  1. You can't compare the power of a family sedan with the power of performance oriented Type-R. For a 2L family sedan ( with usual weight) 155HP was never considered as underpowered.
  2. GayanR is right. Road noise in Mazda is quite annoying especially when combined with certain tyres. I switched to Michelin XM2 which is also low rolling resistance type. Though I had to sacrifice the grip a little bit, ride is quiet and comfortable now.
  3. Your comment make sense ( if you delete 'like us' )
  4. Throw all the words you know. No one will be impressed here !
  5. Talking nonsense and beating around bush again... Why should I check? You are the one who saying PCB melt due to overheating. Where is the fire?
  6. The fact is that IGBT and FET are different and 200c can't melt the PCB at all. Before anything can be happened the system will go to fail safe mode according to Toyota!!
  7. Good. Now you are referring to the official document. In that document they never mentioned about fire risk as you have mentioned before. AFAIK they are not FET they are IGBT? IGBT characteristic curve shows that they can withstand the temperature up to 200c Now add this to your TO SHOW list: Show us a melted PCB due to the over heating of IGBT
  8. Checkout this.. http://adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=24836#comment-1135400175 wherever he goes, kick the bucket and boasting about his 8 years experience in global auto industry, and blah .. Is that called identity crisis?
  9. Refer to the page 23 for specs in http://new-lancer.com/catalog_pdf/14MY_LANCER_EX_G.exp_EN.pdf
  10. Alto 800 achieved a zero-star rating for its adult occupant protection.
  11. Well, jokes aside, I know everyone here knows this.., if you accelerate hard, 'kick down' will be activated and shifting could be delayed or downshifted, giving you more power. This is useful when you need more power such as during overtaking. To quickly shift-up to the next gear for normal driving, you can slowly accelerate to critical point in RPM and push back the gas pedal little bit.
  12. Don't believe agent's comments. Do your own research. Both cars being mainstream Japanese cars, spare parts should be more or less equally available. Besides, unlike your previous Maruti, you would hardly need spare parts other than serviceable parts, at least for the first 5 years . If I'm in the same situation, I would obviously go for the Lancer.
  13. To get a better answer to your question, why don't you open a poll: 'Would you buy a second hand hybrid?' or something like that.
