I bought the new Mz2 hb in Oct last year, it's a basic model, with 15" tyres. I have a very strange driving experience that I myself don't understand and still trying to figure out what could be wrong so much that it's brought me to register for this forum in order to type my first post here.

 

So my problem is that when I'm driving the car I feel that the change of gears from 1 - 2, from 2 to 3 is not smooth, jerky and sometimes unexpected. At times, even after gear was shifted up, it seemed like it made a turn for a downshift of gear (even though I was not trying to slow down), or at least that's what I thought because I felt the car jerks. This happens intermittently.

Also, typically upon stepping on the accelerator pedal, it gives a loud engine noise before it shifts continuously from 1 to 2 and 3.

On the contrary it's quite a smooth drive on 4th/5th gear (without jerks) on the expressway.

Overall driving the Mz2 gives me the 'floating' feeling. I don't know if this is due to the 15" tyre and should I go ahead to change the tyres to 16" in order to help me feel more 'grounded'.

All these has affected me terribly as I get headaches /motion sickness after driving the car. Some days it got so bad that I'm afraid to drive the car.

 

I have brought it back to Leng Kee for the 1000km service, and took the mechanic on a test drive in attempt to describe my problem, but they couldn't find a problem with it and instead I was told that the problem lies with the way I drive. For the record I have at least 20 years of driving experience both manual and auto transmission.

 

All comments welcome, as I'm on the verge of changing the car.

Seems to be like the problem is with the driver, not the car.
