IMO i have some doubts with those break-in periods. Eh kung sa factory plant pa nga lang they Dyno each car after release. i think the Break-in period is there so you'll be driving your new vehicle carefully so you won't destroy or prematurely wear new engine components.
with my case, i drive my car normally with hataw mode on the side even if its new.
^ the eng'r of car companies designed cars to have break-in period para in the long run ay mas magiging maganda performance. Unless nagwowork tayo mismo sa car company (sa manufacturing mismo at alam natin yung totoo), better to be safe than sorry. Follow the manual.![]()
Fasten your seatbelt! Or else...Driven To Thrill!
My SA has informed me that my GT-V is in port sa Manila waiting to be shipped to Cebu. From Cebu it will then be re-shipped to Ormoc. Hopefully I will have it next week![]()
You are dead right Sir. The persons who write them do so for a reason. Although cars to not have to be broken-in and head tightened like in the past, it makes good sense not to put undue stress on a new enigine. This would usually mean keeping it in a varried rev range, and in the case of a manual transmission, not coming near stalling speed by been in to high a gear.
Got Our 4x4 Montero Black GT-V.. Picture will be posted tomorrow.. I am too lazy to have one right now..
- Ride Comfort is the same as the Old Montero..
- Shifting is not as good as what I had expected but it's acceptable..
- Turbo Lag is there..
- Fastest speed so far = 100kph at more or less 2k rpm..
- Brake is better compared to our 4x4 Montero GLS SE 3.2 2009 Model..
- Sound Qualtiy is Acceptable..(I need more time to observe..)
- AC is Good
- Steering is Heavier than our Old Montero but it's okay..
That's it for now Guys..![]()
According to SA, going to get my GTV within the week. No definite date when though![]()
to add:
ok lang naman patakbuhin ng mabilis basta smooth acceleration, and dapat dont stay on same speeds, dapat varying speeds, to seat the rings and other moving things properly, same goes when braking, smooth din to seat the pads properly.
kahit mag 120kph, basta smooth acceleration, hindi birit ng birit
Depende lang sa nag-may-ari ng CRV, sympre brand new bro, ni halos ayaw mo ngang ma-gasgasan.
Anyway ang reputation ng Honda cars ay mapagkatiwalaan talaga ever since. kaya nga kami ng kaibigan ko nong papunta kami ng Subic lumabas kami ng Tarlac via Hacianda Luisita entering to eskitiksano pa ba gagawin doon with Plus factor na gasoline ang pangatong ng CRV, eh di hataw pre
