Quantum 5th Gear March 1, 2013 Author Share March 1, 2013 [/size]This car is equipped with Steptronic control. You canuse the gear shifter for "manual" gear change without clutch on thefoot. In addition you have paddle shifters doing the same. I guess that Mycarforum does not have an option for "semi-manual" and Car owner could bea car enthusiastic to call it manual rather than "Auto" without clutch can not call "Manual", ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged March 1, 2013 Share March 1, 2013 easy lah, setup a private company @$50 only, then register commercial Hilux under your company Nah... I travel to Malaysia quite often... don't wanna go through all that trouble and not to mention Malaysia side also have to settle the paperwork as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckbuild 6th Gear March 1, 2013 Share March 1, 2013 (edited) The Fortuner runs on the Hilux chassis, so if the similarities include the running gear, shouldn't be a problem off road. Yeah, the ones modded by the scandinavian guys? Very nice. But too bad can't register as private car here. It's a pity only G plate in SG, gonna get two when I migrate to Malaysia in future Edited March 1, 2013 by Deckbuild Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonetheless Clutched March 1, 2013 Share March 1, 2013 it is a auto... but i think you can go to any dealership and request for manual if you really wan to, i saw F10 with manual gear before, or you can consider to get a defender 110 aka wagon, 2.5TD Manual Transmission Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maseratigood 5th Gear March 1, 2013 Share March 1, 2013 You go for a Land Rover, Range Rover, Suzuki Vitara or Toyota Landcruiser if you're into serious offroading. Not a BMW or some other sissy half baked SUVs that are actually meant for ponding use, not proper off roading. The old school Lada jeep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptronic Supercharged March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 without clutch can not call "Manual", Agreed. It is "Semi-manual" but, Sgcarmart does not give option for that. That is why the owner chose "Manual" so that the viewers can think why it is called "Manual" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue850r Clutched March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 Surf through sgCarMart, finally found a favourite "Manual" SUV as, BMW X6 but......, there is not Clutch pedal, can anyone tell me what a "Manual" it is :angry: can't understand why SUV made as all Auto in Singapore, SUV is for off road adventure, M/T is basic equipped, if want auto, go for MPV lah :angry: Probably key in the ad wrongly. Under Feature column, It was stated as "6 speed Auto". Many of the locals only want the look and not the substance. Hence Auto is good enough. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
