The way from Chiang Mai via Pai to Mae Hong Son and back via Doi Inthanun

What about mileage? Because the consumption of the new car is higher.

Many Civic 1.8 owners report it

The consumption become normal after 2-3,000 км on the clock

That's great, already working ?

From 15/11/09 (mistake the date in the previous post)

Is there any "load" in the card or was that 500 just to get empty card ?

500 already in and not 500 actually - 475 baht because of "promochan" 5% discount

Just got one. They cal it EasyPass

500 baht for device and 500 baht for card

Card can be refilled in any expressway entrance

The system will start from 15/10

I had 2 of them and I drive 5,000 km a month - no problem at all

Friend got it a month ago. No complains

Yep the Abarth is great.. But think it's 2.6 Million here in Thailand..

2.15M, already here.

does anyone knows if there is a specific times to go and apply or can I go anytime in the morning?

Ciao,

anytime but they have lunch break from 12.00 till 13.00

Last night I've got the water into saloon of Vios but still drive without any problem.

All depend on where your air duct displaced: as water come in - the engine will get the water knock

A modern auto is faster and more fuel efficient than any manual

Right. Twin clutch auto on Evo X or Nissan GT-R much faster than manual

But I love manual anyway

The hatchback is according to the dealer in Pattaya not on sale in the Thai market, although they make the model here. But export only. If it was, the decision would be very easy

The second-tier player from Japan also conducted a market survey to ascertain whether Thais would want to buy a five-door hatchback variation, which is now available for the European market where it is known as Sportback.

"We showed them pictures [of the hatchback], but Thais still prefer the saloon," noted one insider at Mitsubishi. "The hatch's such a handsome-looking car, but we don't get it."

Do you have any pictures of the Lancer with out all the plastic body kit attached? My wife wants one of the new factory Petrol/CNG models. Is 2.0 liter the only engine offering? Less power would suit her better. You say the interior isn't too nice. You mean poor quality or not visually appealing? Thanks. Appreciate the info so far.

There is no CNG from the factory but 1.8 engine with FFV - Fuel Fllexible Vhicle. You can use any gase 91,95, E10,E20 and E85 which cost 18 baht only.

Exterior

Interior

do you have any pics from the interior? What features do they have? Cruise Control? GPS?

No GPS. Cruise Control on top only 1.034MB

Grant, what is included in the ralliart package? Overseas, that includes modified engine internals, but doubt thats the case here. Is it only the body kit? 154K is a fair chunk of change.

I saw the list of RallyArt accessories in Thai but I don't think that there is something about engine - just the wheels, exterior and interior:

First 100,000 km - about 20,000 baht

Just make a test-drive today - GT2.0

Nice car but in top spec only. Low spec has bad interior and not fast enough

GT

RallyArt package, cost 154K

Don Muaeng Airport

I'll go to make a test-drive tomorrow

But as friends said, Civic 1.8 faster then Lancer 2.0 because of weight and CVT transmission

I wonder if the new lancer ex will come with all the goodies of the Philippine version - rockford fosgate stereo with amp / sub, seven airbags, etc. Almost as powerful as a civic 2.0, with more torque than the civic. However its pretty heavy - well over 1300kg, so that might blunt the performance. If the lancer is fully kitted out, and cheaper than the civic it would certainly bwe a car worth considering in its class.

No seven airbags in Thai version, but GT 2.0 look interesting - bi-xenon, sport seats, black interior, 18" wheels

By the way, 1.8 engine with FFV system - fuel flexible vehicle. Can use any gasoline - even E85 gasohol

All engines with CVT

There is four spec only:

not 100% clear is it in Thailand?

Tomorrow you can try it at Don Muaeng airport.
