I find the engine braking too aggressive for my liking..

Often times in these 2 situations:
1) When approaching a red light or when you saw the light just turned red, your car is carrying enough speed to cruise beyond the traffic light, so you pull your foot off the accelerator and start pressing the brakes, then engine braking kicks in and stops the car earlier than expected and haven't even reach the traffic light, so have to accelerate up again to the traffic light...

2)When going over speed bumps. Same story. When you think your car is moving with enough momentum to go over the bump, so you lift off the accelerator pedal and brake lightly, then the car slows down tremendously before u even reach the bump and now has not enough momentum to go over the bump, so again you need to accelerate...


anyway wanna ask, when you guy steer the car, does the steering like gives more "room" after you initially fully turn the steering wheel? Like you steer all the way to the right (while the car is moving, for example when making a u-turn) then after that the steering somehow can still turn a lil bit more to the right. hmm.gif hmm.gif

Also, just wondering, how do you guys start your car?

Do you :
A) Turn key from Off position to Acc/On then only to Start.
or
B) Turn key from Off position to Start straight.

I personally do B.

Yes! I noticed this too. When doing uturn only i realized this. When im trying to reverse park or turn steering while not moving, i dont get that extra "room".

Anyway, want to ask, anyone changed their horn? And what brand is a reliable one that sounds abit "garang"?

Does this void warranty? How much to change one?

Ohhhhhh I also want to change my horn. I previously changed my Myvi's horn to a Bosch, much better... It's the same model that Audis use but I can't recall the model number.

Would it void the warranty? Because I need to install a relay too.

1 & 2. Is that a characteristic of cvt or brake assist? For my case the car tends to over brake sometimes (im sure i pressed the correct amount for braking as I dont have this problem with my old saga). Btw im driving manual so I am in control of my engine braking.
The last one, I didnt notice. Have to test it out.

A & B depending on how fast I need to start the engine. Normally Acc/On > on camera > wear seatbelt > start.

I changed mine to Hella twin horn + relay. The shop used O rings to attach them. Since no cutting of wire so warranty shouldnt void.

Total cost for horn + relay + labor = RM115 iirc.

Yep. when car is stationary the extra "room" seems like not there. Only when doing tight turning(where steering fully turned) like u-turns and going up parking ramps, then the steering will have extra "room". Lol.

Anyone else notice the same thing as us?

as for 1 & 2, I think it's cvt+engine characteristic. Btw, what do you mean by over brake? Don't understand that.. hmm.gif

and yes, do test and see whether you notice the steering gives more "room" when you are doing tight turning like u-turn or entering parking ramps.

as for starting engine, I always do B. Nothing wrong right if straight start car from Off position and don't stop at Acc/On before starting car?

while some don't have prob
guess it depends on drivers luck

Layabg-Layang at Shah Alam. No sound sample but when the car is stopped and you press the horn then can feel the car vibrate brows.gif

What i mean is when you press on the brakes then its as if you applied too much brakes. Not sure how brake assist works and if that could be the cause.

As for starting the engine, years back I remember people always tell auto car drivers to wait for check engine light to go off before starting.

Idk but my steering feels direct, like ford fiesta but better. For me Iriz steering feel is better than fiesta.


This morning while driving on highway chasing a gen 2 the rubber strip on the roof peeled off. Found out there is a small double sided tape under it. Luckily it doesn't hit any car or anyone(I hope). Going to COE tomorrow morning for warranty claim. sweat.gif

I guess I drove too fast tongue.gif

p/s: I saw a lot of new cars getting hit from behind. I think this is because the owner is not familiar with the new car braking power so they tend to over apply the brakes. Please be careful. It pains me to see new cars kemek oredi.

They sell very very sturdy double sided foam tape. I guess you could unstick it when you get it and add another strip that runs all the way from front to back and then it won't go anywhere.

Guys, my seatbelt reminding beep will not stop beeping even when the car is stopped and gear is in Park. Any solutions? It was fine before this. It will only stop if i fasten seatbelt, and start again beeping again after unfasten (note car is still stopped and in park).
