QUOTE(RicoT @ Apr 17 2015, 01:00 PM) Take a ruler, measure from center of the rim to the center of the wheel nut, make sure the ruler is parallel to the wheel. That should give you an idea, either Pitch Center Diameter (P.C.D.) is 100 or 114.7. Thanks for answering..but..uh..I don't have the car yet..and still looking through my options for cars actuallyThe maintenance of a Merc is also fap material.  Cause was planning to change the rims to 15" and run on 195/50/15 tyres..has anyone done that here? This post has been edited by madman20: Apr 17 2015, 01:13 PM |

QUOTE(darkvader @ Apr 17 2015, 02:31 PM) i don't see any reason to down sizing the tyre It's true.. But i have my choices of tyres and most available on 195 50 15 thus the reason for down size u might get better pick up due to smaller tyre, handling better due wider tyre  but u will sacrifice the ride height might having difficulty when crossing speed bump and heavy load, comfort of the ride which is the car has a quite hard suspension and u try running on a 50series tyre  btw the pcd is 100  no point getting a new car, but u don't enjoy parts specification by a huge amount money for the engineering research? do ignore me, if i m bullshXt  And I'm aware of the ride quality and height.. In fact I'm currently on relatively stiff custom suspensions.. So what comes with the car is still softer for me anyway haha.. Thanks for the info nonetheless! |

QUOTE(darkvader @ Apr 17 2015, 04:31 PM) maybe u can try 205/55r16, with larger contact and without affect the ride height... Nah.. I'll stick to 195 50 15 because for the price of 205 55 16..i could get performance tyres for 15 =) ..thanks for the feedback peepsthis is the most suitable size... speed diff only 0.2km/h  |

QUOTE(ssyycc @ Apr 17 2015, 07:15 PM) If you want the speedometer to be correct , need to use 205/60R15, the look still acceptable for me geh. Nah..speedo show slightly faster is fine..in fact mine is about 5-10kmh faster..which is fine by me..that way I won't get a ticket For e.g.   And 205/60/15 no performance tyres..and yes..I MAY bring the M2 to Sepang/track when I can afford |

QUOTE(heroes1986 @ Apr 22 2015, 11:28 PM) Nice to see that.. Only 2 front airbags for Malaysia's unit =/What I noticed is that, all headlamps wasted which we need it very much.  and there's no side airbag in malaysia m2 right? Side note..I remembered that you guys were saying the HB has a relatively stiff ride..does it apply to the Sedan as well? I've yet to test drive..probably next weekend or this weekend if I'm back early |

QUOTE(RicoT @ Apr 23 2015, 07:15 AM) I am used to my old City's softness (might be due to worn absorbers) when I test drove M2 HB, hence that sudden change in feeling, I felt M2's suspension is stiffer. Although stiffer, but it is solidly built and bumps are absorbed by the higher profile tyres. As for the crest and trough of the road, you can feel it, as with most cars, but M2 will give you better feeling of the road through its stiffer suspension, unlike City, which would smooths out the crest and trough to some extend, giving me a feeling like sitting on a boat. Thanks for the headsup! But what I meant between the HB and Sedan versions of the M2I'm still contemplating between the 2.. I've always been driving a 3/5-door car since I got my license and it's not only fun..but the convenience of the 3rd/5th rear door opening..of course the downside comes with the limited boot space..but heck..drop the seats and taddaaah, right? It comes to a concern only when there's passengers at the rear seats and larger boot space is required (does not happen often in both of my previous 2 cars..but yeah..considering for the future and stuff I've always been a person that enjoy a nice firm ride cause I do spirited and occasional track days (not frequent anymore)..soooooo..Vios/City is totally off my list..as mentioned..I will go test drive both (if allowed by the showroom) before making a final call |

