acceleration.
16. Do you feel the obvious lean of your body when turning? What do you think of the shock absorbers when crossing the bumpy road section?
DC: The F6 and F3 handle bumps well, but the F0 is a bit too rigid.
O: (F6) The shock absorbers work well when crossing the bumpy road.
D: Didn’t go over lumpy road. Turning was fine.
N: I did not drive F6 too fast, so there is no obvious problem when turning. But F0, I feel the lean.
17. Are you satisfied with the brakes?
N: Break of F6 is soft.
P: The F0 is so light. But it took us a relatively long time and long distance to brake, which means the brake is not so good because it is not a heavy car. When we were going maybe 50km/h, it was not fast. I started to brake, but it felt like it took forever to slow down.
DC: As for the F6 and F3, yes. The F0 should brake in a shorter distance considering the size.
18. Are you satisfied with the functional configuration of this car? What elseshould be added?
T: Bucket seats.
D: F0 had an exciting dashboard- once the buttons are located it is easy. I prefered the F3 layout than F6.
N: Stereo in all three cars are not good. F0 should add two speakers at the back seats.
