Even the Skyactiv-G engine is downtuned to 13.0:1 to suit their regular gasoline.
*
So our Skyactiv G is 14:1 right?? Means if using RON97 will get lot of mileage compare with RON95?
Ok I got the answer already, RON 95 is sufficient for the skyactiv G 1.5 since our petrol has higher octane than japan standard petrol(RON92).

The European 1.5L is downtuned 90PS to suit the European roadtax structure, which is taxed based on emission level, not cc. So, if the ECU is tuned to give as little petrol to burn as the engine possibly could possibly run on, the roadtax will be cheaper.

Haha if malaysia like that proton tutup long time already

Vehicle Duty Tax Bands in UK (Yearly)
M2 89g/km roadtax £0 = RM0
Saga 180g/km roadtax £335 = RM1807.07

In the email, they also not sure whether compatible with our m2 or not. But for it to work standard as Japan ver, u need item 1 and 4 as below, other can ignore. If you got someone to modify the headlamp connector for u, then u just need item 1

1) headlamp LEd type with led running lights
4) automatic headlamp control
*
Wait until PRC laucnhed the new m2 only we will get cheap parts. Now just N/A
If for M3 they are plenty available now

I drive manual cars all my life and I'm very sad to drive auto with this car ( since no manual variant). Driving manual will definitely solve all this jerking problems ( unless u got terrible manual driving skills). No matter what technology or how powerful, the auto transmission will always have a limitation. I do not know why the Malaysian market demand for auto more when real drivers drive manual!!!!! That is just my only complain or regret about this car!!!
*
Not many manual car market for Malaysian because of the traffic condition loh. European still selling lot of manual car. It's still the best feeling to drive manual.

I miss that stick.

your passengers are your blindspot monitoring system haha... I think can call Live Blindspot Monitoring system. depending on how loud the scream is and how many !@#$%^ words come out will determine the danger level. This live system also can coach the driver when to exit junction, when to cut lane and is also is a reverse camera and rear airbags. Even merc also don't have such level of monitoring system.
*
If you know what is the correct way to setup your side mirror you could cover all the blind spot.
I am now setting the side mirror as the follwing
http://www.wikihow.com/Set-Rear%E2%80%90Vi...ate-Blind-Spots

But it's not common for most malaysian driver.
And you need to get used to see your rear mirror and also side mirror before you change lane instead of just rely on your side mirror, the side mirror function is to cover the area which your rear mirror is not covered.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. The paper advocates adjusting the mirrors so far outward that the viewing angle of the side mirrors just overlaps that of the cabin’s rearview mirror.

The paper advocates adjusting the mirrors so far outward that the viewing angle of the side mirrors just overlaps that of the cabin's rearview mirror. This can be disorienting for drivers used to seeing the flanks of their own car in the side mirrors. But when correctly positioned, the mirrors negate a car's blind spots. This obviates the need to glance over your shoulder to safely change lanes as well as the need for an expensive blind-spot warning system.

Is this illustration caters for left hand drive (american) or right hand drive (malaysia)? I believe it is for left hand drive. It makes me wonder how can one right hand drive car put so far from the car for left side in the illustration.  hmm.gif

You are correct . The pic from U.S. so is left hand drive.
But the concept still applicable to us.

haha sorry my bad my bad.
Anyway I have encountered many close escape on the blind spot trap before , after using this is much safer, since I can see everything from the mirror and no need to pusing pusing.

it's part of the immobilizer system. Even starting the car without the "key" will cause the engine to off immediately.
I see b4 howiechoo mod myvi to add this feature. Theoretically any car with motorized side mirrors can do. :he he:

I used coolworld tint few years back, their higher range product (1K +) is quite good also (not much heat felt).

Excuse me, may I know how to compare rear seat size from the spec? @.@
No idea which category should I read. My parents asking me to take suzuki, they say the rear is larger den tis. Izit? As I heard alot ppl says suzuki swift is much smaller den myvi.
*
You can't see the rear seat size from the spec. Go to the front seat adjust the seat to your normal driving position. Then you seat at the back and see how many fist you can put between the seat and your knee, for me in M2 my knee is rubbing the seat and I am not really that tall. That all youtube reviewer is doing.
Generally speaking, for guys at the back is not comfortable, but gals is ok.
But don't focus on this area, M2 cannot fight with almera and city their interior is really huge., i also can confirm myvi has more room than M2 also.

Most cars nowadays have crumple zone which meant to absorb the impact..thus looking very "milo-tin" like..but the good side is that the force on the drivers and passengers inside is lessened significantly

Of course what's important are those pillars and chassis that stops the body from crumpling further into the passenger zone..that has to be strong to ensure to reduce the chances of death
*
The trend is all cars getting lighter and so use less and less steel, even skyactiv engine block made of aluminium. but the rigidity of the body frame should not be compromised when reducing the car's weight.
The rigorous crash testing and the advancement of automotive technology will ensure that all new car model is indeed safer than older model.
If it's not that means everyone here has been conned smile.gif

The top few lines are the radio antenna for sedan. Please check the owner manual, it is written.

Another way is ask yourself, where is the antenna? Then your common sense will come out for your question

Just a thought ,if it possible for us to install extra air bags in M2. Seems better choice than replace the front light which cause 5K.
