On a slight slope, for example the driveway leading towards the car porch, the car slides backwards a bit when one releases the brake pedal to press the acc pedal. Same goes for reversing up a slight slope, in this case, car moves slightly forward. What adjustment need to be done here?

If all experience it then I take it as it is.
The auto Myvi was the same but I didn't experience it when I tried Avanza. Hence I thought there might be an adjustment that can stabilise that. I am just thinking, with the forward transmission engaged and the engine running, then the car will be at stationary in the worst case scenario and pressing the acc will drive it forward without the slight backward movement. Is this some kind of shift delay or is it because without significant petrol being fed to the engine, there isn't enough torque applied that the wheels cannot overcome gravity pulling down the car along the slope? Compared this to engaging the car to a 'D' transmission on a flat road, the car move forward without pressing the acc pedal. Hence I think on a slope it succumb to the challenge of gravity and perhaps this requires the right adjustment? I am not sure.

Perhaps that's why they come out with brake assist.

What do you do to remove tar then?

I just learned that the car floor carpet (5 pieces) stock is about RM 300K.
EDIT:Correction, not RM 300K but RM 300+

Yes, just wipe and don't have to rinse. But you certainly need to mix water with it, something like half a pail. Can use for weekly wash. You can also use ONR for claying.

Sorry typo erro...... should be RM 300+ for the carpet, not RM 300K.

Apart from convenience (especially so if you live in a place where tap is not available), it also takes lesser time.
You need two pails of water. One to put the ONR while the other to clean the cloth so that there is no dirt particle on the cloth to cause undesirable mark due to the wiping.

I would say if your car is camouflaged with dirt and dust, then the shower rinse should be done to prevent from the undesirable mark due to wiping.

I think the concern on spare part is real. Even I have not got my GPS and have been 4 weeks waiting. The thing is, touch wood, if the car has to be repaired with part replacement, how long will it take for the spare part to be delivered and we will be without a car? Spare part is one of the consideration when buying a car and this spare part management seems to show sign of falling through the cracks.

Since we are on taking care of the car paint topic now, may I ask about rain. Just another look at it. If it rains in the morning and you are in your office. There is a strong midday sun heat. What do you do to take care of the paint in this scenario? Just rinse the car when you are back home in the evening? Has damaged been done during the hot afternoon? You don't go out in the car park after the rain stops in the morning just to rinse the car right? I mean you are being unique at your workplace doing so.

Quick question for those who opted for the 5-year free service during the July's promotion.
1) Do we get some kind of voucher or is it all computerised in such a way we can go to any authorised service center?
2) If we bought it from EON, we can send to Proton Edar for the free service too right and vice-versa?

What is the August promotion for Inspira like? What options were given?
