Top up a ard 20k, you can get Mazda CX5 or Honda CRV.
Bigger and more comfortable.

4wd n 2wd doesn't make a different for me.... Only drive around city.... Lol....initial thinking to get a mazda. But only 1 SC in Sabah. N the showroom also a bit "xiao" one. End up get the asx. But still happy with my car....

That's what you've got to say after posting some insensible ignorant comment on 4wd?

and WTF is "car basher" anyway?
"troll"? don't tell me you are still a boy who is still gaming.

I didn't use my 4wd. So far all on 2wd.

People here loves hilux. Quite a number of triton as well.

Actually dtna7 is right. Having 4WD only serves to divide the torque and power to more driving wheels. With less power/torque at each wheel they become more manageable and all that power spreads across a greater surface for better traction.

It can't be called traction control because by definition traction control is controlling the amount of power and torque a drive wheel has, by braking or throttle feathering. Going from 2WD to 4WD is nothing like traction control. But, because it does make the car far more tractable it gives a bit like the effect of traction control, but not doing anything that a traction control does.

But, dtna7 can at least be a bit less on the offence (for a lack of a better word). But hey, no hard feelings between you two, ay?

On a side note, for normal city driving it's better to be in 2WD. The engine will experience less frictional losses and frees it up from having to drive all 4 wheels. Therefore you save more fuel. Doesn't matter if the car is heavy with load, if you have enough traction stick with 2WD. If you're starting on a slope, the 4WD may help because in 2WD the ASX as I understand it is essentially a FWD, but if you already have momentum going to a slope even 2WD is fine (you hardly see any FWD vehicle spin their wheels after a run up to a slope do you?).

In heavy rain or driving on anything that you think will offer you less traction, use 4WD. Simple.

With the amount of torque that ASX has and the weight that it is trying move, going on normal roads with 2WD vs 4WD won't make a difference (as it won't even be struggling to put the power down). The 4WD is for offroad capability, period. (read Xuer, or whatever your name is called)

I am not on the "offense" here. This isn't the first time he goes around spreading false information in this forum before processing it through his brain. He never learns when people try to correct him, whilst still responds with mockery and name calling. Are you sure I am the on on the "offense" here?

Not only here, the whole world loves hilux. It's invincible, and it's outselling other pickups by folds.

most of the world, perhaps

in europe, i've seen more VW amarok than hilux

not that there are many pickups to begin with

That was what i was implying.

Whoa ... well said. I am still trying to figure out how to put the explanation in words and there you go

Well, the tone could be a bit friendlier, not that you are offensive, the tone is.
The thing was with 4WD systems in general. It's not always for off roading, it can be useful whenever you want a safer ride. Uphill during heavy rain for instance, or if you find difficulty getting enough grip on 2 wheels starting up on a slippery gradient. If you have weight on the back, accelerating with a FWD (which is what the ASX is in 2WD mode) up a slope when its slippery can reduce front wheel traction.

You are entirely correct though that it's wrong for it to be called traction control, because it simply isn't. People will misuse them that way.

Yeah his words are offensive in all threads

He is bashing almost every fast & furious thread as you can see his post history.

Did not bother to reply him as i put him on ignore list.

Now day found more n more asx on the road.... Why we didn't had a car club? Any one want to start?

They are really alot of ASX on the road. As much as most of the popular cuvs like CX5 and crv. Resale should be good in this case?

A question for owners of ASX CKD...the 2-din GPS entertainment system that comes with the car, can it play any videos from USB thumbdrive, either in avi, mp4, mpg or any other format?

read above

well.. I tot their mirage and attrage is well known in petrol consumption?

full tank can run 600-700 km

yup. Attrage and Mirage is that damn good , FC wise and equipment wise but a lot of people still cannot accept 1.2 (Even smaller than myvi !!!!)

Sometime I think our ego is as big as our cars' engine displacement, if you can pass ego, you can live with a great car

guys, i have come across this thread,

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3236830

any one have flywheel issue with our ASX? I don't know as i am a newbie to Mitsubishi 'Drive@Earth'
