I really cannot believe this...

The driver CANNOT change the gear on his/her own in new Accord Hybrid!!!

My son's new Accord Hybrid does have two paddle shifters behind the steering wheels. However, those paddle shifters only used to adjust the recharging load for the hybrid battery when the car slows down!!! (Actually, my son's Accord even does NOT has a tachometer!!!)

PS: There is a final(good old) solution... That's FLOOR the throttle!!! (If once is not enough, then do it TWICE!!! Of course, as a result you cannot drive that Accord aggressively and SMOOTHLY like my GSF)

Be honest... Actually in 2017 when I began to drive my current GSF(my previous car was 2007 G35S), I also felt a bit frustrated!!! 笑到噴淚

Thank GOD!!! Not too long, I realized I had to change the gear on my own if I didn't use SPORT+ mode!!!

PS: Actually my GSF's SPORT+ mode is very good on highway but it's a little TOO AGGRESSIVE on low speed local streets!!! 這我不行

I also checked this web site https://www.automobile-catalog.com/...

2024 M3 6 speed manual >>>> about 3000rpm at 80mph, which is about the same as 2007 G35S and 2010 M35X

2024 M3 8 speed auto >>>> about 2000rpm at 80mph, which is about the same as my GSF at normal mode

2024 M340i 8 speed auto >>>> about 2000rpm at 86mph

2017 GSF 8 speed auto at SPORT+ mode >>>> about 3500rpm at 80mph!!! (I prefer changing gears by myself as I can do 4000rpm, 4500rpm or even hefty 5000rpm downshifts!!! rock

Believe it or not...

Now my Ohlins damper settings are softer than before but my daughter complains she gets car sick in my GSF on the road!!! My current Ohlins suspension is about as stiff as 911 GT3!!!

So, don't be fooled by those comments like Japanese cars are too soft and you could get car sick in Japanese cars. (I was fooled by those stupid comments in the past!!!)

Actually, if your family get car sick in your car, the first thing you need to do is SLOW DOWN!!! Buying a German car will NOT help!!! Will your new German car be stiffer than 911 GT3??? OF COURSE NOT!!! Even M3/M4/M5 Competition is a bit softer than 911 GT3, not to mention those ordinary German cars or SUVs... 拇指向下

Actually my current Ohlins settings are 8/13(1:firmest, 15-30:softest) which are still very stable and well damped!!! (Just that immediate handling becomes a little slower)

On some very tough roads, the rebound is still only ONCE and NO MORE!!! But, at softer damper setting, at the rear the rebound is not TOO QUICK or the dampers don't stop bouncing springs TOO ABRUPTLY. So, the ride becomes a bit more comfortable!!! 拇指向上

(Not sure why the rebound at the rear is still a little too strong, even though the rear setting is already very soft???

I think I should try 8/15 or 8/20 in the future...)

You may say I drove my GSF too fast. That's why my daughter got car sick!!! Actually my daughter got car sick even though my wife drove my GSF!!!

Then, I said to my daughter that now, every car could let you get car sick including 911 GT3. Guess what... My daughter said "NOT REALLY???" Actually, her boyfriend car didn't let her get car sick!!!

Then, I asked what your boyfriend car was???

(Be ready! You really cannot believe this!!! 這我不行

)

My daughter said "My boyfriend car is 2014 Highlander!!!" WHAT???

(Why??? That's because his boyfriend always drives his old Highlander slowly and smoothly!!!)

This also reminds me of that rental M4 Competition in 2018!!! Just like what my wife said when she rode inside that rental M4 competition... Be mindful! Be mindful! Be mindful what??? Be mindful your passenger!!!

PS: I swear the above conversation is exactly what I heard from my daughter!!! 真心不騙

I think I was really fooled by those stupid comments!!!

OK! OK! I admit I'm not so smart. My son is a bit smarter than me. That's why my son is a Stanford student, not me. When I was young, I only could attend vocational high school, not formal high school!!! (I failed on the entrance exam!!!)

PS: In 1994 I was a graduate student in a state university in USA. Now, many of my classmates are still driving Toyota/Honda, not Lexus/Acura in USA. Some of my classmates were graduated from NTU or similar in Taiwan!!! However, no one, only I'm driving a very expensive Lexus now!!! rock

Believe it or not... My son is very smart but he even doesn't know how to install that new license plat for his new Accord!!! (Again... NO ONE is perfect!!!)

Believe it or not...

Actually I drive my GSF even faster than before when I soften down the damper settings on my Ohlins!!!

Now, My GSF ride becomes smoother... And, I also become even more confident and aggressive on cornering!!! 無法冷靜

(Not sure if this is good or bad? More dangerous??? Knock on wood!!!)

Today I rode in my son's new Accord again...

Again, I still sat in the passenger seat and my son was still the driver. Again, the traffic was still very busy. Actually, this time the traffic was even worse!!!

As before, my son still slammed the gas and brake constantly to prevent any cut-ins. Guess what... Now, even I got car sick!!!

Not sure why I felt so uncomfortable in his new Accord???(I could feel my head back and forth every time my son slammed gas or brake)

So, I asked my son if he drove his old G35S at the same(aggressive) way... He said "YES!!!" Be honest! I never felt any similar discomfort in that old G35S. Maybe the traffic was not that bad in the past!!!

PS: The suspension of that old G35S was PSS10 with 6/4 settings... (10 is the firmest and 1 is the softest)

I asked my son again... "Do you change your driving style recently???" My son said "YES!!!"

My son said "Since he studied in Stanford University, his driving style became a bit more aggressively, as the class loading was very high!!!"

Actually, my son studied in Taiwan before. He was NOT the smartest in the class in Taiwan. He admitted actually, there were still 10-15% smarter than him!!! I think that's why I kept buying faster cars in Taiwan. Working in Taiwan is A LOT OF pressure for me, as at least 30% people are smarter than me!!! 真心不騙

PS: Believe it or not... My son's previous school was a very good university in California(Just not as good as Stanford) In that school, he was playing online games almost ALL THE TIME and still got almost 4.0 FULL SCORE in that school!!! 真心不騙
