AcuraNSX 1st Gear February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 Yes mine is the black unit :p its has 8 the salesperson told me .. 2 front 4 curtain and 2 at the side of the seats. Wow 8 or even 6 airbags is already quite good for car of this market range... finally caught up with European cars. Start-stop... I think it's not really a good idea for non-hybrid cars... is the wear and tear worth it? And also how about aircon? I'd suggest turning it off. Volkswagen tech of shutting off cylinders makes more sense. How's the handling? Although yah... this is bread-and-butter car so no unrealistic expectations here :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volkswagen tech of shutting off cylinders makes more sense. How's the handling? Although yah... this is bread-and-butter car so no unrealistic expectations here :) When engine stop at traffc light, the aircon will still be on but after awhile the aircon starts to get warm, the engines starts automatically again. For handling steering very light... Previous car was hyundai sonata 2.4 and its quite heavy... Still getting used to it.. For braking rear using drum brakes, not so good so efficent braking.

For handling steering very light... Previous car was hyundai sonata 2.4 and its quite heavy... Still getting used to it.. For braking rear using drum brakes, not so good so efficent braking. In sg quite likely aircon will get warm fast and so end up will keep doing this starting and stopping thing more often then what it was designed for... read that car workshop can install a device to 'tweak' and disable the start-stop permanently if this bothers you. No wonder nowadays I walking along the roads cars stopped at traffic light there will be random car engine turning on sounds from BMW, Mazda etc.... can't be good for the engine's wear and tear for the long run.

Sadan 6th Gear February 19, 2017 Share February 19, 2017 just collected mine from there on Monday A quick review. - Steering feel is decent, not as light & "no feel" as I thought ( I did not test drive the car before I bought it !!!) - Space is good - Seats comfy (I opted for original fabric seats) - Power wise. As still very new (Odometer read 27km on collection), and I've been driving like a wussy . But decent for 1.5L. Not gonna win any traffic light race, but no one buys a Fielder for that lah My only gripe - > Suspension a bit soft and bouncy. Still on stock steel wheels with 175/65r15. Tomorrow changing to 185/60r15 XM2. Maybe will improve. Else I've shortlisted a set of coilovers form RS*R @othello, congrats on your new ride! Do share more review after a month or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
