Hard braking at 170km/h
xman13:
It is possible to go beyond 150 km, I did it on my Hankook V12 on 16" Rays Rim. No issue, wouldnt recommend it though, braking at such speed is juz plain silly and dangerous.

All hell driver here.. i hardly go beyond 110km... Going to 170km/hr is damn fast and to hard brake... cannot imagine
neotiger:
Normally i stay around 110, but when i do overtaking, i can't stay at 110 because the big cars in NS highway will flash their lights at you. U can spot tour buses doing 140 easily. BTW the CVT latio listed top speed is 180. If tyre pressure is correct, tyre alignment and balancing is good, plus routine servicing properly done, U can hit 170 easily. Latio has quite high CG and easily affected by cross winds. I have also noticed the brake disc are quite small compared to other cars. I have also noticed that at around 100km/hr, it takes a while to do emergency stop as compared to my previous manual sunny. Hope u guys shed some lights about safe driving with Latio. I respect those guys with good knowledge about defensive driving, especially Latio. Cheers.
Jazz:
High CG only affect you during hard or sharp bend and corner, straight still O.K, it not really that high if you compare with MPV and SUV.
I do agree on the braking thou, but you can opt to change to a bigger rotor, I still thinking of changing still till date. :D
Anyway, I on 17" wheel, together with coilover and strut bars ( kiasu and kiasi ), so far still satisfy about the handling and performance of my car. Average still able to maintain 13km/l.
vinzlee:
Just an advice. When travelling along NSH at open space, watch out for wind shear if you are traevelling at high speed (150 km/r above), you may feel the car not moving straight, you better start to slow down. Getting crash at 170km/h will be much worse that recent Ferrari accident at Bugis.
