hands up if u need heater on rear windscreen

 

There are certain mornings where it is so cold and humid that the whole car surface 'fog up'. Even if u wipe your glass it will fog up again (on the outside). That's when it's essential to have the heater. In fact I find that if you are not moving fast enough, you need to turn on the front wiper as the front windscreen will also fog up.

cheap man's toy...

no substance ride

[Good-Carbuyer]

eh, my current and recent cars (from 90s onwards) all like this:- side of driver seat on the floor there's a small lever, pull the lever, the petrol-flap opens, then unscrew the round cover, and then can pump petrol liao.... isnt yours like this also?

A manual key dedicated to the petrol cap used to open for topping up petrol. That means can pick car key and drive car away, but fuel tank empty will see stars

[Jchuacl]

Mine comes with a button to tune into the Japanese emergency radio frequency which is totally useless here.

Towing eye. Nobody gets to tow anything in Singapore.

This one got use:- reverse and bang another car in carpark....

The more basic the car = less headache.

 

Technology can be boon or bane.

 

Also quite alarming that the parents can entrust their baby to a caregiver and head for a test drive. As near as in neighbouring countries, baby would probably be kidnapped.

A 2 door coupe. So cramp inside the car siah and not to mention stuffy when the car is not running. It's not technology at fault imo.

This has nothing to do with technology.  It is just plain dumbass parents.

 

More basic = less headache in terms of maintenance.

 

More technology = ease of use.  Not everyone want to pay more to get less.

Spare key is with the remote in the bag on the front seat.

 

Dumb ass driver.

But I still don't understand why they let the car doors lock automatically with the keys inside. I thought most cars won't lock themselves if the key in close to the car.

I don't think this is the 1st case.  I think there are previous cases too.

My cheap Hyundai can't even lock if key is inside the vehicle. Their BMW malfunction?

[RogerNg_185295]

Maybe BMW owners can give their insight on this? If not, a lot of trolls will attack BMW and its drivers again
