QUOTE(MR_alien @ Dec 9 2013, 03:39 PM) it was not a brand new car....its a recon he asked for my opinion which is better.....i recommend diesel but he dn't wanna listen...so no choice and BTW...all of the diesel car in our country are RM100k and up also I also got recond turbo diesel.. so far no issues but mechanic says have to service more often. Noise acceptable coz nvh quite good.. personally, I like the macho growl of a diesel engine.. But I always joke and tell ppl I drive lorry.. as long as I ok, don't care what other ppl think |

QUOTE(dtna7 @ Dec 12 2013, 12:10 AM) If performance is what you are after, you don't want a diesel. some people here don't even know what they are talking about apart from reading spec sheets. Diesel cars do not outrun people in highways, if a 50m stretch of city drag race is considered a race, yes, you can "smoke" people.  diesels are great for HIGHWAY, you get great FC, on par with hybrid really. Not on City. RM120 for 600km 100% city is NOTHING compared to a hybrid. Proper hybrid like HSD can do 600km in half the price. Another example of ignorant posting Basically diesels are great for city drive with the torque, trying to challenge other petrol heads in a long stretch road is just pure ignorant of your own car. But FC wise diesel are much better at highway, while city is nothing to shout about really. Don't believe what i posted? feel free to clarify via Mr Google. Does hybrid have that kinda torque nowadays? Never driven one before. . Maybe wi'll try the next time they bring in 4x4 hybrid.. But 4x4 hybrid just sounds weird right now |

QUOTE(MeToo @ Dec 12 2013, 12:36 PM) Its a given as usually petrol cars comes with higher HP if cc being equal. But, how fast we wanna go on the highway? I usually dont push anything above 220.... if someone still coming at those speed i wont bother to push anymore, why bother push to 230/240/250... sure u can go... but the safety/risk ratio just went thru the roof. So reckon anything above 200kmh is kinda a moot point. Bro. . With yr pickup. . If someone come fast also no need to bother.. coz yr ride is big and they can't see front they will slow down.. They Flash also no point.. coz ye bumper so high can't feel the flash also. As long as you not doing 30kmh on fast Lane la. . Lol. . |

QUOTE(MeToo @ Dec 12 2013, 02:51 PM) Cannot lah... like that become road hogger jor.. too much le  Lol..I meant if we already doing 120kmh and yet the little ones wanna Flash.. Let them la. . I'll take my time to move in coz he can't do anything anyways. . Back to discussion..I think should compare pound by pound. To have same power as my 3.0l td, Toyota had to produce 4l petrol whilst hybrid don't even hybrid4x4 yet in Malaysia.. hybrid good for little cars n petrol generally still ok for sedan or anything weighing less than 1.5 tonnes. . To move my 2.5 tonnes dugong whale efficiently, diesel is the best. |

QUOTE(ericmaxman @ Apr 23 2014, 02:41 PM) Santa Fe CRDI 2.2 436NM of torque 436nm is more than enough. It hits max torque at less than 2,000rpm I reckon |

QUOTE(DrBarbarian @ Apr 24 2014, 09:45 AM)  trucks will be even more intimidating.... sometimes I even wish I can blow a puff of black smoke at tailgaters.... but the santa fe almost never puff.... No worries. . On raining days, you can spray water via rear tires on them. . Seeing more and more santas on the road these days. Thumbs up |
