for those who do highway driving, does the insight feel floaty at higher speeds?
felt a bit floaty during cornering on hiway at 160km/h.
I would say it is stable and better than my wife's honda city.

and how many speakers are there in the car? 2 tweeters & 4 mids?

They are definitely floaty at 150km/h, but not as bad as vios frankly speaking. The floaty feel is contributed by low cd, in which the coefficient is very apparent at high speeds. It is noticeable, but not serious, all thanks to its improved suspension.
Ways to stabilize the car are using wider profile tyre, and lowering the cg of the car (maybe lowering profile of the ride or installing bodykit which improves air flow undercarriage, like mugen bk, hehe)

4 mids. Even Honda Malaysia were to provide tweeters, I doubt u can live with them forever. The quality of the mids r nothing to shout about. I suggest u to change all speakers. Having said that, at least the sound system is better than the stock ford fiesta. It's a pain in the ears, lol. Never had I heard such shit speakers from a stock car. No offense.

Yup better than City E, much better than Vios, i would say its even more stable than Altis @160km/h. Less those side to side sensation.

For better, fuller sounds u need a sub. an active one is more than enough.

how much is an active subwoofer and 2 tweeters? & would it void any warranties? my SA is a bit on the cautious side, asking me to enjoy the OEM system 1st before doing anything but but but it sucks. shakehead.gif

can someone post a picture of the area where you are finding the oil stain please. i look around the engine bay this morning, everything looks ok

btw dunno why this car the bonnet very susceptible to stone chips. found a couple already. cry.gif

and one more thing, do you find that your wiper is leaving a mark on your windscreen? usually its dirt but they are very difficult to clean off. is the wiper scratching into the glass? can it be adjusted?

yup my bonnet is also chipped here and there. it's common for all cars... even my past 2 cars faced same issue. just the reality of today's lifestyle... where we have to share roads w/lorries carrying construction/bricks/stones. sigh.

on wiper mark - its common for me also. just use a glass cleaner and wipe.

yes, it happened to most cars i believe.
try use rainx or similar liquid for better water resistance. it help to reduce the dust/stain mark on the windscreen.

on stone chip, i count it everytime i washed my car... so far only 1 spot ... and 1 small stone chip on the windscreen when it was hit by a stone dropped from a big truck. very heart broken.

Hi I had that problem with the wipers as well .. you can use car clay to rub it off ... very easy.

Yup stone chips are a fact of life ... especially driving on the highways ... got a couple of them on my car ...
