QUOTE(lucifah @ Jan 24 2007, 11:57 PM) many ppl has good comment on the manual version erm... actually, shouldn't you signal first then change gears when it comes to turning? That is the proper way of doing it, right? Not turn and signal at the same time, on the spot... good fc and also considerable pickup power however, just keep in mind: the car is continental-styled, thus the turn signal lever is on the left, rather than on the right side. this means you change gear and use the turn signal with the same left hand. needs time to get used to, but much harder in manual than auto  |

QUOTE(Ken @ Jan 26 2007, 09:09 AM) i think because normally people tend to put his/her left hand to the gear knob first even before turning, and the right hand ready to turn on the signal...now need adjust a bit according to lucifah... really? I thought it was because people couldn't care less about road safety while others are simply too blur, and usually just change lanes last minute.  |

QUOTE(Tainted @ Jan 26 2007, 02:17 PM) Actually I can afford to pay about RM800 for installment for 5-6yrs... really now? You can guarantee that you'd have a steady income for 5-6 years?  |

QUOTE(KeV @ Jan 26 2007, 04:10 PM) ooh so thats ur existing car, why another car? lol Mental problem? A Bella would really be sweet now for me. Use my Vitara for work as the roads here are really bad. But use my Bella for weekends to come back to KL. Driving a 4WD up and down the highway sucks ler.  |

QUOTE(Tainted @ Jan 26 2007, 10:35 PM) You're eyeing for that? nope, not getting a Waja or any local car. It's just me lah. Not really a fan of local cars yet. I'll still get a 2nd hand Conti or Jap car. What do you think? Do you think I should just get a wira and a Saga,less maintenance..Installment is about the same. I think the Wira has lower maintenance cost, right? Seeing tht its an older car and all. I think the Waja is more comfy though, sitting in both, I feel that the Waja is much more spacious. What do Proton owners think? |
