superdupre 1st Gear August 23, 2016 Share August 23, 2016 For those who bought FXT and are so worry about FC, please use BMW instead (bus, mrt or walk) :). For me, I enjoy my my FXT for its acceleration and value for money specs (led srs, touch screen, gps, 4x4, sunroof, power tailgate, boxer engine and many others) with no regrets. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdupre 1st Gear August 23, 2016 Share August 23, 2016 Yes, GPS comes FOC with my FXT. As compared with my previous old conti ride, FXT has so much more features to enjoy (eg keyless passcode access, keyless entry/start, ultra bright led headlights). I simply enjoy every bit of the car! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachdanom 2nd Gear August 23, 2016 Share August 23, 2016 (edited) Hearing the comments lately makes me keen to try a 2L turbo non CVT to see how the acceleration from stop differs...and see if it is less sluggish. Actually why not just always drive on S# mode haha Edited August 23, 2016 by Rachdanom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually why not just always drive on S# mode hahaEasy la. Just pop by pml try bmw 320i. About same 0-100 timing (7.3sec) on paper compare to fxt. Tried comfort mode, can feel a bit of gear change if step hard on accelerator from stop. No pull back to seats feel, quite gradual acceleration. But once it gets going, the handling is way better than fxt and in fact any sedans I've tried before. The 320i is responsive but doesn't feel as quick as I expected. If compared rpm to rpm on the straight, I feel that it requires slightly higher rpm to get it going compared to fxt. Strange? X3 felt quicker though but the one I tested is the xdrive 28i which more powerful. Dunno la Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, lately been noticing the pull back to seat feeling and I find myself gauging my acceleration based on that feeling haha. Actually I dont have much to compare with as been driving Mitubishi lancers whole life haha...maybe good to not know how others feel, hee, as are some things in life. Will just go try my Bro's BMW 5 series one day.... Edited August 23, 2016 by Rachdanom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdupre 1st Gear August 23, 2016 Share August 23, 2016 On paper and feel, FXT's horsepower is much much higher as compared to most popular jap and conti suv. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that CVT actually had no gear. But if you compare the X3 28i, which is almost same power/weight as FXT. X3 28i is 1sec faster on spec. But the X3 is double the price. So FXT is still better. Paying $1k++ can push the power to 280hp already 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When u buy the 2 year service package tgeter with the car, the price is 1k net. But if u buy the package during servicing after you get the car, price for 2 year is like 1.1k after $200 duo discount Anyone know? Check with my SE and he mentioned the 1k package is pure servicing without the free brake pad tire rotation etc like the 1300+ one. Not sure if it's true. Doesn't make sense now that I think of it. Anyway I did not take up the package as may consider servicing outside after first year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfur 1st Gear August 23, 2016 Share August 23, 2016 It become quite boring to open up to see message posing about FC and comparing this and that. In the first place its already stated in the SPECS what shit you getting into. My plans for my future servicing would be to get my own geniune replacement parts which i already sourced at a cheap price and get it done at pro shops. Parts like brake pads, oil, aircon, air filters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shev88 1st Gear August 23, 2016 Share August 23, 2016 By the way, for those who are using the nomad mat given free by MI (I believe those 3a brand), had read a lot of bad reviews about the mat like torn within few months or bad rubber smell, are the mats really that bad? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
