You know there is a trim that has the ole school grill right? Oh maybe its an aftermarket option .david12 wrote:HSM started to bring in a couple new colours. That dark grey with the blue pearl is sick. Because the grill is body colour I hate the white Vezel. But the darker colours are sweet.

I personally saw a Cruze 1.4t obliterate a Kia Optima 2.0. I have a feeling the Mazda 6 2.0 won't stand a chance either but the Accord 1.5t for 425k is a good option.
If Zando and Drchaos is up for it, I would like to see some short mature highway pulls between said Cruze turbo vs the Civic turbo to understand what the gap would be like. If there's any properly functioning (lol) stock Jetta TSI's out there willing to join in, pm me let's organize something.
Sadly all those cars are dead locally except the Accord and Civic. The Accord can be the new sedan benchmark that gives us luxury, space, fuel economy and reasonable power/performance especially if you're not a crossover person.
In terms of crossovers now, only 3 reasonably priced ones I can think of that has that blended mix of reasonable power, economy and comfort etc would be the Tucson 1.6t, Eclipse Cross 1.5t and CRV 1.5t. I would actually love to see some highway pulls with these as well as an Equinox 1.5t.
Small engine with turbo Olympics lol.
run that "lancer" against my "civic" nahDave wrote:Cruz is absolutely stock. No special tune. The Sentra however is tuned strictly on stock parts.
Ppl never realize there is free horsepower in every stock car. Just have to look for the weakness and build upon those.
I can always bring the lansah if anyone wants a bad hurting.

If you're desirous of weighing your car (or anyone for that matter) and testing your acceleration times, feel free to pm me.
PPF is nice for a new car that you'd really like to protect the paint. If the owner wants to keep both protected then yes it's worth it. If the Hrv was purchased to use all the time to not rack up miles on the X5 then it may not be worth it for the Hrv because it's clearly the daily that doesn't really matter if it gets a small chip or scratch. With all that being said I've never seen the service being offered locally, if anyone knows a person who does it share some info pls.ALady4ALady wrote:I had searched the site but did not find any thread on Paint Protection Film {ppf}.
A friend recently bought got the X5 and HR-V, both are not even insured as yet, and now looking into PPF.
If anyone should know, it would you all in this group/forum.
PPF, worth the money on both or just the X5?

I actually like this initiative, dealerships should partner with these high end detailers so that brand new vehicles can get the coating and protection it deserves since the paint will have zero contamination to worry about which would make the coating process easier.
