[supergripen]

i'm gonna book mine next week..getting the normal 1.5vvt only.haven't had time to actually go and check but anyone know for sure if there is a manual version available for the 1.5vvt??
if there is,what wud be the price? interest rate still 2.5% rite? i'm timing the purchase so that i cud register it in January 2006 k:
i think mett.silver looks spanking!! kinda gives it the euro look..couple that with some lowering springs and a set of 17s..hmmmm.. k:

The "official" (read: SMA salesperson) line as of 3 weeks ago is:

The Sport's coming next June (same time as UK launch) at RM90-100k provided that there are no AP issues at that time. SMA finally got APs for its latest batch of CBU 1.5s, but given that no new APs will be issued for 1.5 and below under the NAP, there are CKD plans for the 1.5.

Lots of enthusiasts have queried about the Sport, and SMA knows that they are holding back buying the 1.5s. SMA themselves are pretty eager to bring it in.

The Sport brochure in the showroom looked so well-thumbed, I guess its true!

I was throwing out all my old car magazines the other day, and read a 1990 Number 1 magazine (remember that one?) review of the GTI by a young Mel Lee. Its been too long. Now, lets start saving...........

HI guys whats the Fc on the swift pls..read that rear passenger room is less than Jazz..what do you guys think?

 

[skycon]

Might as well get a Mini One Manual. Bigger, more fun to drive, sunroof, stick shift, on rail handling, great mod potential. 2nd hand or recon pun ok wat. (cabut)

We got ours just in time for CNY, red kaler summore......

FC is good.... doing less than 15sen per KM... mayb due to being soft footed.... engine not even hit 1K yet...... :nyehehe: :nyehehe: :nyehehe:

Engine is powerful and responsive, very willing to spurt..... gearing ratio is ok for town drive, and good enuff for hway (tho not tested it on long hway journies)....

Leg room is ok, comparable to the Jazz but this depends on the driver la.... if u drive a Swift but sits like driving a Lambo, then diff story la.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

But head room is better then Jazz....

So far, is very happy with the car.....

The spare type is known as emergency tyre... meaning u change it in the event of puncture, and drive to the nearest tyre shop to repair yr punctured one.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yes, its those smaller in diameter, circumference and width type.... like on Civics..... And also, its hung from the underside... :nyehehe: :nyehehe: :nyehehe:

And, yes, the back space is spacious, can fit one golf bag just right without folding the rear seats.... folding the 60/40 seats will give u more space..... enuff to..... errrr... "rumble in the taman" even..... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Was looking into the blue one, but thought that will not be cool after a while... so took the red one... which is a metalic based paint, not solid karler like plotongs......

this should be very interesting...

good news..today's NST reports that DRB-Hicom just signed a deal with Suzuki to enable local assembly of Suzuki cars.this and the fact that the duties for ASEAN produced cars has just gone down by 20-40% under the NAP shud be good for a cheaper CKD'd Swift..might be awhile before the car rolls off the local assembly line but i think its worth the wait.

 

[ALBundy]

It is indeed good news to car buyers. Lets see how much the price differential is. *keeping my fingers crossed*

 

[cysoon]

I just order a swift. I am getting my car next week. Damn it the news come in too late.

 

[et5]

I would not worry so much cysoon..did not want to wait for the GT? kekkekkek

 

[supergripen]

just learned that the Swift prices will be going up somemore..damn.

the CKD will only start in 2007..too late.
