What makes you think super is below 92?

The 13:1 2.0 skyactiv was built specifically for lower than Ron 95. Is it a fact that they are bringing 14:1 2.0 skyactiv engines locally?

Main differences between level seems to be Rear view camera, full "leather", full auto ac, smart key. It kind of makes me think of a cross between a Vitara and Evoque.


looking good. any diesel option?

I have no test of our fuel but I am off the belief that super is below the 92 ron that is stated.

No knock sensor helping you if you constantly put the wrong fuel in. There is only so much timing you can pull with 14:1. Might start running like a diesel :shock:

I'm not sure about the compression ratio on the Skyactiv 2.0 in the Mazda 6 locally, but I can confirm that Super is actually regulated and sold as 93 RON at the pump. It's definitely not under 92.

Why is it power steering/ fabric seats/ air condition/ air bag/ need to be advertised as features??

Shouldnt those things be standard?

Was listening to the commercial for the mitusbishi lancer on raidio and they called out these things...

Thats not what i meant...

Its features, yes...but considering that these things are pretty much standard in all new vehicles....
Why is stating the obvious even a selling tactic?
Things so bad?

tuners....we need a 4wd double cab pickup asap.

Hilux....booked up. Cocky sales rep. fire bun.
NP300.....March 2016
D-Max...not interested because of SS
Actyon Sports....not interested
L200....available ready to license
Colorado....available ready to license
Ranger.....will be female driven so no heavy T
BT-50.....same as ranger
Amarok.....no vw ever again

Checked out the L200, it is not the fully loaded model from Mitsubishi but its the best of what is available from DM at $275k. Colorado LTZ is the loaded version from GM but costs $285k and has 1 year free service.

Features are: leather, power seat, touch screen GM/Chevy MyLink system, HID's, fogs, traction, stability, usual power features, airbags, parking sensors, Bluetooth, rear camera, tint, mats, keyless entry, 6-speed tiptronic, 2.8 duramax turbo with 500nm torque and Z71 off road suspension. There is a lesser fabric seat LT version for $225-230k.

What you guys think screw resale value and give LSM the sale or head to DM and get the L200. We don't care about how it looks but if I had to choose one based on looks between the 2 then it would be the Chevy. Or screw both and buy the red revo "revolution" hilux on page 1 trinicarsforsale :shock:

New vehicles are really weighed or do they just take weight figures given to them by the dealer?

I dont think so....
I havent seen a single 4x4 ranger with MGW under 3200kgs

the 4x2 short models are lower than the 3200

So is either they taking a chance or they got class 4 permit

I don't think the Colorado comes with HIDs; i think they are halogen projectors.
A friend of mine has the fully specced colorado. The only problems he mentioned to me was that
he has to change brake pads often; I think he was on his 4th set at around 30000kms. This could be the result of his driving but the front brakes have a somewhat small disc with a single piston calliper.
It also comes with the dreaded Bridgestone dueler 840 tyres which are notorious in the wet.
I have no info on the L200

Same here. Learn that the hard way. More than once. The 2016 wildtrak is a facelift tho so leaning towards that.
