Alright. Thanks for the advice. Gosh, I wonder if I bought it, I will drove daily to work instead of keeping it as second cars. But I see most of the seller usually are using it as their second or third car @@!

Hard to inspect for this unless you buy from friends instead of dealer right ? Hmm I sees many goes for vw GTi. But the mk7 has a lot of complaint on the knocking noise isn't ?

i think a lot of owners also drive the zed daily. just make sure you test drive and get a feel for the car before buying.

reversing can be a nightmare due to the rear blindspots. backing out of a carpark is especially risky. it wd be great if you can get a used unit with rear camera n aftermarket touch screen head unit already installed. the other solution to this is to reverse park each and every time.

the rear of the zed is also wider than the front so you would need to adjust your driving accordingly.

this is NOT an out and out sports car. it just looks sporty. performance is adequate at best. if you're looking for out and out performance out of the box, this is not the car. it COULD be a more sporty car if u r willing to mod tho.

at the end of the day, if it gives you a big grin, go buy it. thats why i bought my zed, and it still makes me grin every time i get into it and drive.

+1 knine
although if it has more kuda, it would be perfect

1nefz, its easier if you inspect if u buy from dealers, u dont owe em nothing, u can check all you want
if frens, later they say, accident free, then u still keep on checking, abit insulting on their trust

i think mk7 and crz, are very diff cat cars, and also priced very much differently 2 crz = 1 mk7 gti

Yea, perhaps gotta check on dealers first for now. Planning to mod it in future, but im getting the CVT model, so probably would go for basics mod only i guess.

im also driving the cvt model as well
u can opt to mod body styling, ICE, engine etc

i left last phase to mod, after that should be nothing already for my requirement

save money.. change car.. no point mod so much.. hehehe

kekekke no la, have to achieve my target
young time my mods not complete one, so hopefully this one can complete n fulfill my dreams

i should be at least driving it for another 2-3 years bah, just bought it last year ler

the cars i wish to have now, if i got the money should be gla250/45 or macan, or the upcoming ford mustang

wat mod u have done til now? mine oso cvt.

macan looks and sound damn good!!

if its CVT then modding is quite limited.. I may be wrong.. I own a manual one..

+1 on this .. Abg Jacky . I have to agree on that

But for me what comes into account the most is .. If the car makes you happy .. Just drive it .. Regardless the power or the capabilities to tapau other high powered cars .. Enjoy the drive only ..

TQ Abang Yeah..

Exactly.. hence I haven't sold my CRZ also.. it is quite a nippy drive and handles pretty well compared to my experience with other proper sports and 2-door cars..

Also, I need it to get into my office's covered parking which only allows green cars and a few other exceptions..

That's a plus point for us .. But sadly . even for green car has their allocated parking space .. There's still buggers whom are not driving hybrids or EVs are taking up the space .. Not judging but the mentality of drivers these days gets on my nerves ! Haha

agree.. mod for cvt should be quite limited.. no supercharging..
flash ecu should b ok i guess..
i quite worry tat my cvt transmission might blew up if i redline it too often.. hahaha.. hopefully not gonna happen.

I bought a used Z and it's my daily car. Occasionally I will still need to use the sedan should i need to carry long stuff, but for Penang island driving..it's purrrrfect!

bro u mentioned the track of the z is wider behind compared to the front, just wondering how does it impact on the driving? i mean... no offence, just wondering how different coz ..apart from the low slung seating and low CG, i didn't find much difference adapting to it.. but yeah the blindspots..lol... you forgot, if he can, change all the side mirror glass to the wide angle ones as well as the SPOON rear view mirror

God bless you, buddy.. Took the words right outta my mouth..

not much, mods that came with the car were Kenwood double din, with reverse cam, and rewrapped leather seats

my own mods were
1. blue side mirror
2. spoon rear mirror
3. spoon filter
4. spoon exhaust
5. spoon caliper (havent pasang though)
6. spoon sports spring
7. aftermarket HID
8. JDP front lip
9. JDP rear spoiler
10. FL rear diffuser
11. 17" Desmond regamaster
12. Rays lug nut (should be replacing soon with Desmond ones)
13. CRZ original boot tray

I think thats all i have mod

I would supercharged the car, maybe with just sprintex, not those heavy duty type from jackson racing or HKS
This would be the last step, if i got the moolah

i reverse parked my zed on the 1st day i got it n almost scraped my rear left fender on the corner of a wall.

Another time i went out of a corner car park n hit the tip of the sidewalk barrier cuz i misjudged the space available. scraped my sideskirt n had to send em 4 repair.

All happened in my 1st few months of ownership.

Some drivers are flexible enough to adapt to different cars very fast.unfortunately, i m not one of em.

Just sharing my personal experience so our friends can make an informed decision. I read all 3 versions of the crz forum thread here b4 buying my zed.

Ah yes.. The big ass u mean. Lol. Yeah I only had problem with the front bumpers.. Got scraped several times even without Skirting so I've gotten used to it now. But no doubt, it's one of the better handling and fun cars to drive. I have no regrets with my purchase to date. Only wish they would lengthen the service interval to 10k instead of 5k
