The Test Drives

Recently i went for a test drives on different cars
u can say that i juz wanna try different cars for different experiences
o maybe i'll think of change my ride soon
haha

i tried the VIVA recently when my friend bought
it's the top spec of 1000cc on manual gear
VIVA's power not bad, shifting the gear kinda like Hondas
but when cornering feels kinda soft
that might cause the stability weak when cormering wif 60km/h o even worse in tight corners
the engine room;s quite small n filled
that might makes the modification on the engine get a bit complicated
since it does not hav much space unless ppl would like to extend it

last sunday
friend of mine ask me to accompany him for a test drive at honda
what gets me interested is the honda civic
new honda civic that has already stay in the market for 1 year
while my friend was testing honda city
i was in the Civic

the civic was 1.8 wif 5 speed automatic transmission gear box
of coz the civic is i-vtec wif 140hp if i not mistaken
the test drive unit of civic has the modulo bodykit on it also!
that makes the car looks better wif the skirts eh~

the honda dealer told us that the car is one of the lowest cars among the production cars
what i can see when i sit on the driver's seat
feels like a cockpit in a jet eh?
the concept feeling~ haha

the car was quite quiet when the engine starts
so we giv it a try on the road
it speeds up to 100km/h quietly n shortly
u wont feel that's the speed if u don look at the meter
coz the car is pretty comfortable
quiet from inside
til the big cross way that car lead the car to the freight over near king center
we turn over heading to the freight over that can bring us to airport
of coz i din think of going to airport that time
so i full throttle on the fuel n see how fast can we go
there were 5 adults in the car together wif me
the gear shift at the point of 7000rpm
quite smooth n powerful even its kinda heavy when there 5ppl's in the car
how fast did we go?
i pressed the car til 140km/h when we reach the bridge near the school
well
the car's quite powerful then juz too bad there's no 2.0 model to test drive
else we can go faster beyond that point
the braking is pretty good n the stabalizer's working pretty nice either
that makes the car comfortable, a different class of sedan~
nothing much to complain about that car
very nice car
n i'm waiting for the Type R to come
though there might don hav any test drive available for it
it stil a gorgeous car in my mind

actually there's another car i wanna try
too bad there's no one working that day
n that's new isuzu d-max wif the projector headlamps
that would b a fun ride eh
