I think the 8k rpm indication is there so you will know when you've KO-ed your engine lol... Prolly won't happen, ECU won't let it.

Everytime you kena cucuk by Fiesta S, Civic 1.8, Altis 1.8, Camry 2.0/2.4, Accord 2.0/2.4, Sonata 2.0/2.4, Saga FL 1.6, Satria Neo CPS, Mazda 3 2.0, Mazda 6 2.0/2.5 etc, you'll be asking yourself, "Why didn't I pay that extra RM150 per month?" Why? Why? Why?  cry.gif

The K1 issue was a big "huha" in late 2009 and early 2010 where we had waited our new car for more than 2 months and some even longer.

What a difference ! The 2nd gear of the old 4 speed autobox can be revved all the way to 110km/h.... Not that it's advisable as you'll be passing the peak torque at 4200rpm by then.

but bro SG, why when rpm hit 4.2k rpm feel the power still not enough...
need to rev until 6.2k rpm then baru omphhh...

QUOTE(Liuism @ Sep 30 2011, 07:36 PM)
would it be dangerous to do that?
*
nope... hahaha....
when someone 'cucuk'ing u from the back, u'll nvr think about the above...
all u think is run run run far away from them...

More convenient for the front or rear passenger to access the lock/unlock function in case the driver needs to leave the car unattended for a while.
Agreed
QUOTE
Also, I would have preferred multi-link or at least McPherson struts at the rear instead of torsion beam. Handling a bit iffy around the bends.
Didn't agree coz prefer spacious boot. So far current handling enough for me...
QUOTE
Lastly, the GB is quite reluctant to gear down during descents. A bit dangerous esp when taking a downhill bend. There should have been an "L" position on the gear stick to allow us to switch immediately to a lower gear.

I never use AUTO when drive out of KL, so no issue to down shift the gear...
if use AUTO always eat smoke... AUTO use for in KL only...

If fuel is ur concern then worth it. For me, power 1st, fuel 2nd. With that power/speed, I need a car with a lot of safety features. Can't understand why people drive below 100km/h just bcoz want to achieve low fc...
Speed didn't kill but stupid & careless kill...
13 years ago, running 110km/h make me sleepy & hentam side divider. Lucky no car from the back. After that speed limit is priority no 2. Careful is no 1...