QUOTE(RicoT @ Apr 23 2015, 08:50 AM) When I first came to KL and work, I only have Myvi, and the rest of my family lives in east malaysia, every time they come over for vacation, there is not enough space for luggage space for 4 people incl me, for a week of vacation to here and there in west malaysia. My family including myself there's 6 of us..but most of the time it's me and my gf only in the car If this is your only car and your relatives frequently sit in your car to outstation, then sedan is your wisest choice. Unless you are sure you don't need to ferry more than 2 passengers for long distance long duration travel, which you can let one of the seats down and store more luggage within the passenger cabin, OR you have other alternative transport to do the above, HB is for you to consider. HB and SDN difference only 26cm a long ruler's length longer (still shorter than Mazda 3), and 9kg heavier for SDN.  Still contemplating..but thanks for the feedback!QUOTE(s1steven @ Apr 23 2015, 08:59 AM) Great, go to test drive but as I know major showroom now only have Hatchback ver for test drive, Sedan not available for test drive at the moment. If u want to test drive both ver, then better u check with all sifu for which showroom got sedan test unit Oh? Dangit..haha..nevermind I'll try my luck then |

QUOTE(chiahkeat @ Apr 23 2015, 10:13 AM) Look like milo tin 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 |

QUOTE(chiahkeat @ Apr 23 2015, 10:39 AM) you are right, but M2 Malaysia remove 4 airbag and left only 2 front air bag. Seem like not so safe compare this test. Of course..but could use it as a reference on the car body's reaction during an impact =) |

QUOTE(t3chn0m4nc3r @ Apr 27 2015, 09:43 AM) Bro. You tested Sedan or HB? For the throttle lag, it's probably due to the gear got upshifted or starts with gear 2 or 3. Probably to save FC. Yeah..I kinda understand that when I went to test the car..it was mentioned in a few review..just needed to "feel" how is it in real life conditions..but I don't think it was gear 2 or 3..cause I was at a traffic light turning into Jalan Kerjaya.. However..in terms to save FC it does make sense I tested the HB..the exact same car that most Car-blog/website tested.. Unfortunately there was no Sedan at HQ..the SA that was with me is from a branch in Padang Jawa, Klang..he say his branch has the Sedan to test drive there |

QUOTE(t3chn0m4nc3r @ Apr 27 2015, 10:19 AM) Based on your driving style, you will most probably not like the sedan. Yeaaaaaah..I've always loved Hatches..my first car was a Wira Aeroback..then a Neo..was also looking at the Suprima..and now my eyes is on the M2 HB But please do test it. One important feedback I got was "If the rear boot requires space for more luggage..the rear seats folded..no one can seat at the back seat already" And it kinda got me thinking on the Sedan..but yeah..will definitely drive the Sedan and give it a go.. I found the HB a little tail happy too..took a traffic light 90-degree turn and there was a small bump..tail almost came out..fun! |

QUOTE(t3chn0m4nc3r @ Apr 27 2015, 10:32 AM) Not sure if you will feel the same but HB has lower and stiffer suspension than the sedan hence I think you may not like the sedan handling. I noticed it lower..but not sure about stiffer..hence I asked before if the HB and Sedan drove in the similar way or notIf you are OK with Proton, the Suprima S is the better car having turbo and all.  I'll give the Sedan a shot..probably this Friday..or even this Wednesday..since I half day Will see firstIf it's really softer..I may lean back towards HB! HAHAHA! I'm okay with Proton..no offense but I've always like how Proton tune up the ride of their cars.. Haha..unfortunately the FC is slightly higher =x and the M2 is waaaaay lighter..nimble too! |

QUOTE(t3chn0m4nc3r @ Apr 27 2015, 10:38 AM) From what I understand, they are pretty bad in tuning their ECU. Most of their performance and FC issues are solved by updating/tuning ECU. Unfortunately, it's super hard to find SC tech who understands and knows what to do unless you make it big like how a certain doctor did for his son's Iriz. Yeah..quite true..unfortunately cars like my Neo there isn't much update ever sine I've gotten my car And also unfortunately I'm not THAT big..just a small fella in Malaysia trying to survive Anyhoo...I hope to try the Sedan this Friday..I believe they're open 7 days a week |
