Gustong-gusto ko nga siya dun sa mga hairpin loops, yun bang mga segments na 180 degree turn na, matarik pa. Kapit na kapit yung mga gulong. I just keep it in D tapos bahala na yung tranny mamili ng gear. If you keep it in 2, well it will just stay there - in 2nd gear, kahit na nakabuwelo na siya. I can even overtake other diesel vehicles along the way, including some Hiluxes :peace:.
me 2! I use the car up to baguio and no sweat. its feels great driving up twisting roads, making use of the torque(where most cars would have trouble climbing) shifting thru the gears.



this maybe a myth but this is the reason why I took a manual tranny instead of auto, because I would like to control the gears pag dating sa incline or when torque is needed... but then again most A/Ts now are very very intelligent
