hi guys,just got my gen2 cps around april this year. As far that i can remember, there is no major problem with my gen2. Minor prob like "ketak ketak ketak" sound when i open my window..the engine is so smooth n grumbles deeper compared to normal campro.My dad drives a satria neo with normal campro so i can feel the difference of both engine.
From what i've experience, the old campro fitted to neo comes with longer ratio gearbox especially for 3rd gear.Comparing the 3rd gear of neo n gen2 cps u can immediately notice it.neo 3rd gear would take some time to speed up maybe due to the fact that the ratio is longer. gen2 3rd gear is just nice,after shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd gear, the rpm will increase without hassle. For neo,shifting from 2nd to 3rd would need some time for the rpm to increase but if u shift into 3rd gear at high rpm point,there is not much problems.huhu.Donno if u guys can understand what im trying to say or not....huhu.I can drive through road bumps using 3rd gear with gen2 cps but with neo 2nd gear might also stall the engine sometimes.
In terms of engine, gen2 cps really nice la.No jokes at all...Tried with a normal campro gen2,smoked him like 4 cars.Tried with a vios,smoked him too but since it is an auto, his car has faster pick up compared to my slow response shifting.huhu.But when i got into 3rd n 4th gear,no problem at all.
Once the engine rev up more than 4000rpm, i notice that the engine becomes lighter compared to below 4000 rpm. Meaning when 0-4000rpm, the engine is heavy but after 4000rpm it becomes light n a bit power can be squeezed out of it. I enjoy keeping my engine revving more than 4000rpm for extra pick up but minyak also extra used too. Same goes to my dad's neo, revving it more than 4000rpm the engine becomes lighter.
Comparing the cps with normal campro, the campro lagging still exist.With neo, the lag is really really noticeable.when u want to shift up, u pushed the clutch without step on the gas, the rpm suddenly goes up like 500rpm.Sorry to say, with cps engine, the lag still exist but not as high as 500rpm but maybe 100rpm(rough estimation)..maybe becoz they dont use normal mechanical linkage for the gas pedal so this prob exist.But i dont know, this is what i can think off.Some ppl might know the reason for the campro lag.
In terms of handling, cps is good but cant be compared to neo la. Cornering with neo : 140kmj, same corner but with gen2 cps : 120kmj. I hope u guys understand. But gen2 is more comfort than neo,interior also nicer than neo or pesona.
There is not much problem to speed up from 0 to 160 with cps. From 160 to 195 might take some times. Max speed i drove using my cps 195kmj. The steering wheel doesnt shake at all during those acceleration n max speed but when i step on the brakes hard at high speed, the steering do shake a bit but not that hard la. During 195kmj speeding, i do notice that the sound of the engine is so loud.huhuhu. There is a small gush of wind coming into the car from the firewall.how do i know it came through the firewall?i always felt the wind around my leg area.huhu.Maybe got hole at the firewall i guess.
I think dats all that i can tell now, but if u guys want to ask something, no prob.I would try my best to answer it. What i said is based on what i experience so some ppl might experience itdifferently. I dont mind hearing other ppls opinion. We can discuss n create better solution to avoid problems with our cps.
