3.Does the gearbox hunt between 3rd and 4th when cruising at highway.


From my experience driving a Waja with the same gearbox (but diff engine, 4G18), the gearbox does not hunt, but it downshifts very aggressively. The shifting pattern is actually to my taste, but I've read a lot of forummers' disapproval of it

6.Can it win traffic light drag.


I think I'll be making a fool of myself challenging people in traffic light drags. But I'll test its off-the-line acceleration for sure.

7.The aircon.I want to know if the large glass area affect the temperature.


I'll need to get my mother's help on this. She's more fussy with air-cons. When I drive my MC3 around, I can handle the blower and thermostat at its minimum setting, she needs to raise it.

How about 100-0?
Any blind spot (front n back view without open window or door)


100-0 can be done together with 0-100

Blind spot test is in the agenda.

Please do a direct comparison with reconditioned Toyota Wish.


A comparison test will be done, but it's not against the Toyota Wish. I will reveal the identity of the other car when the article is published.

We actually do that as standard on all cars, but if nothing special we won't report it. Tried it over the weekend on D-Max with rear leaf springs. Wah, damn syok... smile_big.gif smile_thumbup.gif

After 1,000km. I don't think that'll be an issue. The test car they'll be giving me must have went through quite a few journalists already anyway.
