when hard acceleration only...

due to cvt gear...

Pm'ed oready.

My ASX is 2014 CKD. Yes, got rubber smell when sudden acceleration. My GPS player is okay, quite good actually, which is by flyaudio. Slow to pickup if use normal auto drive, because it has been tuned for relax drive and maximum fuel economy. If want to accelerate, switch to manual mode and the car will fly!

My other complaints: dashboard wont close properly. Already sent to service centre for repair 3 times, it solve for a short while, then the problem happen again. Now left side mirror wont close when pressing switch, already sent to service centre, also the same. Another con is the road noise quite loud (compared to my CRV). Other than that, quite happy with this compact SUV. Great acceleration in manual mode, which makes it really fun to drive, and due to compact size, easy to drive around town and find parking.

If you are thinking about buying a new ASX, let me share my experience on one thing. When I bought my car, I was offered 2 years free service (labour and parts) worth RM3,000 which I thought was a good deal, because basically I will have zero maintenance cost in the first 2 years.

Now I regret taking this offer. Why? Because there is no such thing as free. You are paying for it. I found out that if you dont want the free 2-year service (upto 40,000km service), you can get a discount of similar amount. The disadvantage of taking the free service offer is that you need to use it within 2 years, otherwise you will burn your free service. My problem is that my ASX is my wife's car, which we use as second car, so it is relatively low mileage.

Now I have to use my ASX really hard to make sure I can reach 40,000km before my 2 year expired, so that I can get the 40,000km free service, which cost about RM2,000 as it is a major service. If I missed servicing my car before the 2 year expired, I will have to pay RM2,000 out of my own pocket. Essentially I already paid for this 40,000km service upfront, now because the car is low mileage, I run the risk of having to pay RM2,000 for the major service on my own if I dont send my car before 2 year expired or if my car not reach 40,000km yet.

My advice, dont take the 2-year free service (labour and parts), and take the discount instead. That you way you can take your own sweet time to do service as an when your car reached 40,000km, and not have to rush and really use your ASX extensively just to make sure your car can reach 40,000km within 2 years so that you can claim my free service worth RM2,000. This is a lesson learnt from me which I am sharing with you guys.
