Philipkee Twincharged September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 Don't see this thread before but I think it was discussed before in other forums. How do you move off or accelerate in an auto car? Do you 1) jam the accelerator 2) move off slowly, release accelerator, press again and release then press.... 3) light pressing of accelerator until desired speed I believe few will do number 1. But I heard driving instructors teach both 2&3 so lai lai let's discuss. Who do what and why and is it better? We had a thread on manual cars so let's talk about auto cars. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 all i know i am most of the time the first off the line, unless the car next to me is a stinger. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope_n_pray 2nd Gear September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 For me, either (1) or (3) depending on mood. If I want to play with the gears, will just use steptronic to control. Somehow, my current car likes to hold the current gear even if I release throttle. My previous car would shift up to the next gear once throttle is released sufficiently. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiralty 4th Gear September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 With family; always 3... When alone (sometime only, and I am 1st car in the line, no bike around me); switch to sport mode...make myself happy for a few short mins... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopites Supersonic September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 (edited) none of the above for me. I drive with stage acceleration. press ..hold..press further..hold. it more like accelerating in stages. let the car achieve the optimal rpm before pressing further if in need of speed. same go for breaking..I tap..hold without releasing..gradually step amd hold..in stages until the car come to a stop.

StingerGT 5th Gear September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 Press pedal enough to accelerate to speed limit or whatever desired speed.. maintain if traffic allows, no traffic, press somemore.. more & more. With family; always 3... When alone (sometime only, and I am 1st car in the line, no bike around me); switch to sport mode...make myself happy for a few short mins... Usually I’m on Sports mode all the time, even with wife in the car. Haha. Only on rare occasions when I’m fetching her folks or mine, Comfort mode it is then. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 This reminds me of my previous manager who was driving a Vios. One fine day he asked me out for lunch. I was his passenger in the Vios. Goodness, the way he drove was horrible. Step on accelerator, let go of accelerator completely for the gear to change up, then step again. Repeated process until desired speed. I think he was not happy when I remarked that he did not need to release the accelerator completely and that the gearbox will shift up in a smoother manner if he didn't do that. He didn't ask me out for lunch after that 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a thread on manual cars so let's talk about auto cars. 1) It will actually save the most fuel, esp if u can achieve desired cruise speed and stay there. Up to u to believe 2) Most fuel guzzling method to drive. Shorten torque converter life. Vomit inducing ride. If you are a Grab driver, prep to receive 1 or 0 star from passenger 3) It actually waste more fuel driving this way as compared to Pt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiralty 4th Gear September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 Being young is so gooood; spot mode all the time, wife at most grabbed something in the car and enjoy the ride with you..... 20+ years after I promote my GF to Wife, and now Home-minister...occasionally I get the death-stare if I perform sudden acceleration or fast lane-change... You must be loved deep-deep by your folks & hers...for being considerate...
