Well, I still get actual details on infected journalists issues. I can see some carmags backing out ever since this 'infected journalist' being brought up. Probably they saw my comments or someone told them to be cautious. They starting to play safe by not mentioning anything.


I'm not backing out. I'm challenging you. Show us your evidence.

Yeah, keep pushing like those infected journalists do. We'll see who will win at the end. If I wanted to show, I prefer to show it to some party not from automotive field that are very interested to go deep into this. I guess someone might leak news to them.

Forgot to inform you, if I worked for any other party, I will not be able to post straight forward comments here. Like you and infected journalists, have to post comments carefully so that it will not help alternative brands and lure more positive perception towards your infector brands.

Don't give excuses if you have nothing to back up your accusations. You're probably just full of hot air.

As I said many times, I don't have any mission to help or put down any particular brands. I'm sorry to see that you have such a warped perception of me.

Hi Stinger82,
I actually own Cruze since 2 mths ago. I have owned Lancer (crashed), Altis 1.6E (sold) & Camry (stolen).
What I can said abt the Cruze is the handling is sitting between Lancer & Toyota.
Lancer handling is stiff & take corners like nobody business. I can actually take sharp bends without using
brake to slow down (using paddle shift). Whereas Altis & Camry, they r meant for comfortable 'Uncle style'
driving.
Pls always bear in mind tat Cruze is a heavy car. So dun expect FC like Sylphy. Also Cruze is a very quiet car,
inside or outside, due to its timing belt. U need to change when reaching 100K km.
There r many features even showroom sales might not know, like car battery can be lock to prevent power
leak when not use for long time (especially overseas). BUT I hv not try out yet.
I m using Shell 95 & the FC is around 18.5sen/km. which I find it is reasonable.
As mentioned earlier, I hv opted for Cruze than 308/forte bcos of the look. Mayb I m more 'uncle'. smile_clown.gif
I hv tried light footed once on Kesas (short distance) n onboard computer shown 8.5lit/100km or 11.76km/L.
My 1¢ opinion is if U dun mind the resale value & looking for a safety featured vehicle...Cruze. No other cars
in Malaysia (except 308, if I m right) with this price hv stability control safety feature.

To others discussing on FC...
Few words for the N-Brand superb FC. Tat type of driving is only meant for competition/fun driving.
Pls bear in mind tat if such FC can b achieved in day-to-day driving & realistic, N-brand no need to build E-vehicle.
The FC is even better than E-car in the market now; H-Civic & T-Prius.
Chevy Volt wil have to wrap up & abandon the project. All other e-car makers wil b hv to say bye-bye.

BYE-BYE... smile_tongue.gif

Hi Gunner,

If I'm truly angered that I don't show mercy that I don't care getting several people into hot soup with license revoke, I might inform certain non-automotive parties that would really look into this. Post here will only allow the infectors and the infected eliminate evidence and prepare cover ups. Whether you are involved or not, please do not interfere.


Hi kawkawchan,

I know your style long time ago, don't worry about the typo error. Besides, I look into hidden message rather than just visible alone. Being straight forward can sometimes bring improvement and to tell carmakers what you really think about their cars, giving them real feedback. Unlike those infected journalists, sales and marketing staffs that prevent people from voicing out end up carmakers failed to understand and find out what people wanted.

Hi Chevy,

Going for Cruze is not uncle. It has best build quality and 1 of best torsion beam setup for C-segment. Just that many don't dig deep and test drive provided by Chevy can't really prove anything especially near the always stuck in traffic jam Federal Highway and those factory roads. Chevy marketing department should prepare car rental service aka 100% test drive to create awareness. Besides, I find local car company is sort of don't know how to make car vids to display their cars capability and practicality.

Besides, the FC reading that you gave me is not much different from the much lighter B-segment limo Sylphy that gets 8.9km/L at heavy city traffic and 9.4km/L at normal city traffic in reality. The lightfoot result is not achievable even with that style of driving style without hidden fuel tank. Not really hidden fuel tank but a tank with 2 separate compartment.

Hi Benny,

Cars with Valve timing actuator it requires either timing chain or special timing belt that is tougher than normal timing belt. Lexus and BMW used to give timing belt instead of timing chain for more quiet engine.

Jay, please send your proof to The Sun - Down 2 Earth - Terence Fernandez @ terence@thesundaily.com.

Terence Fernandez is a Journalist of high intergrity and has refused bribes from many shaddy characthers and having faced numerous death threats. I think he would be interested to expose this 'fraud' by the automotive company besides carrying out his own independent investigations.

I am not interfering with your mission. In fact, I am encouraging you in your quest to expose the frauds which you accuse these car companies are making.

I don't know Mr Fernandez personally, but I can tell you he's not part of the motoring media fraternity. cfa is right, if you seriously think we motoring media are part of a large conspiracy to cover up the truth, send your proof to someone who has a proven track record of being impartial.
