Yo man.
Hi from Shanghai.
I get my Emira last week and enjoy the pics.

Congrats! Which one is yours? Is it an i4?

yeah it is.

i4 yellow one.

No doubt Hethel Yellow will stand out from the crowd in Shanghai ! Enjoy and drive safely ( at the moment, China seems to be leading in the number of crashed Emiras ;-)

Thanks & Yeah I am quite enjoying.

Hi there in Shanghai. Car looks great! We are all dying to know what the i4 drives like in the real world and in particular, how do you find the transmission? I realise the car is still very new, so assume you have probably not had much chance to drive it very hard yet! It would be great tp hear your first impressions and verdict on the car so far? and of course more pics when you get chance!

Please give your impressions of the I4?

Please give your impressions of the I4?

I tried both I4 and 6.
i4 sold better in China mostly because of the import tax difference：9% vesus 25%.
i4 has better fuel economy ;
turbocharging voice(personally like it);
when speed up, you can feel the turbo( less linearity),
Also I find out 2 bugs these days and raised to my sales.

Congratulations!

How are you finding the DCT? Is there a delay when manually shifting up and down?

I tried and can not feel the delay.

I tried and can not feel the delay.

Not saying that @Chaos is wrong, but most people don't know what "no delay" feels like. The 8G-DCT is probably average or slightly better than average for a DCT transmission. A truly great DCT implementation completes a shift within 100-150ms of the shift command. Here's an interesting video where you can hear the difference between a 100ms and 300ms latency. Note the time gap between the two clicks. The 8G-DCT upshifts with about a 300ms delay - but downshifts are about 3x longer.
