mine was silver iinm

just maybe i get to adapt to things a bit quicker or i'm just more complacent/content.

my iswara and kancil 660 and even nissan sentra in the household are cable for sure. my inspira was my first and only DBW, and my experiences with the satria neo/other DBW cars like iriz/persona i tested didn't really bother me that much.

YES there IS lag compared to cable, however with better ecu management/controlling the clutch (hurray manual!) one can definitely offset/compensate for the lag.

besides, when you're going fast already, you're not gonna bother about "stop-go" throttle lag, right?

gogo rev matched downshifts (and yes i fucking hate the gear ratios and yes people actually do laugh at me greatly on my super slow shifting/rowing through the gears)

LDP straight road only
with traffic somemore

here's the irony:
- there were numerous complaints on the campro engine noise even in the persona especially when you're revving it harder. albeit you think the m2 engine sounders better.
- family sedan handling and cornering is well, limited. if anything, i'd dare the m2 to fit the small silverstones
- the rear passenger space was complained a lot on the iriz and subsequently the persona too since it's basically the same chassis with a boot.
that said, personally it LOOKED cramp, since the roof is a bit low, however once sat in place in the rear seats it definitely isn't cramped at all.

now, if you're REALLY a single driver who's wanting more of a driver car, i highly urge over the persona manual.
the 30k saved can EASILY get WAYYYY better tires or even suspension if you prefer a stiffer ride (though god forbid on those adjustable/coil overs)

tarak duit buy

i'd think lower roof will make things more camp haha

cheap proton also cannot get got what car to get oh?

no money

free service (for persona) = syntium 800 bro, there's a memo etc given to dealers/sc.

You've never driven an actual short gear ratio car have you? Lol

then none of them are short ratios what

if anything, short ratio cars aren't exactly fun for city drives... how should i put it... you'll be doing a LOT of gear changes for really shitty (read: not worth it) speeds.

side note and this may or may not apply to you/other readers, regardless if you already know or not: a rough gauge on really short ratio cars, you're usually needing to shift at least twice or even 3 times just to get 100km/h lol.

acceleration is also waaaayyy faster even if the engine actual output isn't as fast.
you get to stay in power band much easier
rev matching short ratio cars require very minimal throttle blipping

the drawbacks though, is you sacrifice top speed/cruising rpm (which also means shittier fuel consumption btw) and of course, a lot more shifting required to either get the rpm low for cruising/reduce fuel consumption, or to stay in power band/avoid hitting rev limiters when it comes to spirited/aggressive/track driving.

Ferrari and superbike (i am going to assume literbike/supersports or mid range supersports lol) are kinda... a level above than most average sports car no?

wide power band sure, however the focus tends to be more towards low/mid end for regular family sedan because well, it is supposed to be a family sedan. however i guess it does have the perception of wide power band due to the perception of VVT that almost every modern car has today?

that said, i'm actually ok with CVT especially with the likes from Subaru.
i just personally have a bias with manual just for the sheer fun of it and you know, having a third pedal so every part of me is doing something.

like my 250cc kapchai bike... to corner aggressively, left hand clutch, right hand brake, left leg downshift, right leg brake (one could argue that good riders don't bother rear brakes, but i'm not good and i only ride a small bike so eh ), then also have to move my butt off the bike... like suddenly very busy

it just dawned me, even with short ratio boxes, its either there's plentiful of revs to play with, or they still kept at least 1st gear quite long
though, usually at least 2nd gear's ok to downshift into for short ratio gear boxes unlike inspira where its just downright nerve wrecking, positively or negatively.

the persona imho seemed worse, albeit if you could somehow unlock more revs to play with... at the risk of lol campro masuk bengkel... but i digress
but yes, it is a bit unfair to compare a remapped 4B10 vs S4PH

i wonder what persona ratios are running? inspira:
1st - 3.538
2nd - 1.913
3rd - 1.333
4th - 1.028
5th - 0.820
Rev - 3.583

random latest ND miata mx 5:
5.087
2.991
2.035
1.594
1.286
1.000

final
2.866

the first gear and final drive is like a huge fuck you, but i guess how 2-6 is decently quite close... oh well all is forgiven? lol
lol no overdrive though

I think have to go with what sifu Kenny said leh, else kena diao further
But yeah, I've read similarly as well and the reason of not having an overdrive 6gear with the long final drive combined due to the overall goal of the car being a fun open top touring /Canyon trip haha.

I suppose if you want to make it even more aggressive, the final drive is probably one of the main things you can tinker with hahaha

Sorry boss just bring random

You 2.0 already 3rd should be enough power right?

4B10 and no skill driver, 2nd not enough rpm, 3rd not enough power

Ya tempted to change, but 5k km only, thinking to just let it wear along with the chain, change only when replacing the chain XD

If I were to guess /assume, overall driving feel (probably between prototype testings and what not, complex calculations between top speed and acceleration, Rev hangs, percentage or actual value of rpm changes between shifts, power band, engine (especially vvt or lifting mechanism involvement) characteristics including ECU behavior varying engine load etc.
