As Desmond (KL Auto) said last week, he got several units of HU (improved version) in his stock, but unfortunately he still unable to get the original HU panel (front fascia) for SX as of last week. Anyway, kindly contact Desmond for any updated info on this. But for EX, he still has 1 panel left to grab. So for EX bros, siapa cepat dia dapat wink.gif bro prominen?? racun bro..racun..hehe

item 1 is come with grounding cable i believe.. and it's autodim right?


p/s: frankly i dont know the red color usage for item no 1. check with seller please.. i know black color is for grounding..

hey guys, I'm a bit confused in FC calculation. Hope you can share with me.

The display shows 8.5L/100KM - which is about RM0.15725/KM. However, when I calculate manually (pump BHP RON 95 RM92.18/49.82L, and divided by milleage 531KM), it shows RM0.1735/KM.

Hope you can share your FC calculation. Thanks!

Somebody feedback in FB that it may cause by weak remote signal. Maybe next time(touchwood, if happen again) we can immediately change with spare remote and see if we can start the car immediately.

If u prefer bigger car + extra useful features + extra safety, go for the 2.0 Forte. If u concern more on the FC, City will give u better FC figures. But dont take my words wrongly, Forte 2.0 also offers good FC especially on highway drive which i personally clocked an average of 6.1-6.7L/100km with the average speed of 110km/h. Not to mention the extra 'kick' that i have under the hood  if i need it for overtaking or whatsoever. For a 100% town driving, a figure of 9-11L/100km can be achieved depending on how bad the traffic is. The FC is comparable to most other 2.0 car in the same segment i must say.

For service centres, i've gone to 3 different Nazakia SCs as of now,  so far so good & i have to say that the bill for the scheduled maintenance for Forte are lower than the City (even for the Forte 2.0), not to say the Civic which is costlier.

So, at the end of the day, it is up to u to decide based on your priorities in getting a car. It is your money & your pleasure anyway. Buy the one that u need/like, not the one that others like..wish u happy choosing bro  nod.gif

thanks for replying bro, after looking and looking, finally decided on a black or silver forte 2.0...will be joining u guys once the process gets started..thanks iz!! notworthy.gif

Use manual calculation. The computer often underestimates the FC.

49.82L/531km = 9.4L/100km... pretty good if you're using it 100% city driving.

Meh. Segments are wrong.
Focus = C-segment (compact), not midsize (D-segment).
Camry = midsize, not large.
Passat CC = midsize, not compact.

Looks like in M'sia, segment is determined by pricing and not size.
