today, after exactly 1-year (drove out from mitsu showroom on 19apr2011), i discovered the awesomeness of the ASX
was driving very fast in the rain (long distance travelling) this afternoon. overtook some car, and made some grave errors. slammed the brakes. the ABS works perfectly and gently - unlike most ABS that i have used, it pulsates gently, rather than violently
then when accelerating while overtaking a few cars with standing water on the road, the car swerved a bit, but was immediately corrected by the ASC - the ASC signal flashes on the main screen at the dashboard. the whole screen is flashing a big ASC symbol. damn, quite lucky didn't made the car skid, or for sure tonite spend in the hospital already
overall, must say fun driving - but have to drive slower a bit next time.
oh, btw, when the ABS activated, i was braking from 120 down to 70 on a slippery road
and the ASC kicked in when i over accelrate from 140+km/h (with paddle shifters @ 4,700+ rpm)
Hi Lucifah glad to hear u r still alive
Today i went to showroom. I was told by the SA that they are going to assemble in malaysia the 1.8 ASX (not sure petrol/disel) and will launch in 2-3 months time. Anyone heard this?
This morning i went Spore to test drive the mazda cx5, afternoon come back test drive ASX. Find that ASX easier to drive, compact, easy to get in and out of the car. CX5 is bigger, but more features to play. Am undecided between this 2 cars.
Really like ASX but just still unwilling to pay this money 140k for this simple car. maybe i shall wait for the so-call 1.8 ASX that was told by the SA will be ard RM10Xk (rm100-109).
