Live and let live lor... but if you cannot tahan, and dun care about FC... power delivery after 4K rpm is quite good!

[Othello]

ermm ..... where you rushing to ?? such things are always relative. If you full throttle, dun think you will be slow, its a matter of want-or-not ...... anyway, do you think taxis & vans are less powerful than Aveo ?? In fact, many taxis have a 3.0L engine & most vans are at least 2.0L & above ....... even the Daihatsu small van has a 1.3DVVT engine while some of the euro makes are turbo-ed !! dun play play

in that case, live with it lor. anyway thanks for sharing...

[Spango]

I think its like that... My pickup is also verrrrryyyyy slow....

[Othello]

actually, YES, there are stuff you can do to improve ur pickup, but at the end of the day, is the $$$ worth it ?? Things like spark plugs, extractor etc have been discussed to death liao For me, been there, done that, spent $$$ ......... now, I dun spend on such stuff liao. Instead, rather concentrate on cosmetics or ICE improvements...... AND treat myself to good food or holidays instead with the $$ saved ......

If your's a manual car, you can rev it to about 2k rpm before you release the clutch as per normal. Should be able to feel the pick-up this way.

StEP harderrrrrr

[Maded]

Step Harder harder!!! change your filter... and 2k not enuf... 4K!!!! vroom vroom!!!

[Goodspeed]

No lah, 2k rpm cannot get the tyre 'sound', but enough to feel the car surge forward. Should be able to give me a good head start from a traffic light when it turns green. Usually I don't go to so high rpm before releasing the clutch, just around 1.2k ~ 1.5k rpm enough to move forward from a stop position.

 

I've yet to experiment with my car to see where is the optium rpm to achieve max torque.

[Maded]

When I test-driven Aveo, I already feel that the pull factor isn't there. Speed comes at 3th gear though. Didn't you consider it before buying? However, it is also correct that Taxis and Vans have bigger than 1.6CC engine. Those taxis you eat before are just saving fuel.

Your car performance OK right??!
