so far my previous survey and observation China Made can be as low as RM50-150/set which best to avoid (LED bulb easily kong
and not weather-proof casing)
mid-range about RM200-320 which I'm using (the more LED bulbs, the more expensive) which is Taiwan Made, durability is OK, shines brightly and OK..
the only complain is that the front light cover doesn't glued nicely from the factory.. water can go in a little bit..
if the proper and high quality DRL you're after, go for the Philips/Hella brand DRL (minimum RM550/set - 4 bulbs per side)..
Philips looks more sophisticated and Hella looks abit unker-ish.. 7 bulbs per row could cost RM750++ excluding installation..
the more LED bulbs the more sporty and visibility for others on day-time..

I see...nice information.
BTW today i just went to tested the elantra 1.6. So finally the result is...same like what you say,nothing special except outlook.
power still the same with my persona 1.6, inside like kosong, no bluetooth answer car,no touch screen, it make me more firm to get a forte.
And ya, now i am more firm to get a koup as well ( because hardly considering about what you told me that day), spend a little bit more on each month, and then can get a car that you really really very very like.
Will go to find SA tomorrow for further discussion.
Hopefully can get best deal la. Looking for Mr.Edwin.

Have you tested properly before on the Honda CR-Z ?? If you haven't done that, you're just cheating yourself.. tongue.gif
Who cares about clients sees you driving what kinda car ? the important thing is you will gonna have fun and love driving it for the next
5 years and so on.. !

Keep in mind that 110k brand new 2 door cars they're not meant to be called "hot hatch" and drag racing car..
these 2 doors coupes are just for "show" of its aggresive and trendy styling only.. eye candy purpose with abit hint
of sport car (low seating position, sharp handling / stability, grip only).. rolleyes.gif

my Swift kena stolen towed away at Suria KLCC car park back in 2004..

guys, would like to get some information from you all here. any idea ab the camber reading for kia forte 1.6sx? my camber reading is -2deg(red) for Front LHS and -1deg(green) for Front RHS, NZK Selayang insisted that this is within the range of the spec. I previously told them that my tie-rod is bent(after consulting with 2 tyre-shops) and they insisted that was not the case. Lost confidence.

When I checked mine on tyre shop, mine have -1deg on Front RHS (red). I brought back to KIA SC and they said this is OK and tyre shop trying to earn money only. Tyre shop asked to pay extra RM45 to fix the camber even I bought new rim from their shop. hmm.gif

I also wondering who should I trust... Now very difficult to find good and honest tyre shop.

if Forte have both front -0.05deg.. later car will have pull left issue.. to me nothing wrong having -1deg as long as not more than -2deg..

wokay.. Forte Koup is alright to have 2 rear passengers comfortably with enough leg and headroom..

Hyundai Veloster is out from consideration coz of its small engine which doesn't match with coupe sporty exterior.. and is a price of Civic 2.0.. !!

If you change tyre, more comfort ride and reduce noise. Also you can get more cash back because of new tyre. Make sure you change to good tyre otherwise just wasting money.. no point to change.

Change rim - for better good looking and special unique of course. Change to light weight rim will help on City Drive when car stop/start... less dragging...
