if you're already driving conti or previous proton cars it should be no problem, it's the matter of getting used to it.
since my first and only car already operated that way, so it is the conventional way for me but whenever i drive my sister's dugong i rarely made mistake switching the wiper/signal.

Tested drive already,

Speed: i'm not sure why but it seems to be slow, maybe it is too stable? i'm not sure how do i release the turbo so i only step and press harder to gains peed.

CVT: SMOOTH, gear transmission everything very pretty like my crush.

Sport mode: aggressive enough, can feel the g-force.

Cornering: 120KM/h i didn't even noticed, my friend told me one he was looking at the meter. Very stable but until there, i balless already.

Driving overal: 8/10.

when you feel "slow", did you look at the speed on odometer? unsure.gif

Finally, my test drive review. SA don't let me go highway but managed to test mixed housing area and main road with some hard corners.

I asked the SA how do i open the door if the remote malfunctioned since the handle have no visible keyhole, he said the keyhole is actually hidden behind the cover with the key logo and you'd have to remove it. Subtle. After entering the car, inserting(prefer to call it plugging in though tongue.gif ) lights up the display and pressing the push-start button once starts up the car. You don't have to hold the button to crank the engine, but the engine will crank itself once you press the button. First time playing with push start button so it may not be new to others but its definitely new to me

Brakes are good. very good in fact. Better than my Waja stock braking system and more bite eventhough i'm using RS brake pads. tested at housing area first with max acceleration and hard braking. even on yellow lines the brakes performed nicely eventhough can hear the tires starting to skid. Went to the long stretch of road between SS14 and SS18 and managed to hit 140 before slowing down due to the traffic light up front and took the left corner around 70~80 hard enough to activate the ESC. Can see the ESC light blinking while i was cornering laugh.gif Overall the car feels very undramatic and controlled eventhough i was cornering hard. Acceleration can't really feel much but once you look at the speedo suddenly it reads 100 sweat.gif S mode also not much feel. dissapointed with the pedal shifters though. not much feel when changing 'gears' and it will automatically change for me before i hit my desired RPM. too used to manual i guess sweat.gif

overall it was a nice test drive session. managed to test hard cornering and braking and was not dissapointed. Can't imagine how it'll handle if the tires were changed to Michelin PS3 instead drool.gif SA said he was scared when i was driving sweat.gif

LOL, it's not easy to be salesmen, their lives are in jeopardy whenever accompany customers for test drive laugh.gif
