i drove up once after 1K service. engine sound is loud and can hear engine roars like crazy. Fully auto will not get u up. I used manual gear 2 and 3 to go up. the car's too heavy and really i felt underpower. started to have doubt.....but once u have the momentum i think its fairly acceptable. i pass an accord and camry on the way up.

u need to be really really really really careful on the multi storey car park. i had a few close encounters. just ngam ngam can go through.

2 liter engine will sound loud upon hard acceleration/uphill due to the high performance setup. When the engine is pushed for the extra hp,it will roar. It's carrying the heavy body and uphill makes the engine work very hard. If the engine was bigger, then it does not need to work that hard. You'll find the 2.4 liter engine does not roar that loud, cos it does not need to work that hard for the same load!
