anyone experience the VSA activated before? This morning when I on the way came to work, there was a puddle of water on the road and I didn't take note on it and continue with the same speed; maybe 80km/h.

when I drove across the puddle, the car suddenly like braking itself and slow down for a second. Is this considered VSA activated? I didn't notice whether the VSA light got on or not.

This is new experience for me as last time I felt differently on my myvi where one side of my car will be floating in the air if I drive across such puddle.

get PP (made in taiwan) as it is much expensive than ABS and PU if i'm not wrong.

ABS can be cracked easier coz the material is so hard and thin. PU's design looks nicer for the side skirting if you have compared it with PP before, some more PU b/kit got FORTE badge on it; pretty cool. however i still got the PP b/kit

yes forte 2.0 is very worth to get it, previously I was also looking forte 2.0 but got the 1.6sx instead as I am very resistance to take the leather seat.

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:28 pmi like elantra too but when i sit at rear seat, i feel quite pressure due to the low ceiling and I really dont like their rear panel of the front seats; so plastic like taxi.

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:32 pmhi guys,
i am quite confuse as after i set it to auto + choose the inside air circulation (auto wording will be disappear), but the air cond is still run automatically where the fan will blow harder is the internal temperature is much higher.

is this still considered fully automatic or what does the auto meaning here?

---

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:33 pmi only set it once to inside circulation and every time when I turn on the aircond, it will stick with the inside circulation.

---

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:35 pmyeah, I want to know as well. How much for the trade in and how much to get the 16" rim + the 16" tyres. previously I did think to downgrade it automatically when I got the 1.6sx but after driving for some time, i changed my mind as 17" is not that bad as what I had imagined before; FC & comfortable are still acceptable except the tyre is a bit noisy

---

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:39 pmdont worry so much, get the car and test for a week. if not comfortable then baru downgrade it to 16" la..
last time i read so many topic about forte and so many things to worry like FC, comfortable, engine knocking noise, rattling noise, windscreen cracking and etc. made me so dilemma but after i got the car, I just love it. worrying is normal but don't worry too much

thanks for your feedback. I do have the answer why outside air is preferred coz I rajin read the user manual. The manual says if we continue to breath in the inside air circulation for long period, the chances for us to fall asleep is higher and easier especially for long journey driving maybe due to lack of oxygen.

yalo, all the buttons are so near to us.
but isn't it design in this way with memory setting? i don't think it is faulty.

Added on June 22, 2012, 7:00 amyaya, very cool but not cheap. RM1699 for front and RM899 for rear?

the 60K KM is for 4 tyres or just the front one? coz normally the front tyre will be worn out 1st right.

how can I measure the remaining thread like urs 45%? just experience or accurate way to measure it?

Added on June 22, 2012, 11:16 pmserdang jaya 1 is quite professional and details. i think they didnt wrap the seat but they do put a paper on the carpet. anyway i think it is better to wrap the car seat



btw, does SC allow us bring our own aircond filter, engine filter or even spark plug? I know engine oil is not allowed but how about these components?

---

Added on June 22, 2012, 11:20 pmany idea how much price difference between MC5 and CC5? specs are just the same when browsing their website.

Added on June 23, 2012, 5:32 pmlike others said, 2K discount actually is not so attractive. better wait for new stock unless you are really urgent to get the car or more cash rebate; maybe 3K.

Added on June 24, 2012, 11:13 pmyou can try sierra glow RM650 or RM100++ if you dont mind to DIY and much cheaper; you can get the permanon from forum garage sales corner. btw i chose the 2nd option

hey guys,
what are the best speed for good FC? 90km/h, 110km/h?

so far my 1.6sx gives me 1.75 cents per KM (based on fuel/mileage, not taking from the L/100KM); now the ODO is 3000KM.

---

Added on June 26, 2012, 1:13 pmeven altis, slyphy also got such vibration, rattling noise problem if you spend some time to read their forum. Hope mine 1 still stay quiet as least for these few years



This post has been edited by Intel@Atom: Jun 26 2012, 01:13 PM

why? FC too high?
for me, I think quite reasonable since slyphy, civic also around that figure.

sorry dude.
it should be 17.5cents. lolx...

ya. it is a quiet car, these few days i did miss out twice and forgot to turn off the engine before get down from the car. only realized the engine was still running after i found that I couldn't lock the car... lolx.

before that, thanks to its weight. it is very nice to drive in highway. every time also accidentally speed up to 130/140 KM/h...

you're damn right ...



Hi,
anyone mind to share what is this adjustment for?

Attached thumbnail(s)

i tot the most left knob already can control the speed of the wiper?

hi guys,
did you guy register the speednavi by yourself? I think most of our speednavi are registered by the SA but i think if the hardware is under our name after registration then we can download the map and update by ourselves rather than speed few hours go to SC and beg them to update for us.

I asked my SA to transfer the hardware ownership to me but until now still no news.. zzZZ

anyone has more insight about this?

http://speednavi.com/

you can try to use the H/W, S/W and License codes to register under speednavi.com but mostly it will tell u that the hardware has been registered.

thanks. is this std for korean car? or being widely used?
