within penang, no....from my home to work only 4km....but got 3 traffic lights....this is daily....
then within penang island...really duno how to describe...some place can go straight no jam, some place jam like hell...but i just keep the rpm lower than 2k...ALWAYS...set air cond temp to 25'C fixed, the fan speed on 1st level (up one level after "auto"), but occasionally put into 4th or 5th level due to hot afternoon...

always off air cond and radio before start engine and after off engine

this is how i drive....
one more thing, everytime, first time i start car in morning, i will wait around 1 minute or so before start moving, and i wont on air cond immediately start car...


Added on October 5, 2012, 9:55 amwhen stop in traffic light or jam, just remember one more thing, dun immediately pedal ur car when start moving...

for example, when waiting in traffic lights, when lights turn green, i will wait the next car in front of me start moving (car A in front of me, car B in front of car A.....i'm pointing to car B), then only i put into D, let the rpm move to 1k, or in another word, let the gear engage first before pedalling...pretty sure lots of u guys notice this ady...

Correct. bro Mat79 mentioned about its Punch CVT features of wet clutch or something that takes a bit time to close after stop at traffic light. That should improve FC also

well, if that's the case, in my situation, i can approx-ly know when the lights will turn green...
for example, the three traffic lights in my route to work, i ady know it well after left lane (lane for cars in left direction, not same lane, hope u can understand what i'm trying to say) turns red, my lane will turn green....so when i see the traffic lights for left lane is at yellow, i immediately put my gear in D, press brake...when it turns red, i let go my brake...

of course, if u stop too near to the lines, or stop too front to the motors in front, need to wait them go first, but still, i still wait for the gear to engage bfore i pedal...will have like 1 second delay...the cars behind wont honk u...

To sum it up, trust your guts to estimate the time to release the brake pedal first before pedalling the throttle. Hehehe

Got another lost world of tambun meh? Hehehe tongue.gif
