My axia also same after temple alrdy very steep put D2 with 3 passengers car like reluctant to move compare to my wira manual easily go up does not feel underpowered
Manual cars vs auto cars.
In the bezza, I was trying my best to keep the car at 3k rpm ascending genting.
That, I find is where the vvt comes alive.
Meaning that the camshaft switches from eco to performance.
In a manual car, its easy to maintain that rpm and thus get the most of the engine going uphill. Or taking a corner or racing.
If bezza can select 1st gear manually, then that would be great..
Certain areas where I wished the gearbox gb will just shift to 1st but it stubbornly maintains 2nd and forces the engine to lug around at 1.5k rpm..
All the while going uphill, my acceleratior pedal was to the metal, full on.
This is not ideal..
We are not in control of the car, the car is in control of us. This is an auto going to genting.
In a manual, I am in control of the car..
The middle ground will be a semi auto car where we can control or place the gb in any gear we choose and have auto.
That's why cars with sporting intentions have either manual gb or semi auto gb like the selespeed, dsg (vw gti), porsche pdk or fully controllable full auto gb (which can handle the torque) but not the cvt.. Cvt gb can't handle to high torque of performance engines..
