Matrix! Eat your heart out!

press once (DON'T step on the brake) is standby mode, only can listen radio
press twice all electronics are on, can roll window/side mirror

if u press + step brake, will start engine

yes, it will only light up a while when engine is cold. so, just don't high rev/push hard when cold. that's all

don't spoonfeed...everyone should read the manual

oi! later Matrix

Got.

IMHO, upgrade suspension (lowering springs or adjustable coilovers) better than spend RM1-3K on bodykit.

Bodykit is only cosmetic.

Upgrading suspension improves handling and performance of the car AND looks by lowering your ride height.

Just tested my City fitted with 195/50/16 tyres at Genting this week. And I can tell u guys that I'm no p*ssy at Genting roads. This car seriously needs lowering and/or anti-roll bars. Suspension upgrade can save your life, bodykit can only save your face.

No offense to bodykit lovers.

But if u want better actual performance, stay away from bodykits and spend that money on suspension upgrade(s).

And by the way, u cannot have both, because bodykit + lowering = kraaaaack when u driver over speed humps/parking ramps

Yes, I almost lost it at the Karak highway high speed downhill "S" turn that day.

Beli lah Vios!

Matrix, think of it this way...don't think of handling and performance as something that only concern raceboys...

U drive out for late night supper with wife and kids...Mat Rempits chase u, u try to outrun them to the nearest police station, but your comfortable car got shitty suspension, at a high-speed corner u understeer and/or bodyroll too much, car hit guardrail and overturn.

or

U turun Genting, dunno why your brake fail, overheat or whatever dunno, your comfortable suspension setting car cannot take the corners at high speed...need me continue on?

Having superior mechanical grip is always better than having to rely on electronic-assisted grip.

Aiyo just saying lar...it's always good to have superior handling on the standby

Your door handle there got a lubang to fit tweeters.

But for better sound stage/stereo effect, stick the tweeters on top of dashboard like mine.
Yea it's a bit not nice to use double sided tape stick there, but usability above aesthetics for me

I was attacking the same S turn in the same manner as I did previously with Myvi (with 195/50/15 Michelin PS3 though ). But I think with the CVT and better sound insulation I unknowingly carried too much speed (130-140km/h ) into the second left hander section of the S. Scary man...

That was at Karak highway S turn, KL-bound not long after u join Karak from Genting...NOT on Genting hill road.

If u compare/judge while seated at driver seat, of course u will feel front speakers are louder.

Try open both doors and place your head right next to the speaker and compare/judge again?

Huh? It's all stock...all I did was adding a decent (Hertz HT 25 neodymium) but not wallet-bombing pair of tweeters and place them on top of the dashboard right next to the pillars. Point them like, 60 degrees angle (passenger side tweeter pointing toward driver, driver side tweeter pointing toward passenger).

See ghost once, really scared already. Like I mentioned earlier, the smooth CVT gearbox, rev-happy engine and better sound insulation made me unknowingly sped up too much prior to the dangerous S section

I actually drove gentler at Genting roads and ended up reaching hilltop a lot faster than I drive like a madman behind the wheel of a 1.3 Myvi auto. Now who said that 2014 City has no pickup and felt underpowered? No struggle at at all during the uphill drive

Are they of the same size? Could it be rear speakers are smaller?

but...who watches free-to-air TV nowadays?

off topic a bit

anyone knows if HU with function of internet radio is already available? it would be great to stream internet radio in car

Pink Elephant

Tried before, Bluetooth sound quality is quite bad.

Had hide-sama not died and drank beer like no tomorrow, he'd be Pink Elephant by now

Yes, stock Satria Neo and Gen.2 has superb handling, cornering can be done almost with the body flat.
