Vk**l, Ll**r, etc all also cheap tint only. What makes them not cheap is the brand itself.

Huh? Really??
Care to explain/enlighten me on how you came to this conclusion bro? I'd really like to know..

haha, i quite agree also, my friend make 3m tinted, after 3 years, now when i step u his car, i feel my car tinted better even mine is cheaper, i think even branded, after 2-3 yaats also become not so good, so i choose rm500 range , use few years then make a new tint again tongue.gif
those branded 1 is more nice a bit, but the price sleep.gif" really not cheap

Serious? Is it really that bad after 2-3 years, with branded auto-tint films?
If it's not too much to ask, could you give a little more insight/info on this?i

I'm a little puzzled.
You bought your car in Nov/Dec 2012?
Is it still required to get the extended warranty letter?
I was under the impression that the letter is for owners whom bought te first batch (4-speed gbox) only.

The price tell. Best from the list is Toyo...bear in mind different brand/model tires have different 'characteristic', some best in dry/wet grip, some best in comfort (usually wear and tear higher due to softer side wall), you can't have both balance.

If you ask for it, they will issue you very detail warranty letter ( i think 5 pages at least) which tell what is cover, what is no etc...

guys just wondering which car will have better petrol saving, between 1.6L and 2.0L.

Now to my understanding, 1.6L should be more petrol saving if
1) More to city drive (70%)
2) Less to highway drive (30%)

2.0L should be more petrol saving if
1) Less to city drive (30%)
2) More to highway drive (70%)

Now, of course other consideration are such as how you press the pedal, how often you break, your driving style, etc. So let say for general knowledge, is my understanding correct?

A friend told me that 2.0L is more petrol saving irregardless if you have more city or highway drive. his explanation was Forte is a heavy car and if you have more than 3 ppl sit inside your car, then 1.6L is underpower. Whereby 2.0L is powerful enough irregardless of the no of ppl sit inside.

I tried to reason saying that the petrol needed by 1.6L is lower, even though there are 3 ppl sitting inside the car.

so now, which is which?

Dear Bro,
I noticed the above mentioned include GAS. Is it recomend to pump in GAS or normal air like we can pump our tyre in petrol station. Can we pump in our tyre mixed with GAS & the normal air ? If not in case of emergency , how ? Please remember we have to pay to tyre shop if we need to fill up GAS into our tyres. Please advise. TQ

If the car is underpowered, I think the fuel consumption will be higher.

2.0 is good if the traffic is smooth even in the city. a lot of stop go and waiting at traffic light will increase fuel consumption.

so are you confirming to me that 1.6L is underpower for Forte?

or you just just telling me if underpower, then fuel consumption will be higher?


another question, if alot of stop and go at traffic light, will 2.0 makan more minyak compare to 1.6?
