Any idea how they actually define 1st batch, 2nd batch and so on?

Just visited the showroom. The salesperson mentioned 1st batch booking ending this week. 2nd batch booking start next week. I assume he is talking about car production batch, not customers batch. I could be wrong.

Test drove the Advance model. Nice car for the price, and promised fuel saving in the long run.
My only gripe is low torque, i.e. acceleration, in lower RPM. Decent enough when getting in or out of junction from a stand still. Also decent acceleration when I get to higher RPM in higher gears. For the record, I'm a jackrabbit starter in my current beat up car.
I read somewhere Axia had understeer issue. I found the handling is OK, though I didn't get the chance to try high speed cornering because of the test drive route chosen by the showroom.

@darkdevilrey

Yeah, it's cheaper than the pre-launch tentative price.
G AT Metallic RM33,200.

It's a 1000 cc 3 cylinders, aluminum cast engine. Hence the low torque, slower acceleration, don't use too much fuel too fast.
Also, that 21.6km/l is only achievable if you drive the MT model at top gear at constant speed of 90km/h, and maybe favourable wind direction biggrin.gif

Viva is a 660/850 cc car...

Care to explain where you got the idea that 21.6 km/l achievable at "Constant speed of 90km/h"?

Apparently it's something I pulled out of my ass blush.gif
