embarrassing experience on the road

[jumpman]

The Vios actually weighs lighter than the City ler...Vios at 980 Kg and City at 1,000+ Kg..but i must admit.. the rear of the City feels light when ur attempting corners but it very nice to drive in. Vios on the other hand does not feel stable at high speeds..seems very fragile once u hit a certain speed. however, this may vary from different drivers hehe..just my own opinion. perhaps a change of rims wud do the trick?

i've never experience any waja tailgating me yet.. but man, as you've all said they are fast.. one thing though are they capable of stopping effectively and safely at that kind of speed?

overtaking us bimmers is one thing, stopping is another

Actually, the Vios feels more fun to drive overall (Jazz is < 1000kgs City is just over 1000kgs). Jazz handling sucks to be honest from the factory.. However, the Jazz Vtec is quicker than the Vios in the sprint mainly due to the more efficient CVT gearbox and the sport mode which tags the rpm needle at 6k rpms peak power (110ps) throughout the sprint while the Vios is pulling the rev band hitting peak power (109ps) momentarilly only. Also the electronic power steering does not sap engine power unlike hydraulic PS.....

going off topic .... *cabut*

There was this one time on the PLUS Highway on the way to Johor.... i witnessed a bunch of BMWs trailling a 2002 trying to catch up with it.

They sometimes managed to catch up but somehow couldn't overtake it.

not really embarassing, but a story worth telling

today on sunway pyramid i had to swerve to avoid - you guessed it - another bmw e46 3 series. same colour as mine some more... i was on the right and she was on the left... we both wanted to cut into the middle lane... she was more than 1 car behind me... so i put signal... and went in halfway... she tekan and come from the outside push me away... no signal and horn blaring summore.... walau...

but woman drivers ma... i tekan minyak also tapao her... beat her to pyramid carpark... but she still cut queue -.-

guess she had the last laugh (or maybe not - she cant park properly.... nyehehe :nyehehe: )
