GLC43 Review from Malaysia


His take on the gearbox was interesting. The bunny hopping characteristic is apparently normal? hehe. I like how he turned the street into a race track. haha

I think I experienced that too in my own GLC43 (see https://mega.nz/#!UV5QgQ6R!Q0w6H5RfP...dnufj9RMgZ6aNQ )

Side note - I'm also a Malaysian (kinda evident from my car plate), and I remembered you asking me where was the Teh-C to my Kopi-O

haha, yeah that was me! love the car plate, yjchua! .. Ive also experienced the 'bunny hop' in sport plus mode. Only once though.. The gear box is pretty smooth though in the other modes. Occasionally it gets a bit happy and downshifts into 2nd a bit early when stopping at traffic lights..

I do think Bobby is a bit of a maniac driver through the streets of M'asia! haha. Couldnt imagine we would get away with that kind of driving on the roads in Australia.

The accelerator is quite sensitive in sport plus mode, this may have something to do with it. I havent been able to replicate the 'bunny hopping' since. Weird!

Bobby Ang's pretty well known in the Malaysian motoring community (along with Paul Tan).

Also, be thankful that radar detectors aren't exactly outlawed in WA. Here in VIC, I can't even enjoy my driving because I always have to constantly glance down at my instrument cluster to make sure that I'm not going 2kph over the limit (speed tolerances in VIC are just downright daft).

Whenever I go back to KL, I always let rip on the highways there, but Bobby's far worse (at least I indicate lmao)
