Just came back from genting hill climbing last 2 weeks. Installed Redline filter and carried 4 person(3 girls one man) with no luggage in car.

Forced to used only second gear and floor the pedal, if not I think I will going downward. Very poor performance, my car clocked at below 30k mileage and just done servicing, half tank oil.

Struggling to climb to the top, engine is screaming(floor the pedal) but I just driving at around 18-20km/h uphill.

I been to Genting 3 time with Alza. Honestly our car hard to "race" till destination unless no other car blocking in front.

One of the main reason .. need very good skill to make sure it use gear 1 in stead of gear 2 sweat.gif

1st time. Original ( 2 adult 1 kid )
2nd time. Add Eric VS/GC/ Redline ( 4 adult 1 kid )
3rd time. GC/Redline maintain, change to EDGE VS ( 4 adult 2 kids )

I can feel that each experience is better then previous one. My bro in law join me 2nd and 3rd time, he feel that as well.

But still I face the issue auto gear shift to gear 2 and very hard to trigger it back to gear 1 doh.gif .. even though I manage to control it much better on 3rd climb.

just for sharing. laugh.gif

is this good or bad? i got my car 3 weeks already and travelled 1000+k

first full tank = 320km, 2nd full tank= 390 3rd full tank= 380 full city drive

Not sure.. sad.gif
Did you travel fast? I'm travelling 110km/h at highway..
Should I let the engine run in first?


QUOTE(Eithanius @ May 1 2013, 04:39 PM)
That's normal... Usual on the high side for an engine that has not run in yet...

thanks for the courtesy replied. doh.gif

indeed that is the very true performance for alza genting uphill. sweat.gif

how bout downhill part?

hows the experience?

every here and there you step the brake, all the passenger "move" forward? ( i can think of this because alza is quite high compared to sedan ) hmm.gif
*
seriously this is one underpowered car. For city driving then it's good.

downhill? Control your brake then it should be ok, don't make sudden brake.

Stock speakers mid-freq is ok, voices from Sarah Brightman and Lana Del Rey were able to mask some road and wind noise even at 150kph... The highs and lows are terrible... Excluding dance and techno, even the bass on normal pop song also sounded cacat... Sometimes I find them amplifying road noise...

That's coming from my ears... Your hearing mileage may differ since different people have different hearing perception...

How much are these sony speakers...?
