Hi, any bros have problems with iPod touch with their car? The 1st time I used it there wasn't any problems. When I use it today, it cannot work. It didn't recognize my iPod touch. It shows my iPod is connected but there are no songs. Later when I unplugged my iPod, my iPod is stuck with the screen showing "accessary connected".

Any one encounter this?

turn off car electronics. restart.

works after that

Sportstronic?

Hi,

Just to check how often you used the Sportstronic manual gear shift ?
and when do you normally engage this manual over-write ?
i.e. Forte, Wish ?

thanks

Always? Whenever entry into expressway merging with traffic speed and overtaking.

Subaru

Mine alwaysused it just like Adrianli mentioned, and on those roads in M'sia thats needs lots of overtaking,
but i seldom use the 'manual' + & - shift, most of the time 'sports' mode will enough for me to overtaking.

bro, so far so good. no issue on engine or others. but changed one windscreen due to defect (manufacturer fault) - free
petrol is one thing not very good. normal driving without high way is 10km/ 1L.
for the price i paid yr 2010 S$57999 i am happy to have heater on two side mirrors, anti glare rear mirror. 4 reverse sensor. 17" rim.

but now toooooo ex to buy. i rather buy euro 1.4l car like WW.

Thanks mh3400,

I just test drove KIA Cereto Forte 1.6L with paddle-shift, 2011 body kit, 17" rims, 6speed transmission etc....all featured-packed swee-swee at $92k, very good deal.

However, I noticed the steering wheel has vibrations transmitted from the engine. Its more noticeable when I rev the engine at higher speed.

On my old Suzuki Liana, the engine is extremely noisy at hi-rev (due to 1.3L only) , but I don't feel the engine vibration on steering wheel that prominently. Likewise I've drove the Latio for a week, don't feel engine vibration on the steering wheel.

Does you steering wheel has vibration too? from the engine.
I'm not sure if this only happens in this car, or , most Forte has this behavior?

not for me, i tried few times when travel to KL high way at 150km/L ok. no vibration.
i only heard from mechanic is when wheel is not align properly or need to wheel balances it will happen above 120km/l.

6speed should be good for fuel
but if me i will wait till year end n see or try hyundai Elentra

Agree with you bro..I've not tried the Elantra yet, but have sat in it before at the showroom.

When I'm free might try Elantra to have a feel.

bro, did u ask the salesman regarding this question & what was his reply?

[jansonfinn]

Also if the wheels r not aligned properly, there will be signs of uneven wear on the tires.
