FXT has the voice command feature which the NA does not have... but I seldom use the feature :P

Nope, 2.0 NA also has voice command.

Yes. I am doing just that, powering my car camera using the cigarette charger inside the console box. I checked with my SE, this won't void the warranty. It does make sense because many of us do use cigarette charger to power up our GPS.

 

 

I think I read somewhere that if install charging cable to cigerette ligher socket will not affect warranty (as compared to direct to fuse box).

 

Anyone can confirm if that is true? (If yes, I plan to do this via the hidden console box socket and run the wire under the floor mats)

thanks for sharing.

hows ur daily moving off ?

 

Moving off is quite torquey actually. Dont have to step gas pedal too much. Activate S mode if want to win the drag race :p

Anyway have you test drive it yet? I suggest you test out the XV so you will appreciate the NA 2.0L more.

Hi All,

 

Would you recommend installing the camera system (Backvue) provided by Motor Image? or any other 3rd party brand to recommend?

 

I am not sure on the warranty portion if you get any other 3rd party brand and ask MI to install.

 

Getting car in December...;)

 

They are charging me 750 for front and back with some smart recording function.

wow $750 for 2 channel cam!

 

Maybe having a cam with GPS log is not that good idea.. imagine u got into an accident while travelling at 70km/hr on a 50/60km/hr road.. it's debatable on your share of responsibility.

 

I got IRoad V9 2 channel. Didn't get external GPS antenna $30 bec don't want that speed log function. At a cost of $420 including installation

Any idea when will the new face lift be here? Particularly interested on the memory seat, better sealing and active torque vectoring. I am ready to commit for FXT at current price level but the face lift news is holding me back......

heard it's 2016 March onwards.. but may not have same OMV as now as it's better equipped.. so u may have to adjust your current price level upwards.. still within budget if its at 135-150k at current COE level next year?

Wow, if i know the new FL will be here around March, i would have waited. In other country, this new FL is less than $300 more. Probably MI will sell at higher price during the inital mth, after a mth or so, it will go back to current price lvl assuming COE is constant.

 

Wonder we can tune the current drive as better FC similar as the new FL if it is just firmware instead of hardware improve

March is a little late.... Need to resist the itch for at least 4 months.....

Few k higher is ok. If over 5k more compare to pre-facelift then I think not worth. If price go up is because of COE then it is fair.

Yup, I followed this thread closely and this is where I found the info and links for the face lift.

Nobody talk about the face lift for a while. I was hoping to find out if there is any new information from MI, that's why asking.

 

No I have not placed my order. Deciding whether to wait or not.... Looks like I will wait.

No hurry, just itchy. :-)

Hii bro does motor image charge vastly different prices for colors that are a available from existing stock VS colors that need to be specially indented (due to lack of existing stock)?

 

I know they used to do this for wrx and Brz

What I learned from this thread is that MI charge additional 1k for color that are not in stock.

To be honest, it's the Power follow by the more aggressive looking Bumper styling.

 

Other things to consider between F and FXT:

 

- Auto tailgate

- Nice looking rims

- HK Speakers with Amp

- Paddle shifter for more control.

- Rear pull down cup holder (IIRC Premium doesn't have that)

 

Other than that, the premium got everything covered...

 

WD40 won't work don't waste the effort. The problem is the sound comes occasionally only, and then you try to replicate, it doesn't appear.
