It was swerving in n out of my lane! anyway, when i was travelling at 90km... i felt it was like travelling at 70-80km... was it bcos my latio not seasoned yet? i used to drive a manual Opel van and the speed of my van was faster than my latio...i simply haul the road and all cars overtake me on my left n right. :crycry:

IMO, if you travel at 90km/hr but feel like 70-80 km/hr, it is a good thing, right? This means that you feel the stability of the car as compared to your previous one. It is better than you travel at 90 km/hr but feel like you are going much faster. Since you mentioned that other cars overtake you from left and right, this means that you are at the second lane. I don't see anything wrong with travelling at the speed limit in the second lane. You are not hogging as others can (rightfully) overtake you on the right. No worry la. When people see new car number plate, they also know it is run-in period.

Even on CVT, at yr rpm meter you shld be doing 2x1000, that shld gt you to even 100km/hr. CVT moving off might not have the burst power but it require very little effort from 60 to 100km/hr and at times I don't even felt hat I hit 100 or even 110km/hr.
How many more life line you left for your COE bidding?

During your run-in period, going at 2K rpm is perfectly fine... and for CVT 2K rpm shld get abt 90-100km/hr. This shld give u a very comfortable cruising speed on the expressway. With regards to road hogging, this depends on the road situation. But if you feel that u are going too slow, then simply move to Lane 2 (at least) so that other faster moving vehicles can overtake u safely on the right. But if you are really going a very slow speed, then it'll be best if you move to lane 3... ::)
Sometimes other drivers overtake you on the left is a very good indictator for you to change to a slower moving lane. Courtesy goes both ways, if you dont want to be offended by others, then take the first move - go to Lane 3 or even Lane 4 if necessary. Cos you are are hogging onto Lane 1, the only thing you'll get will be High-beam or honking... :D
Experienced many times, drivers going at 60++km/hr on Lane 2 also... :glare: :glare: :glare:

dun regret :thumbsup:
space wise latio wins over swift liao....
interior also....
speed... depends on individual la....
but after run in period... my latio was much smoother....
have to let your latio slowly learn your driving pattern.... then will be better after run-in........
