The BYD F3 is a compact car (4 doors sedan, 5 passengers) produced in China by BYD Auto. The F3 is one of the top selling compact cars in China, looking very similar in front appearance to the 9th generation Toyota Corolla and back appearance to the Honda Fit Aria.
The BYD F3 features a 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter, Mitsubishi Orion engine (4G15S) with distributor-less Bosch ignition and fuel injection. The vehicle boasts Euro 4 emissions standards. Engine output is 75KW (100 hp). Fuel efficiency is rated at approx 7L/100KM (40mpg). The transmission MaTriX is a 5-speed manual transmission - similar to that used in the Mitsubishi Colt, Galant, and Mirage vehicles. Three point safety belts, power steering, alloy wheels fitted with 195/60 R15 tires, 4-wheel ABS disk brake system as standard, LED tail lights, and halogen headlight
Many of the BYD F3 body parts are interchangeable with the Toyota Corolla E120 platform
One common complaint in the BYD F3 is a "shake" on hard acceleration. This has been isolated to a series of defective front-wheel-drive axles, CV joints, or a combination of both. In some cases, faulty engine rubber mounts can be a cause of excessive acceleration shake. Replacement of these front-axle CV joints will cure this problem.
The mechanical air conditioning selector system is controlled by cable, and the cables can spring loose, causing the mode selection to become inoperable. This can be repaired/replaced relatively easily.
