well, this sort of car really depends if you wanna baby it or you wanna drive it the way it's supposed to be driven

if you drive it the way it's supposed to be driven, you'll have to bear the cost of it but i think the people who bought this car and drive it the way it's supposed to be driven doesn't regret it because it's really fun

Yes, since he like to race he already knew that the engine & gearbox will need a lot of money to mod & fix. Most of these owners already knew the consequences, just live with it.

thats why cheap for a reason.

CVT also not sedap, for example HRV when at low rpm (below 2000), gear 1/2, weak and shudder most of the time , more obvious when crossing road hump

The HRV is turbo or N/A? If it is Turbo that is turbo lag, as usually turbo engine need certain RPM to hit the sweet torque level.

Same as Mazda Skyactive engine, due to their engine high compression & direct injection technology. Below 2000rpm the torque also not good and also can feel some knocking/jerking even for 6AT gearbox when driving very slow crawling situation. But still it is far more comfortable than compare to like DSG gearbox.

Not turbo, HRV 2017, just replaced the EPB and transmission range sensor (one of the common problems in HRV), feel the transmission is rather week and tremble at low rpm, but after gear 3 (over 2000 rpm), it's smooth sailing

my altis 7 speed ctv still good, now at 350km. masuk water once.

12v battery can cause the car suddenly halted in the middle of the road during driving ?

On newer cars with many electronics, yes.

Nowadays new car breakdown is normal
