Reason was I drove mum's Focus for a week and I couldn't get used to the ride being smooth and quiet and the "slow-takeoff" (Might be only mum's car). |
Re: Slow takeoff.
With my last Fez, for the 1st 1000km I was advised by the dealer to flog the guts out of it, and seeing as it was the first manual car I'd ever driven, I did what I concidered flogging it.
Now I have my 2nd Fez & know how to drive a manual, I know how to drive it properly & really push the revs. So up until about a week ago I have been caning my Fez, the difference between driving the 1st & 2nd Fez is remarkable.
My current Fez is twice as quick off the mark, twice as responsive & twice as fun to drive as the last one.
So for the 1st 1000km or so with your Mum's car, maybe it wasn't pushed so hard?
