Coolerad Neutral Newbie March 10, 2006 Share March 10, 2006 haha... if u know the names, keep it to yrself... else their rice bowls become shaky... i tink if bend the rules can also, but on case by case basis and on grounds of reasonableness like you mentioned (ie.age, maturity, yrs of experience and timing of test drive for road conditions) but if for outright $$$, then no good ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falc 3rd Gear March 10, 2006 Share March 10, 2006 But seriously, they are sales people afterall, so to close a deal, they will do everything within their power to sell. And what better way to entice the buyer than to let him test the powress of awd and boxer's revv-iness on the road? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear March 13, 2006 Share March 13, 2006 it's about the same as the EVO8 MR, anything below 3k is no boost, I guess the EVO9 with MIVEC solve the low end part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtvox Neutral Newbie March 13, 2006 Share March 13, 2006 Even if you can't get a test drive at MI, you could get it elsewhere...other Authorised dealers are usually more lenient... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hmanxx 2nd Gear March 13, 2006 Share March 13, 2006 I started to know rex by chance, one day provoke a rex, kena blown away, i started to wonder how come this stupid car pick up so fast and started to read the information on rex. i bought my rex by chance,not planned, because of test driving altis and have spare time, pop by motor image, test drive forester, 1st time got the feel of turbo. Immediately get hooked , fall in love with turbo car. The next step is test driving rex with the help Mr Vtec.Lagi jialak, deeply fall in love. No return path for me. sell my old ride with big loss and now everyday.kicking ass or taking revenge on those cars that bully me before.. If you are keen buyer, no such 50% NCD rule,i test drive that with 0% NCD. I didnt buy from the first guy that allowed me to test drive forester but refused me from test driving a rex. For petrol consumption...everyday 5-6krpm dragging still get 8km/h..very gentle drive 8.5km/l..the story is dont care on petrol..if you can take 8km/l...rex is not expensive to keep. if you are young at heart..go get one to enjoy for a few years..

Mmatrix Neutral Newbie March 13, 2006 Share March 13, 2006 I only test drove the 2.0l WRX, turned down the offer to test drive the STi. Personally feel that the suspension setup can be improved. Then try the STI, it has the improved suspension.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade Neutral Newbie March 13, 2006 Share March 13, 2006 i discoverd WRX another way, my friend owned one and offered me a ride... he drove really slowly in it and simply showing me the stereo system and all that while talking nicely with me... all of a sudden without stopping the conversation he floored the accelerator kicking in the turbo. It felt like a crazy rushed rocket... my chest was glued to the seat. I have never forgotten that first initial rush. It was like a big trick he played on me to catch me off guard. Test driving it around, no problems because you can test the old second hand ones off the market, and they too still deliver the extremely "unpleasant" powerful rush.

Mmatrix Neutral Newbie March 13, 2006 Share March 13, 2006 Cars that have 0-100kmph under 10 sec should have that "felt like a crazy rushed rocket... my chest was glued to the seat" feel.. My cls is like that when I floor the accelerator.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched March 14, 2006 Share March 14, 2006 Am not going to go test drive it at the moment. Dont want to be tempted. [reply] Then try the STI, it has the improved suspension.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched March 14, 2006 Share March 14, 2006 Was lucky enough to get a similar feeling... from an E55 AMG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmatrix Neutral Newbie March 14, 2006 Share March 14, 2006 Haha, I am tempted to get the 06 facelift and decal it to a Police's lookalike.. Its so nice... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched March 14, 2006 Share March 14, 2006 Do that and you'll be guaranteed with a smooth ride in the overtaking lane on all expressways ! All cars will give way to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmatrix Neutral Newbie March 14, 2006 Share March 14, 2006 Really meh... This after I saw a car not giving way to an flashing ambulance.. Until the Ambulance on his siren and high beam that guy, then he change lane... I think I need to install blinkers and act CID.. haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade Neutral Newbie March 14, 2006 Share March 14, 2006 no lah, i've driven a Ford 4.2L inline 6... trust me, even though it is 8 seconds, it's nothing like the WRX or a below 6 second car... that 2 second difference is incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmatrix Neutral Newbie March 14, 2006 Share March 14, 2006 So, its that the backward thrust will be greater when a faster 0-100kmph car.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched March 15, 2006 Share March 15, 2006 I believe the cars here are more averse to the TP then the ambulances. It is sad to see that some drivers do not give way to such services, esp when lives may be at stake. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
