Harrier 2017

[Xlack]

wow cool! how you got invited? you the first few batch to make booking?

 

You need to be the first 20 people to pay the refundable pre-booking fee of $3K according to my SE when she first explained to me about this. But after I paid the $3K she said the event is filled already and brushed it off it's nothing one. I believed her as I only had time to meet her 2 weeks later after our initial call. I was quite pissed that I missed this actually but I didn't really care for the event since I'm decided to get the car anyways. It's a nice to have. Then suddenly now got extra tickets so got invited. It's free and I have time so why not.

@Xlack,

 

I also booked for the car, though I didn't pay for the $3K.  Also, I didn't get the COE in the last bidding.

 

Now I'm all green with envy of you.  Grrrh!!

Same here... Got to continue bearing another 2 more weeks of sleepless night praying hard for July 2nd tender bidding..

Thanks for the link, how much for a driver's mate for example?

Paiseh bro, I really forgot. It's almost 10 years.

 

Give them a call.

Anyway the car won't be here until 3rd week July (confirmed date to be advised by SE). Hope you all get it during the July 2nd tender, then the timing will be just nice!

same happened to my 3A mats after 2-3 years. threw away. My toyota mats still no issue when i traded the car in at 6.5 years.

 

I didn't know where really had original 3M mats to replace.

Everything toyota is lasting hor ;)

I think all who paid $3k pre-booking will be invited to the launch. Those who then paid the full booking (additional $16.2k) last week will get another ticket to the Ritz Carlton launch.

This is to differentiate the early birds....

It is not a given that it is retractable. Look at Jag F-pace's

 

 

At that price range...it is kind of shameful to be honest.......

 

 

 

 

I usually retract it fully and remove and put under the boot floor when I am carrying bulky loads that require me to fold down the rear row seat backing

 

Of course you can keep the retractable cover in the 2nd row foot wells but that will be not very elegant solution.

 

 

 

ya of course it is retractable. It's like a roller blind, you pull at it and it rolls up nicely.

 

Whether it can be kept under the boot floor that one I'm not sure. There are several empty compartments below the boot floor but I don't think there is one cutout nicely for the tonneau cover. Anyway why would you want to put the whole thing aside, just have it fully retracted can already.

Gosh.. quite disappointed to hear this.. seem like I need to lower my expectation further.. if can achieve an average 10 will be happy enuf.. it gonna sucking lot of petrol despite a complete and comfortable car..

My NX200t FWD gets 11km/l on average, just did a reset after pump just now and got 9.5km/l on 30+km of 70% city driving including jammed pie and busy roads around jln besar...

Able to store it under the boot floor panel will be nice. Otherwise one can also leave it ON the boot floor,as it's usually just while carrying bulky items. After that it goes right back on.

 

That said, I believe the Forester which has under boot storage for the cover.

 

Now I just need to make a list of things to check before I make a trip down to the showroom again.

Same here,

 

Was told the same but got a call today saying got extra ticket so got invited for 2 px. I didn't put the 3K deposit but went ahead to book the car after they release the price. Went for the non-guarantee COE and was informed that I got the bit in last COE exercise.  

 

I think they will invited those who pay the refundable deposit and convert to firm booking as well as those who got the COE in last bidding exercise.

Thanks for the feedback. I think 11 is reasonable, assuming you are not especially light footed

[khinghong]

Seem like those who got their COE in the first bidding exercise are those who booked on the first day or very early one... 

 

Wonder if AD allocate COE according to booking sequence? Make sense?

Guarantee COE follow by those confirmed  early booking since all the booking price are the same . My booking was quite early.

From what i understand, turbo spooling has nothing to do with ecu as it is the exhaust flow that spools the turbine. Bigger turbo charger needs more flow to spool the fan but also generates more power than smaller ones. The lag which most says is the time you put ur foot down to the time the exhaust flow is enough to spool the turbine.

One reason why FXT felt more responsive could be due to the turbo itself. FXT uses twin scroll turbochargers which mitigate low rev turbo lags by having 2 fan blades of different pressure. The turbo pressure is also quite high and can reach 1.5 bar max.

 

The CVT of the FXT are chain driven instead of the regular rubber driven CVT so it is built to handle high torque and doesn't have that rubberband effect.

 

CVT bringing its rev to the optimum so there is no loss of torque. But then it will feel more like a golf cart acceleration...boring for some. Smoother for some.

 

FXT does come with a S sharp mode which the CVT mimicked a 8 speed gear to allow you to rev. While this mode feels faster and more engaging to drive, owners have taken the timings and found it to be slower compared to its original CVT mode.

 

Taken all this into consideration that could be why the harrier felt less urgent compared to the FXT.

Hi... The price for the Superior 3M Car Mat is $295 inclusive of the boot mat...

I signed on Monday 3/7 and got the COE 2 days later on 5/7. No loan, no trade in. Car ready only in Nov and registering in Dec. Wonder why BM bid high to get my COE so early this round.

[evidence]

Sorry if i may ask, u signed at wat price?
