I actually like the brakes because it is not overly sensitive.

I don't problem with mine.

Carplay seems to able to work wired connection with my 14pro... i can just switch off the wireless charging dock then.... Hahaha

If you want more responsive or harder brakes, drive in B mode and max out the regen paddle downshift

How many of you got your G6 steering rake changed instead of just greasing?

sorry bro. didn't get what you said. b mode is what? thought the paddle shift is just for decorative purposes?

Decorative...hahaha...

For petrol, the paddle shift manual gear shift is really decorative for casual driver. s

Not the hybrid, its the regenerative brake paddle that is actually quite useful for daily driving once you get the hang of it.
Think of it like activating 3 levels of engine braking. 1 bar, minor, 2 bar mid and 3rd bar full engine braking like what you do with manual gear when going downhills.

Except besides engine braking (that in reality, in layman term, are using the internal traction motor to pull back the wheel rotation and charge the battery instead of using the brake pad eating onto the disc brake plate to slow down the wheel), it's main purpose is actually to exponentially increase the battery regeneration rate during its activation.

Note that regen braking is not using the disc brake plate/brake pad (I think) thus will never lock the wheel and although can pull back the car during high speed braking, it will not work as good as hard disc brake for emergency braking. It is meant for more gradual slow down. Combining both the regen braking and leg brake during emergency braking is way more effective to quickly slow down and stop the car than just leg brake alone if you can react fast enuf on pressing the regen paddle.

I usually used it during higher speed cornering where I want to slow down a bit for cornering and instead of using leg brake, I used this to slow down the car for more control over cornering, if still too fast, shift slowly to 2-3 bars. Once you get to the slower speed you want, shift the other paddle bar to release the levels, slowly back from 3 to 1 bar to release the strong engine braking affect to pick up speed. If need more immediate braking, then only use leg brake.

I also use it to slow down gradually when passing tolls, normally for petrol, we let go of fuel accelerator, let it slide, then nearing the toll, gradually press leg brake.
For paddle shift, same, let go for petrol, if still too fast, instead of pressing brake, I shifted the paddle for engine braking gradually increasing the levels, I only use brake if I still go too fast/too near or going for almost full stop near toll booth.

I also use it a bit during slow moving traffic without using leg brake paddle to slow down the car, then release the regen (upshift using other paddle), accelerate, then regen to slow down, repeat.

This will allow brake pad to last longer, increase battery regen rate and allow more control especially when cornering. The feel is just EXACTLY like engine braking without wheel braking.

I practically never use B mode on gear box coz I'm not running in hilly areas. While B mode increase regen rate, it also engine brake the car ALL THE TIME thus slowing the down car and require more acceleration. It is useful tho if you are in a constant downhill drive but not very good for uphill drive coz need to tekan accelerator WAY more than necessary due to the ëngine braking" effect.

Only my 2 cents based on my experience, others' opinion might differ.

for anyone that got rattling sound from back seat

try checking your rear seatbelts,, the one for middle passenger, the one that is hanging,, put back the knuckle in the casing /holder on the roof,,

works for me

Thanks for the heads up. will go check it out.

Agree with u bro. Using regen braking will be convenient during slowing down on corners or gadually slow your cars.

Its just in the B gear, i didnt see any indication on the engine braking all the time. I just cant feel any difference nor notice the recharging indicator showing anything. Based on what i know, the brakng will straight happen only when u release the accelerator. And the level of braking can be adjusted as well using the regen paddle.

I use B mode once, and hate it haha. Use D all the time after that.

I am curious about constant shifting the regen brake pedal would worn out certain part of the car faster (ie traction motor, battery??). I like the whole regen feature and use it alot, just wondering if there are other tradeoffs than enjoying better FC.

The complete opposite actually, regen braking uses the electric motor to slow down the car so you actually save on brake pads. Motors are designed to go both directions so no worries about wear-and-tear there (think of it this way — it needs to spin one direction anyway, so whether it spins forwards/backwards doesn't matter). Battery is always in a state of recharge/discharge, so same thing there.

All in all, no downsides to using regen braking. The only potential issue I see is if you rely on it too much you may become careless when hard braking is needed, but we have AEB for that

Oh ya, I always have this worry the car would slow down too fast for the car behind at highest regen braking without taillight, then caused emergency brake for the unnoticed drivers. Unlike EVs' single pedal mode where off throttle = regen braking with taillight.

Ya, that is also the weakness here, so whenever I notice the car behind are tailing closely or "tiong" very closely at higher speed, I avoided using regen brake.

Actually the only worry I have on regen braking besides the above brake light issue is how long the physical paddle shift can last (aka loosen, not that responsive) if keep pressing up down many times over the years..

Wonder if there's anywhere that we can trade in tyres. Feel like getting the primacy suv, with only 14k on my current toyo.

strong suspicion is the back seat that produce noise. when the backseat was occupied. no sound! only when i was driving alone over rough patches surface. WTf!

For me its typical Honda melaka made. Long time ago had rattling on the gear lever for Accord, when drove on rough road. 3 SC i went and complaint told its normal, ask to accept, one even told factory QC already approved this. Until one day I went to Global Amity Bangi, they solved it for me and even told if it still rattling, we will claim the part no. under warranty. Good SC for me. Not sure now since this was years ago

14k is quite a bit of wear, you can try to go any tyre shop to see if they'd take it. IMO even if you pay full price, the Primacy SUV+ is well worth it. I traded in the Toyo shit tyres on day one

How much roughly is the Primacy SUV+?
