I don't like to be seen to be talking to myself.... Only siao lang like Golum talk to themselves. 

What's wrong with being seen to be talking to yourself? And what's wrong with talking to yourself?

I talk to myself often, in fact almost everyday, but then ok lah, I am siao and everyone knows it,  so that probably explain it. [laugh][laugh][laugh]

Next time try talking to the car when you got passengers with you, and see how you feel when they say, 哇, 你可以跟车讲话的, 几神一下喔!!![:p][laugh][laugh]

Ole ppl has slower reaction than younger person.

Instead of going minimalist, they die die want more buttons.

Wouldn’t that be endangering other road users?
I use auto a/c fan which adjust via Temperature.

I use Auto headlights and wipers.

Even though I have a lighting fast reaction.

I like minimalists, but only for bikinis.

Auto headlights and wipers usually dont work properly.

Day time heavy rain, headlights never on…..goto manually on.

I absolutely hate auto wipers…..drizzling doesnt work at all.

Of course day time heavy rain doesn’t work properly.

It is meant for night time or entering tunnel.

Mini Auto wipers work properly

My observation is that such features normally do not work very well in Jap cars, but typically for conti cars even cheaper ones also work quite well. My cheap ride can also do variable speed wiping depending on how heavy is the drizzling, stopping the wiping motion when the car stops at junction till enough droplets then start wiping again.

Auto wipers cannot manually adjust low speed.

Only 3 settings or auto.

slowest settings wipe too fast for drizzle.

Manual wiper still da best

I am not talking about EU and it is one year SG data instead of 1 month. 

Dec 23 - everything in Europe went down vs Dec 22, including sales of petrol vehicles as the German economy, the largest car market in EU, is in the dump.

Talk about cherry picking. 😂

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/03/electric-vehicles-early-adopter-petrol-car-ev-environment-rowan-atkinson

And Mr Bean also pissed with EV 😂

For me.. I'll sit and observe then see how until my current diesel's COE expires in 3 year's time..
