Latio Sports. A good car?

[reefy]

i think latio is more like a Enjoy while Driving Car. haha

Comforty seats, less bumpy ride with good air con + gf/bf/family members  sitting beside = Priceless

  totally agreed.

[darrylker]

oh, btw, 4at vs cvt is abt 2k+ to 3k diff nia.
why choose 4at if cvt is ard this price range leh? cvt give u more things and cvt's power leh for cheong...

Personally I chose 4AT over CVT cos like the feeling of controlling the change of gear despite it being auto...at least give a feel of changing gear by controlling the acc...prev on manuel car & loving it, if Latio have manual I'll have gotten it...

because i do speed in msia's NSHW, i am thinking to chg to better tyres aso. may be GR80....
now abt 22000km...  can change?

In Malaysia NSHW, the most I speed is 120 - 130. When near Kulai, I'll drop to 110 as TP is eyeing on Singapore cars.

It is very dangerous to drive at your high speed. You may think that everything is under your control, but everyone think so. Think of your friends and family in your car before you speed. Even the best tyres can't help you in the even of an accident.

22000km is too early to change the tyres, maybe around 40000km. Of course you can choose to change if you have the buget. GR80 is not a performance tyre, more for comfort. Performance tyre is also noisy, you have to compromise on the comfy.

Drive safely, pal.

mar huan mah.
as u know, sometime we kena jam jam n jam, then need to chg gear leh... mar huan leh...
hands tire, fooot aso feel tire leh....
but on the other hand, 4at is good aso, our foot will be always in use while driving mah, better for our health, u agree? :)

u know , in KL, always jam here n there, anytime, anywhere! i was there for years, i know it, therefore, auto gear is a must nowadays.

You should have test both the cvt and 4AT before making your decision. Take me for example, I like the appearance of the sports version, but didn't come with the 4AT at that time. Since I can't tahan the slow pickup, also me not the cheong type, decided to take the basic 4AT. You only have to blame for yourself for your own selection. 

But come to think of it, even the luxury car also got people complaining. They even cough out more but at the end curse and swear eg the FC.

Just enjoy what you have for the car, sure you are able to pick up something better than the kelisa. Then change it after 3 years.

Strange  that you pointed out on test drive part. I did not mentioned anywhere in this thread that i did not test drove before the 4AT. (something which i did) Anyway its off topic whether or not i tested the differernt version.


Thats it. Dont 2nd guess. its pointless.

[vroomvroom]

Just realize that you upgraded the tyres to 17 inches. No wonder it is doubly slow pick up for the cvt sports.

This CVT car is slow on pick up, no doubt abt it...15,16,17,18 inch..whatever...i drove a kelisa (very light)...i know how fast a car can be off a block.


In anycase, really too way off topic....pick up is NOT an ISSUE.
At least It doesnt borthers me that much. (To me its something good to have..but dont have also nevermind). HAHA.

Im off..u guys enjoy discussing on the pick up...

However there this is something im not clear though.....does the size of the rim affect the pick up speed?I thought its the weight of the rims that matter most?

eg say 15inch 15kg
          17inch 13kg

          which one pick up faster?

[iagree]

no la not angry la :)

just trying to put things right...

[xuan511]

ya size and weight affects. like u cycle, when u change to the biggest gear ring at ur tyres, harder to move off rite?

works the same =)

hi vroomvroom

no doubt the kelisa's speed lah, but i am worrying abt its weight. too light until can fly down the cliff in NSHW.

i saw alot of MyVi run very fast in NSHW, when i was driving 120km/h. they can overtake. scary!

It does matter. There are also other factors like the pattern, type of rubber, area of contact, so not just weight.

I upgraded my rims for my previous ride from 14 to 16. In terms of weight is about the same. You can feel that you need to step on more fuel to start off the car from stationary for the 16" rims, and for my 14" rim, the car can be started from D without stepping the accelerator.

The reason is because bigger tyres have more contact surface. 16" tyres (205mm) compared with 14" (185mm). Thus need more power to overcome the traction on the road.

Though loss out in the FC, but I enjoyed the stability and look of the 16" rims (lower profile).

Aiya, for AT also can have tire leg lah. At the traffic light junction while waiting for green light, MT car can put to neutral gear, and relax both legs. But AT car need to press the brake all the time. Not advise to shift to neutral gear as they are more prompt to wear and tear of the gear box.

Anyway still enjoy the convienience of AT. I got a colleague who broke his left arm, but still can drive to work. And see one uncle with a limping leg, also can drive the AT. 

[iagree]

iagree.
good point. make sense.
so in other word, 15" is just average.
but if we want more stable for our ride, 16" is surely a better choice then.

wa koa,

broke ur left arm aso can drive?
if cvt auto gear, broke left leg aso can drive leh :)_

was that near the Whitley area some time back?  LOL

Do you cycle? I do. From the way you put it, I presume you are referring to the driven gear. If yes, you are wrong. Higher gear which you are referring to bigger gear is the easiest to move off especially up slope while the lowest or smallest gear is for speed.

Yeah, that's what my babe told me too when we got our ride...easier to drive esp during jams & on slopes... I seldom drive to KL, but more often to JB & malacca, esp in JB its more comfortable to have 4AT!
