So i can be in full mode MT anytime with this paddle shifters?

I don't know about 1.6.. But my 2.0 will auto shift up the gear if I accelerate > 7k rpm. Same goes for slowing down.. The car will auto lower the gear for me

works the same for 1.6 i can confirm that - basically when you reach near the redline the gearbox will auto shift up to prevent damage on the engine and when you brake, it will gear down automatically too to prevent a stall.. what u can do with the paddles and the gears (plus and minus sign) are the same. the one on the elantra is just missing the paddle shifters but they could still use the semi-auto gearbox to treat them like "paddle shifters" but it wont have the same feeling la

really not the same at all~~~

But why would anyone wanna rev till red line? - -"

I test drive 1.6 before, D is full auto, cannot use paddle shift.
while M gear go down auto when car slowing down but upgear is fully manual.

anyone can tell what is the spec of the new HU? can play HD movie? flv?mp4?avi?rmvb?mpg? or just can play DVD disc for movie?

By the way, anyone have any idea about the loan interest rate for Forte? and which bank is better?

guys, any recommended SA from ipoh???
going to buy it real soon...

SA told me for 1.6SX normally the interest would be 2.54 or 2.53 the best.
But it also depends on the loan amount and duration of repayment.
Mine is based on 7 years with 70K loan.

pickup faster lor..duh..higher RPM will give u surge of power..imagine u low RPM with high gear..your pickup/acceleration will slow like kura-kura

I've been driving for about 7 years. And all of them are with kelisa. Now with the sudden change of car length lol.. well you get the picture..

Maybe u can try to increase the height of the seat? Then will be able to see the front of the car clearer so u won't bump into anything.

Just nw jam at persiaran kewajipan thay time i checked the average fuel consumption on my panel..webt up to 20 l/100km..normal ah?

Actually I already scratched the lowest part of the front body kit.. Didn't even heard a thing.. I only noticed it when I first washed my car..... Sakit hati... It's really a minor 1.. but it's caused by those low humps at front when I do tight turning for tagging access cards/inserting parking ticket in parking lots..

You know la those badly positioned ticket machines..

Oh, OK, i understand what you mean. That you need to be more alert.
Well I think driving more and more on your new car will make you more aware of the distance you need to keep.

i see. that makes sense..well you just need to drive more and improve your estimation in future, you'll get better i'm sure

I once caught in extreme bad jam near PJ, I manage to score 99l/100km! (no joke). Hence, 20l/100km consider norm during such jam circumstances.
